This raised bungalow from 1968 sits on a 55 by 162 foot lot, and it comes with a workshop that's basically a man cave, complete with a wood stove, 60-amp panel, and a urinal. Yes, a urinal. The main floor has three bedrooms, a full bath, and a sunken living room with a bay window. Kitchen and dining are open to each other, with patio doors leading to the backyard. Basement is partially finished with a separate side entrance, a 3-piece bath, and an office, giving you options. The house is tucked away in a quiet corner of Port Colborne, close to Highway 140 for an easy commute. It's an estate sale, being sold as-is, so you'll want to factor in some updates, but the bones are solid with poured concrete and block foundation. There's an attached garage and plenty of driveway parking. Asking $495,000, which is a bit under the median in the area. Taxes ran about $3,443 last year. If you're handy or don't mind a project, this has real potential.
