Here's the deal: this bungalow is being sold strictly as-is, and the basement is currently gutted to bare studs after a recent flood. But don't let that scare you off. The upside is real. The seller has already put in a brand-new furnace and hot water tank, plus a full rough-in for a basement bathroom. It was an in-law suite for years with its own separate entrance, so with some work, you could easily have income potential. Upstairs, the main floor surprises with a fresh bathroom and kitchen, both featuring hardwood and tile flooring. Three bedrooms on one level, so no stairs for the living space. The lot is wide at 60.3 feet by 110.3 feet, and it's tree-lined for privacy. Out back, there's a deck and a gazebo area, plus a metal lifetime roof means you won't touch it for decades. Attached garage with space for six cars total on the driveway. Location-wise, you're 1.9 km from Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School and a quick drive to the Gatorade Garden City Complex. Asking $469,000, but nearby homes have sold for a median of $410,000, so there's room to negotiate. Just remember: tenants are in place, so viewings need 24 hours' notice. This is a project, but a smart one.
