This is a 2-bed, 1-bath all-brick semi-detached bungalow with about 1100 square feet of living space, all on one floor. The main living area flows from a combined kitchen and dining room (15'5" x 11'0") into a living room with a gas fireplace and deck access; the deck overlooks a fenced, landscaped yard with mature trees. It's got main-floor laundry, a 4-piece bath, and a primary bedroom at 13'11" x 11'6", though the second bedroom is a bit tight at 13'6" x 7'2". The attached one-car garage has inside entry, and the driveway holds up to four more vehicles. Basement's unfinished but framed, with rough-ins for a bath and laundry, plus oversized windows. Built on a 35-foot frontage, it's a freehold with no condo fees, and taxes run about $3,980 a year. In the Town of Simcoe, you're a short walk to Holy Trinity Catholic High School (0.3 km), and about a 10-minute stroll to Sobeys or the Norfolk County Fairgrounds. Downtown's recreation options like Talbot Gardens Arena and the Norfolk Arts Centre are within a 20-minute walk. The $484,900 price is above the area's median of $359,900, but you're paying for that brick exterior, the fireplace, and being close to everything. It sits on a quiet street with decent curb appeal, including a concrete front porch and walkway. If you're downsizing or looking for one-level living without a condo fee, this is worth a look.
