This 1,137 sq ft 1.5-storey A-Frame in Kitchener's Forest Hill area is a solid pick if you want old-school character without a renovation headache. It's got 2 beds and 1 bath, but the layout uses space well. The main floor has a living room, dining room, and a kitchen that keeps that vintage feel, plus a 3-piece bathroom that's been updated. Upstairs, you'll find both bedrooms, including a primary that's 10'8" x 11'8". Original hardwood floors run through much of the house, and the windows and storm door date from 2019. Furnace, central air, and roof have all been replaced in the last 12 years, so you're not walking into a money pit. The basement is finished with a rec room, laundry, and utility space, which adds some functional square footage. Outside, there's a covered deck and a private backyard with mature trees. You get a concrete driveway that fits 4 cars, which is rare for a property this size. It's on a 55-foot frontage lot. Location-wise, you're 0.6 km from St. Mary's General Hospital and 1.8 km from Kitchener City Hall. Downtown is about a 20-minute walk, and you've got Queensmount Public School 1.3 km away. The neighborhood has 49 active listings with a median price around $369,900, and this place is listed at $534,999. That's a premium, but you're paying for the updates, the yard, and the parking. It's been on the market for 62 days, which is typical for the area. If you want a house with personality and modern essentials, this could be it. I'd check the basement ceiling height though, rec rooms in 1940s houses can be a bit tight.
