The backyard is the star here. An in-ground pool, big deck, and a huge 119 by 144 foot lot. You're not getting that in most places. The house itself is a 3-bedroom sidesplit with around 2000 square feet of finished space across three levels. Main floor has the kitchen, living, and dining rooms. Upstairs, all three bedrooms. Lower level has a rec room with a gas fireplace and a workshop. It's in decent shape, but some rooms feel a bit dated. Furnace and AC were both replaced in 2018, and there's a central vacuum and a full house generator. Parking is never an issue. The triple driveway fits up to 10 vehicles. Property taxes are around $3,200 a year. It's a quiet street in Seaforth, about a 15-minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Schools are close too, with Avon Maitland District School Board about 500 meters away, and St. James School under a kilometer. The pool equipment, riding mower, and snowblower all stay with the place. Priced at $679,900, which is above the median in the area, but you're paying for that lot and pool. Only 4 other active listings nearby, so it's a tighter market. If you want move-in ready, you might need to do some cosmetic updates, but the bones and the outdoor space are solid.
