Right across from a playground and green space, this 1915 bungalow on Haynes Avenue is the kind of spot where you can hear kids playing from your front porch. That porch is fully enclosed, so you get three-season use out of it. Inside, it's a classic layout: living room in the front, dining room off to the side, and a big eat-in kitchen at the back that's 17 by 14 feet. That kitchen opens onto a deck, which is nice for summer BBQs. Bedrooms are on the smaller side, but they work. The primary is just under 8 by 10, and the other two are around 8 by 10. One bathroom, a full 4-piece, is down the hall. Basement is full and unfinished, but it's got potential for storage or a future rec room. The lot is 29 feet wide, so it's compact, but there's a detached shed for yard tools or a workshop. Built in 1915, the bones are solid with a brick foundation, but the exterior is vinyl siding, so maintenance is low. Parking is on the street. You're 1.6 km from downtown St. Catharines, 1 km from the Gatorade Garden City Complex, and less than 2 km from Montebello Park. QEW access is just around the corner. At $390,000, it's below the nearby median of $414,450, and with taxes only $2,007, it's easy on the wallet. Market's moving, with homes selling in around 59 days. This is a solid starter or rental play.
