Just a few blocks from the St. Marys River and a quick walk to the Bushplane Museum, this 1920 four-bedroom, two-bath home sits in a central Sault Ste. Marie spot that's hard to beat. You're less than a kilometre from two school boards and the Soo Museum, and it's about a 15-minute stroll to the Art Gallery or a Tim Hortons run. The place spans 1,555 square feet over two storeys, with the master bedroom up top measuring a solid 12.10 x 9.8 feet - plenty of room for a king bed. Inside, original hardwood floors run through most of the main level. Kitchen, dining area, and main-floor bath were redone in 2012 with quality finishes; the siding and copper plumbing followed in 2013. Shingles from 2018 and a high-efficiency furnace from 2023 mean you can cross those off your list. There's a huge enclosed porch (22 x 6.4 feet) and a bonus room on the main that works as an office or playroom. Main-floor laundry saves you trips up and down stairs. Backyard has a two-tier deck, perfect for summer BBQs, but note the driveway is mutual with the neighbour - so parking's a shared agreement. Full basement is unfinished, just a utility room with the mechanicals, plenty of storage and headroom. Heating's forced air gas, and you've got municipal water and sewer. Annual taxes run about $3,784. With 10 active listings nearby and a median sold price of $352K in the last 30 days, this one at $429,900 sits above the market, but the updates and location are worth a look. It's been well cared for - a century home that's actually been modernized where it counts.
