This raised bungalow on Glen Castle Drive packs a lot into 1,144 square feet. Upstairs there are 3 beds and a full bath, while the finished basement adds another bedroom, a 3-piece bath, and a recreation room with its own entrance. The layout gives you options, not just space. That separate basement entry is huge if you're thinking about an in-law suite or rental income. You'll need to budget for updates, since it's sold as-is, but the bones are solid. The main floor has a big living room with a picture window that actually brightens the space, and the eat-in kitchen is workable. The basement windows are standard size, so you're not getting a walkout, but the rec room is decent. Outside, there's a fully fenced yard and a carport for parking. Location is hard to beat, you're near the bottom of the Stoney Creek Escarpment, so trails are literally minutes away. Schools are close, too, with Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School just a kilometre down the road. For $679,000, you're below the $787K median around here, and the investment score sits at 81 out of 100. It's a practical choice for someone ready to put in some sweat equity.
