This 1.5-storey brick house on Rankin Avenue is a five-minute walk to campus, and you'll catch the riverfront in about ten. The lot's 30 by 105 feet, with both front and side driveways, so parking's never a hassle. Inside, there are five bedrooms and two baths, with four up and one in the basement, making it a solid option for a family or a rental where every room earns. Hardwood floors run through most of the main level, and the kitchen has ceramic tile. It's vacant and move-in ready, and the new AC unit gets installed before you take possession. You're a short stroll to Wyandotte's restaurants and bars, like Dominion House, and a couple of schools are within 1.3 km. At $314,900, it's below the nearby median of $399k, and similar homes have been selling in about 54 days. This one's got good bones, but the block foundation and vinyl/aluminum exterior are typical for the area, so don't expect a full renovation. If you're looking for a rental income property, the investment score here is a perfect 10, so you know the numbers work.
