This brick bungalow has been in the same family for 67 years, and it shows in the best way. You get that solid, mid-century build with hardwood floors throughout the main living spaces and bedrooms. The living room's big west-facing window floods the space with afternoon light, and the dining room sits right off it, perfect for everyday meals. Kitchen and bath got updates in the last few years, with easy-clean ceramic tile that feels modern without clashing with the home's character. Downstairs is where it gets interesting: the basement is fully framed, just waiting for you to insulate, drywall, and finish it your way. That's a huge bonus for a home at this price. Outside, you've got professional landscaping with flowering gardens front and back, and room to park two cars on the driveway. No garage, though. The lot runs 56 x 90 feet, which is decent for the neighborhood. You're on Gateway Road, close to College Square and Parkway Park, with its rink, wading pool, and ball diamonds. Woodroffe High School is under a kilometer away, and there's a couple of solid Thai and Italian spots within a 15-minute walk. Taxes run about $4,270 a year, and the asking price sits at $649,000, which is a touch above the nearby median of $619K but still a fair deal given the condition and that unfinished basement potential. Central air keeps it cool in summer, and the whole place is move-in ready. Open houses are Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 4 if you want to see it yourself.
