This is a one-owner 1986 split-level with original finishes throughout — oak kitchen cabinets, laminate counters, floral tile bathrooms, and worn carpet in most rooms. Buyers should note that the grey kitchen and virtually staged interiors shown in several photos are CGI renderings, not the current condition.
The layout works well for the price point. The lower level adds a rec room, a separate family room with a brick accent wall and walk-out to the backyard, plus a full unfinished basement with room to develop. The backyard is a genuine asset — fully fenced, deep, and screened by mature cedar hedging, with a water feature and flagstone patio.
The location is hard to beat for families: directly across from Lions Park, which has an outdoor pool, sports fields, and trail access to the Grand River. This is a renovation project at a mid-range price.
