5 Melrose Avenue, Thorold, ON

Welcome to 5 Melrose Avenue in the quiet canal-side community of Port Robinson. Sitting on a spacious 80 x 100 ft lot, this 2 bedroom, 1,230 sqft bungalow offers the kind of flexibility buyers are constantly searching for but rarely find under $300,000. Designed for easy main floor living, the home features an oversized family room that could potentially be converted into a 3rd bedroom, ample parking, and a storage shed for all the extras life seems to collect. Big-ticket updates include the furnace and hot water tank, both replaced in the last 5 years.Now here's where things get interesting. Option one: roll up your sleeves, add your own personal touches over time, and break into the market at an affordable price. Option two: explore with the city the potential to demolish the existing home and sever the property into two 40 x 100 ft building lots. Option three: start fresh and build your dream home just steps from the canal in one of Niagara's hidden gem communities. Port Robinson offers a slower pace of life with small-town charm, a daily ferry crossing, and an ice cream stop locals swear by. Sometimes the best opportunities come wrapped in a little potential. This might just be one of them.
