100 John Street, Brockville

Dreaming of ditching rent cheques and building equity in a walk-everywhere neighbourhood loaded with history and small-town charm? 100 John Street is the perfect first-home launchpad; it's move-in ready and budget-friendly, with room to grow your finances. In Old Brockville, where Canada's first railway tunnel meets riverport roots, you're a lattés walk from indie cafés, the crafters market and ship watching on the St. Lawrence. Errands shrink to a downtown stroll, and VIA Rail is close enough to make Ottawa, Montreal, or Toronto day trips feel attainable. Inside, the updates are done: refreshed kitchen and bath, stainless appliances (about five years young), washer and dryer (bought new two years ago), new vinyl siding and on-demand hot water in 2023, roof shingles in 2020, and a high-efficiency gas furnace from 2015 that's been serviced yearly. A newer front door, foyer window, fresh paint and a rebuilt staircase mean your budget can focus on furniture instead of surprise repairs. Spaces are cozy, not cramped, think bright windows, an eat-in kitchen begging for Sunday pancakes, and a backyard with ample downtown parking and a fully-fenced area for your garden, a barbecue, your active kiddos and (if you're feeling adventurous) a cute rescue pup. The wildcard is the 2015 detached garage: a real workshop with gas heat, water line, full electrical and a loft already flirting with its own entrance. Use it as a studio, gear bunker, teen hang-out or explore finishing it as an accessory apartment or Airbnb (check city rules). That extra income could shave years off your mortgage while giving you space to grow. Unpack on Friday, host friends Saturday, and by Sunday you're sketching plans for that loft. Ready to swap someday for keys in hand? Book your showing, and feel how easily downtown home ownership can fit your life on the very charming John Street in beautiful Brockville!
