416 First Avenue W, North Bay

Thinking about buying your first home but worried about the mortgage? This could be a great opportunity to make homeownership more affordable. Priced at just $309,900, this charming 1920s legal duplex offers a two-bedroom, one-bathroom main-floor living space with a family room and kitchen, plus a separate upper-level two-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. The idea is simple: live comfortably on the main floor and rent out the upper unit to help offset your mortgage payment. The property also offers a large, mostly unfinished basement with plenty of space for storage or future possibilities. For a first-time buyer, this is more than just a house-it's an opportunity to have a mortgage helper, build equity, and potentially make the cost of owning a home much more manageable than renting. At $309,900, this is definitely one worth taking a closer look at.
