First-time buyers — this is the one you've been waiting for. This legal Welland duplex offers something that rarely comes up in this market: a real home, with real flexibility, and a built-in strategy for making ownership genuinely affordable from day one. Three ways to make it yours — you choose. Option 1 — Live in the main floor, rent the upper unit. Move into a bright, open-concept two-bedroom unit with a generous kitchen, full 4-piece bath, and spacious living and dining area. The self-contained one-bedroom upper unit — with its own kitchen, living space, and full bath — generates rental income that works against your mortgage every single month. Tenants are currently in place and happy to stay. Income starts immediately. No vacancy period, no guesswork. Option 2 — Live upstairs, rent the main floor. Prefer your own quiet one-bedroom space while maximizing rental return? Move into the upper unit and lease out the larger two-bedroom main floor below. Own the building, let the bigger unit carry the costs, and build equity quietly while your tenant does the heavy lifting. Option 3 — Convert back and own something truly special. Here's the detail that stops buyers in their tracks: this home was originally built as a single-family residence — 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms under one roof. The duplex conversion is straightforward to reverse, and when you do, you end up with one of the most spacious updated homes available in Niagara at this price. Five bedrooms. Two full baths. Over 1,600 sq ft above grade. A full basement with separate exterior access. Updated throughout. At this size, at this price, in this location — it won't last. Separate hydro meters. Two-car private drive. Central air and gas forced-air heat. Minutes to Hwy 406, schools, hospital, shopping, transit, and parks. Flexible possession. Three paths in. One remarkable opportunity. This is what smart first-time buying looks like.

Great experience! Jason was a tremendous help from the beginning when we were looking for a house, all through the purchase and closing of our new home.

Mike was amazing! We felt comfortable from the moment we met him. He was able to sell our condo in 1 week!! In this market, that is nothing short of a miracle. He spent countless hours taking us on showings until we found the perfect place for our family. We finally have space to grow and a backyard...thank you!!!

Working with Branden was an amazing experience, especially as this was my first home. He has great knowledge about first time home buyer programs, and connected me with excellent professionals to create a seamless experience from viewing to close. I would absolutely work with Branden again in the future.

I don’t think there is anything harder than trying to keep 4 adults happy with one house. Regina did it with ease. She was always friendly, patient and kind. She had faith we would find a house to make us all happy, even when I didn’t. If you need a realtor that goes the extra mile, is always there when you call, I highly recommend Regina. Thanks so much Regina for making a stressful time easier.

I do not usually write reviews..however the service provided and the level of genuine concern and care expressed by Branden Nauss deserves to be acknowledged. Branden took time and effort beyond what is required by am agent with our recent purchase. Talked us off the proverbial ledge a few times..dealt with difficult issues (caused by extenuating circumstances surround the property) in a very professional manner. I have known him in a professional capacity for a few years now...but due to his nature and outlook I now consider him a friend!

Branden Nauss helped me hunt for the perfect home for me and went above and beyond in many ways, probably the most important was he kept me on track with my goals and original vision. Plus, we had some great conversations! A great guy who did an amazing job and was a lot of fun to hang out with. His integrity and patience was what held the whole long process together.

We had an amazing experience with Branden Nauss. He helped our family of five find the perfect home when we moved from Toronto to the Niagara area. Later, when we were looking for another home in a different area of Niagara, he was there to help us again. Branden is accommodating, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Whenever someone asks me for a realtor, I always recommend him without hesitation. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients and is amazing at what he does!
