Something like this:
That house was for sale last summer for a mere $89,900 in a city of 19,000 people, just 2 hours north-east from where I live. Unfortunately (for me) housing in Saskatchewan is worth way more now.

Basically a normal 1960s or newer 3 bedroom bungalow. Nicely wooded yard, biking distance to work and all amenities would make me happy.
