Welcome to this beautifully updated, move-in ready home offering the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and functionality. From the moment you arrive, you'll be impressed by the inviting curb appeal, highlighted by a newly built front porch and portico (2022) that adds both character and style. Step inside to a bright and welcoming living room, filled with natural light from a large south-facing window and complemented by newer engineered hardwood flooring and a calm, modern aesthetic throughout. The main floor features two versatile bedrooms. The spacious, updated eat-in kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and a comfortable dining area for family gatherings. Two fully renovated bathrooms (2018-2022) add a touch of luxury and convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with classic hardwood flooring, while the fully finished lower level expands your living space with a large family room featuring durable laminate flooring-perfect for movie nights or a kids' play area-along with a fifth bedroom complete with an egress window (2019). Step outside from the kitchen to your private backyard retreat, where a newer deck (2020) provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining under the shade of a mature tree. The fully fenced yard offers plenty of space for kids and pets to enjoy. For hobbyists or those in need of extra workspace, the impressive 22.4' x 19.4' detached workshop with hydro is a rare and valuable bonus. Additional updates include a newer furnace and central air (2017), roof and eaves (2017-2023), and windows (2017-2022), ensuring peace of mind for years to come. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated home in a family-friendly setting-don't miss it! (Some photos are virtually staged)

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $523/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 64 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for London East. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in London East are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in London East.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: London East properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,396 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
