Calling all investors and contractors! This is your chance to acquire a value-add handyman special with incredible upside potential just 1.2 kilometers from Fanshawe College campus. This 3+2 bedroom bungalow presents a rare opportunity to force equity through strategic improvements while generating immediate cash flow from existing tenants. The property is currently 80% rented and is priced for your sweat equity - expect to invest in upgrades throughout to unlock its full potential. The lower unit features a kitchen with separate entrance and shared laundry configuration, providing immediate rental income while you execute your value-add strategy. What makes this property particularly exciting is the potential to build a detached Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the rear yard under London's new zoning policies. With proper lot dimensions and coverage calculations, you could potentially add a brand-new 600-800 sq ft standalone dwelling unit behind the existing house, dramatically increasing the property's income potential and overall value. This strategy allows you to maximize your investment by creating a modern, secondary dwelling that commands premium rents while maintaining the existing house. Imagine the possibilities: renovate the main house, optimize the current suite configuration, and add a brand-new detached ADU - creating a true income-generating powerhouse. Being within walking/biking distance to Fanshawe College ensures consistent rental demand year after year, making this an ideal hold-and-build investment. This is a build-your-wealth opportunity for hands-on investors who understand the value of forced appreciation and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves. Perfect for contractors looking to leverage their skills or savvy investors with renovation connections ready to unlock this property's full potential.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $643/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 78 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.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
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.
