Tucked away on a quiet crescent in a mature, tree-lined, family-friendly neighbourhood, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom home is offered by its original owners and showcases true pride of ownership throughout. Thoughtfully updated over the years, the home features brick-to-brick replacement windows (2008), and in the following year the furnace, humidifier and air conditioner were replaced (2009). The roof was reshingled with 30-year CRC Biltmore shingles in 2010 as well as the addition of an Allurex gutter-clean system for added ease of maintenance. The private, fully fenced backyard has interlocking patio stones for the full width of the house and a wall of cedars. It offers exceptional outdoor space, with ample room for a future pool or garden retreat and includes a natural gas hook up for a BBQ. An upgraded 200-amp electrical panel (2012) provides peace of mind and flexibility for future enhancements. Out front, there is an interlock pathway joining the home to asphalt driveway which has plenty of room for vehicles without an intrusive sidewalk dividing it and was resurfaced in 2019. The kitchen, with its vast quartz counter space, is equipped with updated appliances, including fridge, stove and dishwasher (2020), while the owned tankless on-demand water heater was installed in 2022. Other added benefits to the home are granite counters in the washrooms, the direct access to the garage from inside the home, Central Vac and Garage Storage Shelving. This solid, well-cared-for brick home delivers the ideal balance of convenience and tranquility-located close to schools, Markham Stouffville Hospital, and easy access to the 407. This property does not back onto a busy street and is a wonderful opportunity for families seeking comfort, reliability and a peaceful place to call home. Offers Welcome Anytime!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $866/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Markham market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 134 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Markham. 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 Markham 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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Markham properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $5,412 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
