Nestled in one of Whitby's most coveted, established enclaves-Queen's Common-this exceptional residence offers an elegant blend of timeless design, refined updates, and a breathtaking ravine setting. Moments to parks, top-rated schools, trails, shops, dining, transit, and seamless access to Hwy 401 and 412. Set on a premium pie-shaped lot with Western exposure, this home backs onto a tranquil wooded ravine, creating a private, resort-like backdrop. A stone walkway leads to a welcoming covered porch and striking leaded glass entry. A grand foyer with porcelain flooring and a sweeping staircase sets the tone for the home's sophisticated interiors.

A beautifully appointed 4-piece bath with walk-in whirlpool tub and hand-held shower adds both comfort and convenience. The formal dining room is perfect for hosting, while the renovated cherry kitchen is a true showpiece, complete with granite countertops, stainless steel backsplash, centre island, under-cabinet lighting, soft-close cabinetry, and premium stainless steel appliances including a gas range. The sun-filled breakfast area overlooks the ravine and offers a walk-out to an expansive two-tiered deck with pergola, flagstone patio, and landscaped gardens framed by mature trees. The kitchen seamlessly opens to a warm and inviting family room anchored by a gas fireplace-ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Main floor laundry with direct garage access adds practicality.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $429/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 63 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Whitby. 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 Whitby 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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Whitby. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
