This is one of those homes where the care is immediately felt. Owned and lovingly maintained by the same family since 1979. Every update and repair has been done thoughtfully and at the right time, always with long-term living in mind. A premium metal roof with a lifetime warranty speaks to the quality and foresight behind the home's upkeep. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in a sought-after southwest Oakville neighbourhood, the location offers a wonderful sense of community and timeless appeal. Inside, the home feels bright, open, and welcoming. The main floor flows easily, anchored by an updated white kitchen with new appliances (2024) and a casual breakfast area which is a great spot for a morning coffee. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition, and the bathrooms have been tastefully updated reflecting the consistent care found throughout the home. There are three well-sized bedrooms including a primary bedroom with its own ensuite. The lower level offers warm usable living space with above-grade windows, a gas fireplace, and a dedicated office area that works perfectly for today's lifestyle. A 200-amp service provides added peace of mind. Outside, the property truly sets itself apart. The oversized lot opens to an impressive 75-foot width at the back, something the aerial photo captures beautifully. The backyard is designed for both relaxing and entertaining, with an on-ground saltwater pool, expansive deck, a brand-new hot tub (2025), generous green space and two storage sheds/change room areas. An exposed aggregate driveway and walkways along with a double car garage complete the picture. This is a home that has been deeply cared for, in a location that continues to be one of Oakville's most desirable, a rare combination that's hard to find and even harder to replace.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1253/sqft, this property is priced above the Oakville average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Market Position
At 19 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Oakville 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.
Oakville Premium
Oakville commands premium prices for good reasons: top-rated schools, waterfront access, charming downtown, and affluent community. Homes here hold value exceptionally well during market corrections. The trade-off is higher property taxes and home prices. If schools and lifestyle are priorities, Oakville delivers.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Oakville properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $5,742 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
