Some lots just make sense. This one makes a statement. Measuring 82 x 145 feet and flanked by custom-built homes on one of Brooklin's most sought-after streets, this is the kind of property serious buyers quietly wait for. Builder can provide a custom built home or do your own thing. A mature, established neighbourhood. A generous, fully fenced lot. And a location that checks every box before you've even drawn up plans. The existing bungalow - 1,107 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, metal roof, detached garage - is a solid starting point for a thoughtful renovation, or simply a placeholder while you design something extraordinary from the ground up. Either way, the lot does the heavy lifting. Top-rated schools, parks, dining, and seamless access to Highways 407 and 412 put everything within easy reach - without sacrificing the quiet, community feel that makes Brooklin such a compelling place to plant roots. Lots of this calibre, on streets of this reputation, don't surface often. When they do, they don't wait.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $800/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 57 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.
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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Whitby properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $3,666 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
