Carry the property while you plan. Build when you're ready. Excellent redevelopment opportunity in Cambridge with concept plans available for four freehold townhomes. Located within Cambridge's updated R2 zoning framework, supporting low-density residential development. Proposed plans feature four freehold townhomes, each approximately 1,783 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, open-concept layouts, attached garages, and walk-out basement potential. The property sits on an 80 ft x 110 ft lot and backs onto a laneway, offering strong flexibility for site design and access. Survey, site plan, and architectural drawings available. An existing 5-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow is currently set up as a 2-unit property with a walk-out basement and separate access.

Strong demand for freehold housing in the area makes this a compelling opportunity for builders and investors.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $636/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 86 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Cambridge. 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 Cambridge 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.
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 Cambridge.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Cambridge properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,916 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
