This classic red brick residence offers both character and charm within 3595 total square feet. Tucked into the sought-after pocket of Catherine, Fleury, and Spruce, it's the kind of place where front porches spark conversations, kids play up and down the street, and families gather for everything from street parties to backyard get-togethers. A new front door welcomes you into a centre hall plan. The contemporary kitchen blends old-world charm with modern functionality for active family life, featuring a Wolf 36-inch gas range, smart in-drawer island lighting, and a Luxor pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. The living room, anchored by a gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling quartz feature wall, pairs beautifully with the original oak trim of this timeless home. The bright sunroom with hardwood floors, a large quartz craft table, and a flexible layout functions easily as a breakfast area, workspace, or family room, surrounded by large new windows that flood the space with natural light. New sliding glass doors lead to a fully fenced, south-facing backyard with a new hardscaped patio. The second-floor landing includes a contemporary live-edge reading/storage bench beneath a large south-facing window and features three spacious bedrooms, each with custom closets. A 5-piece spa-like bathroom completes this level with heated floors and a 4' x 4' glass shower. The third level is a flexible open-concept space currently used as the primary suite but could also be a family room. It includes two skylights, a walk-in closet, a 3-piece ensuite with heated floors and a 4' x 4' shower, built-in oak drawers, a separate storage area, and an office nook. The lower level offers a guest suite with two built-in double closets, a TV/playroom area, and a laundry room. Just steps away are green spaces, parks, a local tennis club, lawn bowling, cafés or restaurants. Walk to Aurora GO Station or nearby public and independent elementary schools or high school.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $730/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.
Market Position
At 18 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 Aurora 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 Aurora.
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: Aurora properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $7,604 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
