947 Maitland Street is a classic Old North home ready for its next chapter. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom early 20th-century property sits on a mature lot in one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods, just minutes from downtown, Western University, and highly regarded schools. Original character remains throughout, including hardwood floors, wood trim, and stained glass, offering solid bones and a strong foundation for renovation. The main floor features generous living and dining spaces with a wood-burning fireplace, while the kitchen and bathrooms are prime candidates for updating to suit modern tastes. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bathroom maintain a traditional layout, complemented by a walk-up attic with excellent potential for future living space. A separate basement entrance opens the door to in-law or multi-generational possibilities, with a 3-piece bathroom, recreation area, and ample storage already in place. Well-suited for renovators, investors, or buyers looking to add value in a premium location, this is a rare opportunity to customize a character home in Old North and make it your own.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $573/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 109 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for London East. 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 London East 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: London East properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,625 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
