A little more light, a little more privacy and no homes directly behind - this North Oshawa end unit has some of the best perks in the development. With additional side windows bringing in tons of natural light and a backyard overlooking the neighbouring school grounds and open green space, this 3+1 bedroom, 3+1 bathroom townhouse feels bright, open and surprisingly private. Inside, the home has been exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully updated. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, all approximately five years old or newer, with some replaced within the past month. Brand-new carpet has just been installed on the stairs and throughout the second level, giving the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel. Direct inside access from the garage is another everyday convenience you'll appreciate year-round. Upstairs offers three comfortable bedrooms, while the partially finished basement adds even more usable living space with an additional bedroom and bathroom - perfect for guests, teenagers, a home office or simply some extra room to spread out. Outside, that open backdrop really sets this unit apart. Instead of looking directly into another row of homes, the backyard enjoys an open view across the school grounds, creating a greater sense of space and breathing room that can be hard to find in townhouse living. The condo development itself has also been exceptionally well cared for, with ongoing exterior improvements and maintenance including updated roofing, exterior painting and lawn care. The driveway is currently being repaved, adding another fresh update to the property. All of this in a fantastic North Oshawa neighbourhood close to schools, parks, shopping, restaurants, transit and everyday amenities, with convenient access to major commuter routes. End unit, extra windows, no homes behind, plenty of space and the big-ticket exterior maintenance taken care of - this one has a lot going for it.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $532/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.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. The $446/month fees should cover building insurance, common elements, and reserve contributions.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Oshawa. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
About Samac
I know Samac well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Oshawa properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,662 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
