In a market where detached options at this level are increasingly scarce, this home delivers what matters most: sunlight, parking, and functional family space without compromise. Set on a 20.33 x 135 ft lot with a south-facing rear yard, it offers over 2,000 sq ft of total living space across three well-defined levels. The main floor unfolds with intention. A large-scale renovation in 2021 upgraded the kitchen and key interior finishes, centering the space around a substantial island ideal for the home chef and equally suited to gathering. It opens seamlessly into the rear family room with walk-out to the garden, while the separate living and dining room allows flexibility for daily life and larger occasions alike. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms include a primary suite with a dedicated ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The additional bedrooms are served by a hall bathroom of their own, a meaningful distinction in this segment. A skylight above the upper landing introduces natural light that can be felt upon entry, drawing sunlight down the staircase and into the interior throughout the day. The finished lower level provides further versatility with a recreation room, four-piece bathroom, laundry, and direct garage access. Built in 1986 and upgraded where it counts, with four-car parking and side yard access, this is a measured entry into long-term detached ownership - well suited to the next chapter.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1087/sqft, this property is priced in line with current York market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 172 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for York. 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 York 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.
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.
