ONE ADDRESS. TWO BUILDINGS. LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES. Some homes offer extra space. 17 Athlone Road offers an entirely different way to live, work and dream. Set on a half-acre lot along a quiet dead-end street, just 5 minutes from Highway 401, this one-of-a-kind property combines a spacious 4+2 bedroom home with an extraordinary 1,450 sqft fully serviced detached building. Inside the main residence, nearly 3,000sqft of living space provides room for every stage of life. The main level flows from a generous sunken living room into the kitchen, breakfast area and sitting room, while a versatile bedroom could just as easily become a private office. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms include an impressive 24-foot primary retreat with a walk-in closet and ensuite. The finished lower level adds 2 more bedrooms, a 3pc bathroom, offering the flexibility to create guest rooms, a recreation area or additional family living space. Travertine tile, engineered hardwood, marble countertops, a fireplace and extensive 2011 renovations reflect the care invested throughout, while the furnace was replaced in 2022 and the stainless-steel refrigerator and gas stove are newer. Yet the true story of this property begins beyond the main home. Heated, cooled and serviced with water, sewer, an air exchanger, a bathroom and a kitchenette, the detached building is currently arranged with a large epoxy-floored gym, theatre room, office and rear garage/storage area. Imagine it as a fitness studio, home theatre, showroom, creative workspace, contractor headquarters, collector-car retreat or potential in-law accommodation; the possibilities are as unique as the next owner. An attached double garage, expansive driveway, full sprinkler system, mature landscaping and a private backyard gazebo complete a property designed for those who need more than an ordinary home. Some rooms are virtually staged.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $600/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 19 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 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 6 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.
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.
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 $5,000 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
