Turnkey has never had this much character! No renovation budget is needed - over $300,000 has been spent on upgrades. Extensively renovated from top to bottom, inside and out with an artistic eye, this distinctive 2.5-storey home combines significant upgrades with personalty, craftsmanship and unexpected details at every turn. Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and beautifully finished living space on every level, this home is anything but cookie-cutter.The main floor welcomes you with warm wood flooring, pot lights and a beautiful coffered ceiling in the living room. At the heart of the home is a generous custom kitchen, where a striking onyx backsplash adds a touch of elegance and a chalkboard wall brings a playful dose of personality. The second floor features two bedrooms and a beautifully finished 5-piece bathroom with double sinks and a custom shower. Continue upstairs to the home's true showstopper: a sun-filled loft-style primary bedroom. Three windows, pot lights and a generous layout create a bright, private retreat with plenty of room for a sitting area, dressing space or office nook. The newly finished basement (2026) adds even more living space and vintage charm with a beautiful clawfoot tub. Extensive updates include new electrical, plumbing and pot lights (2019), as well as a new front porch and flooring (2026), plus a durable metal roof. Outside, lush gardens and stamped concrete create a charming, low-maintenance outdoor setting, while a barn-style storage shed has been playfully transformed into the home's own "General Store," complete with its own electrical panel. From the coffered ceiling and onyx backsplash to the chalkboard wall, sun-drenched loft, clawfoot tub and General Store out back, this is a home where thoughtful renovation meets artistic expression. Warm, creative and anything but ordinary, this is a home with a little more soul.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $466/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 27 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 Oshawa 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.
