Step inside the original front door with its working push bell and fall in love with soaring ceilings, high baseboards, original wide-plank hand-hewn pine floors, and gracious principal rooms-juxtaposed by a breathtaking primary suite featuring reclaimed Madawaska River log floors, a skylight, yard views, and a walk-in closet roughed-in for a future ensuite. Enjoy main floor laundry, updated windows, a late 2024 furnace, a 2025 roof, extra attic insulation, and a custom-fitted kitchen engineered for efficiency. The crowning jewel of this property is a deep, near 1/4-acre fully fenced lot complete with an in-ground sprinkler system, perennial beds, and shade trees perfect for family and pets, ample parking for 3-5 cars or an RV, plus a separate basement entrance offering outstanding potential. Crucially, enjoy NO municipal heritage designation or restrictive covenants for total ownership freedom in a century home.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $540/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 29 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 Whitby 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.
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 Whitby. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
About Downtown Whitby
I know Downtown Whitby 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: Whitby properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,496 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
