Enjoy true privacy on this premium lot, backing onto a lush conservation area with mature trees and no rear neighbours in sight. This beautifully designed 2 storey home offers 3 Bedrooms and 2.5 Baths, combining everyday functionality with thoughtful style throughout. Tucked into Summerside, a welcoming pocket of South East London known for its family oriented charm, the location pairs perfectly with the home's inviting layout. The main floor opens up beautifully with 9' ceilings, an abundance of pot lights, a mix of engineered hardwood and ceramic tile, a handy 2pc powder room, and a chef inspired kitchen boasting an island along with generous cabinet and storage space. A spacious combined living and dining area makes entertaining easy, highlighted by an oversized patio door that fills the room with sunlight and opens directly to the backyard. Head upstairs to find a Primary Bedroom retreat with its own 3pc en-suite, a walk-in closet, and laundry conveniently close by. Two more well sized Bedrooms and a full 4pc Bath round out the sleeping quarters, while a flexible loft style space upstairs can easily become a home office, media room, playroom, or peaceful hideaway. Parking is never an issue with an attached garage paired with a 2 car driveway. Built to Energy Star standards, the home is designed to be efficient and better for the environment. The surrounding Summerside community offers parks, schools, and trails close by, along with quick access to shopping, hospitals, and major routes such as the 401 and Veterans Memorial Parkway.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,700/mo, this is priced below the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in London South. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 47 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for London South. 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 London South 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.
