BEAUTIFUL CHARM. UNMATCHED LOCATION. A truly distinctive Pickering property where timeless character, thoughtful craftsmanship and a remarkable transformation come together. Originally a bungalow, this home was beautifully renovated into a stunning two-storey residence in 1987, creating a one-of-a-kind home offering 2,104 sq. ft. of living space. Set on an impressive 52' x 190' lot, this residence showcases striking stonework, Tudor-inspired architecture, dramatic rooflines, exposed beams and exceptional architectural details throughout. The inviting main level features rich hardwood floors, custom millwork and a spacious dining room highlighted by elegant, oversized windows. The custom kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, granite countertops and generous workspace, making it both functional and inviting. The upper level continues the home's unique charm with two well-appointed bedrooms, including a primary retreat with direct access to a private balcony - the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Adding incredible versatility to the property is the separate studio space, ideal for extended family, visiting guests, a home office, or art studio. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature mature trees, gardens and multiple outdoor living areas, creating a private setting rarely found in the heart of Pickering. Ideally located close to Frenchman's Bay, Lake Ontario, waterfront trails, parks, restaurants and amenities, this remarkable home offers a rare combination of architectural character, privacy and flexibility. A home with a story, a sense of place and a level of craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $550/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.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Pickering 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.
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.

Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Pickering properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,583 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
