There's a reason some homes stay in the same family for generations. Owned by the same family since 1968, this cherished home has been the backdrop to birthdays, holiday dinners, backyard gatherings, and the everyday moments that quietly become lifelong memories. Lovingly maintained throughout the years, it offers a rare opportunity to put down roots in Pickering's sought-after West Shore community. Known for its strong sense of community, proximity to the waterfront, parks, trails, schools, and convenient access to the GO Train and Highway 401, West Shore is a neighbourhood where families come to stay. Set on a generous 50 x 100-foot lot, the home offers room to grow and possibilities for the future. Sunlight pours through the large picture window in the living and dining room, creating a warm and inviting place to gather. The eat-in kitchen has served as the heart of the home for generations, while three well-sized bedrooms provide comfort and practicality for everyday living. Meticulously maintained throughout the years, the home reflects a level of pride of ownership that is increasingly uncommon. Whether you choose to enjoy its enduring character or thoughtfully make it your own over time, the foundation is already here. The finished lower level expands the living space with a large recreation room featuring a gas fireplace, an additional kitchen, bedroom, and separate entrance. Ideal for multi-generational living, extended family, guests, or future possibilities, the layout offers flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Outside, the fully fenced backyard has been thoughtfully tended over the years, with fruit trees, established gardens, herbs, and plenty of green space to enjoy. It's the kind of yard that invites gardening, play, and summer evenings spent outdoors. The best homes aren't defined by how long they've stood, but by the lives lived within them. Now, it's ready to welcome its next chapter.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $726/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 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.
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 Pickering. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
About West Shore
I know West Shore 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: Pickering properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $3,329 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
