Welcome to desirable Brooklin! This spacious and beautifully upgraded Melody "McQuay" model offers over 2,900 sq ft of living space on a rare extra-deep 150 ft lot, giving you a backyard with room to breathe that you simply won't find on newer subdivision lots. The freshly updated kitchen features quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a centre island and backsplash, and overlooks a warm family room with hardwood floors, gas fireplace and soaring cathedral ceiling. Pot lights and Hunter Douglas blinds throughout, plus an elegant oak staircase. Upstairs, the primary retreat has plenty of windows with California shutters and a 5-piece "spa" ensuite with quartz counters, heated floor, custom double-sink vanity and glass shower. The 2nd bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and walk-out to a private balcony. Step outside to a private backyard with custom deck, pergola, hot tub and BBQ (hot tub and BBQ available for tenant use in "as is" condition, tenant to maintain). Interlocked driveway and porch, updated roof, garage door and electrical panel. All this in one of Durham's most sought-after communities, steps to Brooklin's charming downtown shops and cafés, top-rated schools, parks and trails, with quick access to the 407 and 412. Best of all, you're minutes from the brand-new Fieldgate Sports Complex, just opened September 2026, with its 25-metre pool, twin-pad arena, gymnasium, indoor walking track, pickleball and tennis courts, skatepark and more. A wonderful place to call home. Move in and enjoy!

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fairly Priced Rental
At $3,950/mo, this is in line with typical 4-bedroom rents in Whitby (~$4,200/mo). The rent itself may be firm, but there's often room to negotiate on lease terms — move-in date, appliance inclusions, or parking.
Market Position
At 20 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.
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.
