Tucked away on a quiet street, this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom + 1, 2-bathroom home has an easy, comfortable flow that makes sense. Freshly painted throughout, the main floor connects the kitchen, dining room & living room effortlessly, perfect for everything from quick weekday dinners to hosting friends and family on the weekend. Gorgeous baseboards and plenty of built-ins add character and charm, while the abundance of storage keeps everyday life organized. The oversized primary bedroom is a true retreat, with plenty of windows bringing in natural light.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $636/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 21 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 Oshawa 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 Oshawa. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
About Centennial
I know Centennial 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: Oshawa properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,916 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
