More house, more flexibility and a backyard to actually enjoy. Set on a quiet street in Oshawa's established O'Neill neighbourhood, this renovated 3+1 bedroom bungalow delivers a smart combination of comfortable everyday living and valuable space for the way families live today. The main floor is bright and welcoming, with a traditional layout that gives the living and dining areas their own sense of space, plus an eat-in kitchen designed for real everyday use. Three bedrooms and a full bathroom keep everything you need on one level, making the layout equally appealing for young families, downsizers or anyone looking for fewer stairs. Downstairs is where this home really expands its possibilities. With a separate entrance, second kitchen, full bathroom, additional bedroom, generous living area and flexible den/office space, the finished lower level creates an entirely different layer of functionality that's ideal for extended family, older kids, overnight guests, working from home or simply having more room to spread out. Outside, a 42.5 x 105 ft property gives you a proper fenced backyard, while the detached garage and parking for up to six vehicles solve one of the practical challenges many homes simply can't. The location keeps daily life convenient too, with schools, parks, shopping and transit nearby and easy connections across Oshawa and Durham Region. Renovated, versatile and offering considerably more than meets the eye from the street, 96 Oakes is the kind of home that can adapt as your needs change-without having to move every time life does.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $799/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 16 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.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Oshawa.
