Welcome to this spacious family home in Watson! Originally built in 1942 with a thoughtful addition completed in 1995, this property offers plenty of space both inside and out. Situated on a large corner lot, there is ample room to build a garage and the option for driveway access from two sides of the property. A front parking pad provides convenient off-street parking for two vehicles. Inside, you’ll find a functional layout designed for family living. The back entrance features a laundry area and leads into a kitchen with an abundance of cupboards and all appliances included. The dining room offers a cozy sitting bench, perfect for family meals and gatherings. The den used as the primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor and includes a 3-piece ensuite. Also on the main level is a bright office with a large window and front entrance access, a spacious living room with a back door to the yard, and a convenient 2-piece bathroom. Upstairs, there are two separate stairway access points leading to four bedrooms, a den, and a full bathroom — providing plenty of room for a growing family, guests, or hobby spaces. Step outside to enjoy the generous green space, patio area, and two storage sheds. This home has seen several updates over the years, including shingles approximately 10–12 years ago, some windows replaced about 7 years ago, central air installed 4 years ago, some updated flooring approximately 8 years ago, a furnace installed in 2013, and a water heater replaced in 2017. With its flexible layout, large yard, and family-friendly features, this property offers exceptional potential in a welcoming community. (id:65958)

Comparable sales
Ask for 3–5 recent solds within ~1 km and the same beds/baths so the list price has context.
Property condition
Roof age, furnace age, hot-water tank age, electrical panel size, windows. Cosmetic vs structural.
Zoning
Confirm zoning matches your intent (single-family vs duplex vs secondary suite vs commercial).
Suite legality / potential
If suited or being marketed as suited: confirm permits, separate entrance, ceiling height, egress windows.
Monthly carrying cost
Mortgage + property tax + insurance + condo fee (if any) + utilities. Compare to your max budget.
Property taxes
Confirm the annual tax amount on the current assessment — and whether a reassessment is pending.
Insurance estimate
Get a same-day quote. Older homes, knob-and-tube wiring, polybutylene plumbing, flood plains all change the number.
Commute
Drive it (or transit it) at the actual time of day you'd commute. Map ETA lies during peak hours.
Deposit and financing conditions
Deposit size, financing condition window, condition removal date, possession date — all negotiable.
Inspection considerations
Budget for a home inspector ($500–700) and any specialty inspections (sewer scope, mould, asbestos for pre-1990 builds).
Pick a down payment and tap any underlined number to edit. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Monthly carrying costs (shared)
Approximation only. CMHC default insurance is included when down payment is under 20%. Property tax and condo fees come from MLS when listed and may not reflect the current billing year. Accelerated bi-weekly frequency reduces total interest paid vs. monthly — confirm with a broker. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy. Always validate with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
