Private, spacious, and full of future potential, this exceptional family home is located on a quiet street in the heart of Old Bowmanville. Set on a large lot backing onto green space and scenic Bowmanville Creek, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and redevelopment possibilities. With a second rear driveway already in place, there is excellent potential for additional backyard units or future expansion, making this a fantastic opportunity for families, investors, or multi-generational living. The property features three separate entrances for added flexibility and convenience. The main double driveway accommodates up to 8 vehicles, while the rear driveway provides parking for 3 more and access to a detached 1.5-car garage equipped with a 220-volt outlet - ideal for hobbyists or electric vehicle owners. Offering approximately 1,900 sq ft of living space, including a two-storey addition completed in 1998, the home features a spacious eat-in kitchen updated in 2022, a huge laundry room, a mudroom, a powder room, a dedicated office, and a bright living room with a walkout to the deck and backyard. An additional versatile room currently used as a gym/media room could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs offers three generous bedrooms and an updated four-piece bathroom, with individual A/C units in each bedroom for personalized comfort. Most windows and exterior doors were updated in 1998, with vinyl siding replaced in 1999; a gas furnace was updated in 2018, and a hot water tank was replaced in 2017. A side entrance provides direct basement access, and a full crawl space lies beneath the addition. The private backyard retreat is surrounded by mature cedars and features a stone patio, 15' pool, protected garden, and a newer shed. All just steps to downtown Bowmanville, schools, parks, shopping, and minutes to Hwy 401. (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).
Rough ballpark only. Pick a down-payment option, then tap any underlined number below to plug in your real numbers — tax, condo fee, insurance, utilities. Total updates live. Confirm with a mortgage broker before writing an offer.
Cost lines (tax, condo, insurance, utilities) are editable inline above. These two control the mortgage payment math.
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. Suite rental income depends on permits, market rent, and vacancy — confirm with a property manager. Always validate your scenario with a mortgage broker and your insurance provider before writing an offer.
