Built for the next chapter—not the next project—this custom-built bungalow in Vista Close offers the easy, low-maintenance lifestyle many downsizers are searching for. Located in a quiet adult community (40+), this immaculate 1,296 Sq.Ft. home offers high-end finishes, 3 Bedrooms plus an Office, 2.5 Bathrooms, a fully developed basement, and an oversized heated Double Garage. The HOA takes care of lawn care and snow removal, making everyday living simpler and more enjoyable. This home is immaculate and well maintained, with pride of ownership evident from the moment you step inside the spacious front entryway. The main floor was designed for comfortable day-to-day living with everything you need on one level. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main living areas, while the Kitchen features granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a corner pantry, and a large island with added storage, all open to the Dining and Living areas. The cozy Living Room is centred around a gas fireplace, while the spacious Primary Suite includes a walk-in closet and 4-piece Ensuite with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. An Office near the front entry, a large main floor Laundry, a half Bath, and plenty of storage throughout complete the layout. The fully developed lower level adds excellent flexibility with a bar area featuring a beverage fridge and room for a games table, a large Family Room, and a spacious Rec Room with a built-in 3-person sauna that could also work well as a gym, theatre room, or hobby space. Two additional Bedrooms—including one with a walk-in closet—and a full 4-piece Bathroom provide comfortable space for guests or visiting family. New flooring was installed on this level last year. Outside, the covered vinyl deck, gas BBQ hookup, hanging lights, artificial turf, underground sprinklers, fenced yard, and moveable shed create a private outdoor space with virtually no upkeep required. Additional features include Central A/C, hot water on demand, reverse osmosis with fridge hookup, Central Vacuum, Gemstone lighting, solar panels with owner rebates, yearly furnace and hot water tank servicing, and 240V power in the garage along with two storage hoists. Located in desirable Vanier Woods close to walking trails, green spaces, playgrounds, transit, shopping, restaurants, and quick access to 30 Avenue and 19 Street, this home offers a comfortable, connected lifestyle with the convenience of low-maintenance living.

10-item due-diligence checklist. We can pre-flight most of these for you on a CMA call.
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).
