Some homes just feel right the moment you walk in - and 43 McCallum Ave is one of them. Tucked into the heart of the sweet community of Birch Hills, this charming 1½-storey sits directly across from the school, making morning routines a breeze and the neighbourhood buzz a daily backdrop. At 1,040 sq ft, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been thoughtfully updated and is ready to welcome its next chapter. Step into the warm, tongue-and-groove foyer (complete with a cozy wood-burning stove) and you'll immediately feel the character this home carries. The main floor flows easily through a bright living room, a generous dining room, and a clean, white kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, dark countertops, and all the appliances included. Off the back door, a practical mudroom and laundry room keep everyday life organized, plus there's a huge pantry and storage area off the basement stairs - perfect for loading grocery hauls in. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each feature smartly crafted closet space, and share a stylish bathroom with a large vanity, built-in shelving, and a glass shower. The freshly painted main floor bathroom features a tiled walk-in shower, soaker tub, and glass block window (more spa than starter home!). Outside, the fully fenced backyard is made for summer. A large deck steps down to a patio with a fire pit, there's a storage shed, and yes - a hot tub is included. Fire it back up and make it yours. Birch Hills is one of those towns that still feels like a real community. Good schools, good neighbours, good life. Don't wait on this one. (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.
We'll reply by text within a few hours. Comparable sales, condition flags, things worth checking — sent before you book a showing.
