This well maintained 2 storey townhome is an excellent opportunity for investors, offering a tenant already in place with a lease secured through June 2027. Situated close to shopping, restaurants, schools, across the street from a park, and steps to walking trails and other everyday amenities, this property is located in a convenient, family friendly location and is a great addition to any investment portfolio. Step inside to a bright and functional main floor featuring a spacious front living room that flows through to the kitchen and dining areas.

The adjoining dining area provides access to the rear deck and fully fenced backyard, while a convenient 2 pce powder room completes the main level. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms share the well appointed 4 pce bathroom. The unfinished basement offers excellent potential for future development, with room to add additional living space, a bedroom, or family room if desired. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers plenty of green space along with a raised deck for outdoor enjoyment. A large swing gate at the rear fence provides access to a designated RV or boat parking area, offering added flexibility, and the attached garage and front driveway provide ample off street parking. Whether you're looking to add to your investment portfolio or purchase a property with a tenant already in place, this is an excellent turn key opportunity! Current lease is $1695/mo and tenant pays all utilities. (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.
