Tucked away in a quiet close and conveniently located near schools, transit, and shopping, this beautifully upgraded home delivers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and long-term value. With nearly every major update already completed, this is truly a move-in-ready property that stands out from the rest. The exterior has been extensively renovated with brand-new siding, updated windows, newer shingles within the last five years, a new driveway, and an eye-catching stamped concrete front walkway that adds incredible curb appeal. The front of the home was thoughtfully extended by two feet and rebuilt using solid 2 x 6 construction with premium spray-foam insulation, offering enhanced efficiency, durability, and year-round comfort.Step inside and you’re welcomed by a stunning modern kitchen designed to impress, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances. Smart home upgrades throughout include motion-activated lighting on the staircase and in the bathroom, adding both convenience and a touch of luxury. The updated bathroom includes in-floor heat, a stylish new vanity, upgraded fixtures, and a new countertop. The main floor offers three spacious bedrooms and a warm, inviting living room centered around a charming wood-burning fireplace making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Downstairs, the fully functional basement provides even more living space with a large family room featuring a cozy woodstove, a 3-piece bathroom, laundry area, bedroom or office space, and additional room ready for your own personal touch. Outside, the generous-sized mature yard offers endless space for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The oversized single garage already has major groundwork completed, including new concrete flooring, upgraded electrical, and in-floor heat plumbing installed and ready for future connection, an incredible bonus with endless potential. This is the kind of home that rarely comes available: thought fully renovated, packed with upgrades, and located in a fantastic family-friendly neighbourhood. (id:65958)

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).
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.
