Welcome to 820 Scotia Street, Melville! This beautifully maintained 3 bed, 2 bath home sits on an oversized lot and offers great space, thoughtful updates, and a functional layout. Step inside to a bright, updated kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a pantry, and newer appliances (2024). A large bay window fills the space with natural light and offers views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. The main floor also includes a spacious, spa-like bathroom with a jetted tub, convenient laundry including washer and dryer, two bedrooms, and a comfortable living room. The fully developed basement (updated in 2018) adds even more living space with a cozy family room complete with a wood-burning fireplace, an additional bedroom, a 3-pc bath with shower, and a utility room. Outside, the backyard is a standout—beautifully landscaped with a stone patio, firepit area, gazebo, garden, and greenhouse—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. You’ll also appreciate the attached 1.5 car garage (22x24), along with a double gravel drive at the back and a huge shed for extra storage. Exterior soffit lighting adds great curb appeal and ambiance in the evenings. Notable updates over the years include siding, exterior doors, windows, and shingles—making this a solid, move-in ready option in a great location. (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.
