Description
This side-split on a quiet, mature street offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 1,795 sq. ft. of finished living space, with a layout that delivers the space and functionality you're looking for, including a primary bedroom with ensuite and walk-in closet. The main floor has been updated to open the kitchen into the living space, with new flooring, cabinetry, and updated appliances, creating a bright, connected area. From the kitchen, you walk through a mudroom/pantry directly out to a spacious, fully fenced yard with plenty of room for kids, pets, or entertaining. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a private walkout balcony overlooking the yard, while the additional bedrooms each offer their own balcony access, a rare feature in this price range. The fully finished basement adds flexibility with a cozy fireplace and a bonus room suited for a home office or additional living space. With a new roof in 2020 and a layout that blends the feel of a newer home with the space and privacy of an established neighbourhood, this is a standout opportunity in a highly sought-after location.

Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Land Transfer Tax is the Ontario provincial schedule, before any first-time buyer refund; only the City of Toronto charges a municipal land transfer tax on top, so none applies in the areas this site covers (Ontario Ministry of Finance, ontario.ca/document/land-transfer-tax, as of October 28, 2026). Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
