The action
This raised bungalow was built about 50 years ago on a 60-by-124-foot lot with a West Coast architectural style.Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.
Some visitors to this three-bedroom bungalow shared their concerns about living across from several mid-rise rental towers, although it did compare well against another competing property that backed onto the 401 highway. A first offer from one buyer failed to complete, but a second offer was accepted after negotiations brought it to within $75,000 of the asking price, though that was just shy of the price paid for the property in 2017.
“Its strength is its location in a good school zone,” said agent Bill Thom. “But it’s across from a few rental buildings and a TTC bus route on that road.
“The other [bungalow] had a similar price, but another problem; backing onto the fence of the 401.
“This was the lesser of two evils.”
What they got
On the main level, the kitchen and dining room combined nearly equal the size of an adjacent living room with upgraded wood flooring, pot lights, and sliding doors to a deck and south-facing yard.Re/Max Realtron Realty Inc.

An attached garage faces the street is and a flight of steps winds up to a path to the front door.

The rear wing has an open den, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The basement has its own front entrance and two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and kitchen.
The agent’s take
“It’s definitely not your cookie cutter home, with a big living room, and even the window design was not the same as your typical subdivision quality,” Mr. Thom said.
“The house is in excellent shape, and the basement has a separate entrance with a kitchen, so it was ideal for one family or a family in need of income.”
