Price: $829,900
Neighbourhood: Lawfield - East Hamilton Mountain
Features: This turnkey, newly renovated, four-bedroom, three-bathroom bungalow is a rarity on the east Mountain, according to Stefanie Di Francesco, a real estate broker with RE/MAX Escarpment Realty.
Everything has been updated," including the natural light-filled kitchen, equipped with a large granite island perfect for brunch, along with a separate dining area, Di Francesco said.
Located on the east Mountain, the 1210-square-foot open-concept home is a few blocks from Lime Ridge Mall and close to schools and the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway.
It's a beautiful neighbourhood."
The main-floor bedrooms feature double-pane windows, while the washroom is home to a claw-foot bathtub, a glass shower and a double-sink countertop.
Outside of the home is a resort-style" backyard with an in-ground, heated saltwater pool, concrete and a gazebo perfect for the warmer months.
After a summer swim, the new homeowners can take advantage of a mud room at the side of the house featuring a bathroom and vinyl flooring, Di Francesco said.
Looking for a pandemic-era work-from-home setup? The newly finished basement hosts a nook with enough room for a dual-monitor desk and office chair.
Why it is priced this way: At $829,900, the home is priced slightly below market value, Di Francesco said.
The current owners have already purchased another property, and they want it sold in a timely manner," she added.
With Christmas around the corner, Di Francesco doesn't want it sitting on the market for too long," though it's unlikely it will, considering low inventory levels and high demand for homes in the area.
In this market, many buyers are coming from out of town, Di Francesco said - some who may have lived in a condo previously and are unfamiliar with the world of home upgrades.
This home is truly special in the sense that there is nothing to do but move in, unpack and enjoy."
