Is it safe to say that some listings represent an interesting combination of ideal features for an entry-level home, and found at a reasonable price.
My listing at 792 Kensington in Woodstock (67-205; Asking: $168,900) fits the bill or meets the criteria.
The 1.75-storey red-brown brick home has 4 bedrooms -- 2 on second floor and 2 on main floor. However, with today's lifestyle and 'wants and needs' requiring an at-home office, certainly 1 of those 4 bedrooms is ideal for just that purpose.
The house has nice hardwood flooring in living room and both main-floor bedrooms. The 4pc bathroom is on the main floor.
The eat-in kitchen is large enough to be declared that -- an eat-in kitchen. A little smallish and a little dated, but a functional kitchen for a first-time buyer. The owners will leave 3 appliances. Keep in mind the price range here: $168,900.
With a year-round sunroom at the back of the house, this space would be ideal as a dining area as it's too small to be a TV room, and at the same time does feature a patio door to the wood deck.
By the way, did I mention the wood deck wraps all the way around a well-maintained above-ground pool. Spacious deck with enough space for table with umbrella, chairs and barbecue.
The home's mechanicals are recently improved with a new (oil) furnace and tank in 2005, and 100-amp breaker box in 2004. There is central air too! The roof looks brand new, but is really 3 years young.
The lot is 122' feet. There is backyard, therefore, beyond the pool and raised deck.
I certainly can't forget to mention the garage. It's a detached 1-car garage at the end of an asphalt driveway that starts out as double-wide.
If you do not know Kensington, you're likely thinking this house is found on a busy street. Kensington is actually a quiet tree-lined destination of consistent homes -- all about 55 years old.
Back inside, the owner recently renovated the basement, so it's all like-new drywall. A great playroom for a young family or an entertainment room to watch the Blue Jays struggle for a wildcard berth. Next to the recroom is a roughed-in bathroom. Buy the fixtures and you could have a second 4pc bathroom.
After my casual and colloquial (fancy word for every-day speak) description, I'm sure you would want to view this home. It's vacant, so you could move in and splash this summer.
Call me anytime.
