Its own entrance, down the side

The lower level

Its own entrance, down the side

The lower level is finished and walks out, reached by its own steps at the side of the house rather than through the main floor.

Buyers should confirm any intended second-suite use with the City of Toronto.

Schools & catchmentAssigned attendance-boundary schools, with EQAO results

Moe’s take

A bungalow with its own door down the side to a finished lower level, five parking spaces and a patio under a pergola. It gives a family a second space downstairs without anyone having to share a staircase.

Talk to Team Asgarian about your options

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.

Let's connect

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.

Investor snapshot

Rental yield
Estimate$1,450/mo
$17,400Gross annual rent
1.1%Cap rate after taxes and upkeep

Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.

Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.

Talk about the numbers

Estimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
