Solid brick bungalow tastefully updated in 2022, offering a bright open layout on a wide 70-ft lot.

Renovations completed in 2022 include engineered hardwood flooring, pot lighting, modern glass and stainless-steel railings, fresh paint, and solid wood crown moulding and trim.The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances and opens directly to a generous deck, making outdoor dining and gatherings easy. The main floor currently features two well-sized bedrooms (previously three and can easily be returned to its original layout) along with a3-piece bathroom. The finished basement adds three more bedrooms, another 3-piece bath, and plumbing rough-ins that could accommodate a future kitchen.

Listed at $995,000, this home is tracking about 27% below a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so it is worth confirming with a precise CMA rather than reading it as a clear deal. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 5 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 5 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $945K, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $1000K
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms −$30K
- Adjusts to $940K
That comparable adjusts to $940K; the $1.37M estimate above is the median of all 5 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
Its public catchment (Aurora HS) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Seaton Dr / Knowles CR is about a 1-minute walk away.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.37M, median of 5 comparables.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed.
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable.

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