Aurora Village, Aurora · MLS® N13540588
About this home
Tucked away on one of Aurora Village's most peaceful cul-de-sacs, this beautifully renovated 2,438 sq. ft. 4-bedroom home blends timeless 1880s character with modern luxury on an exceptional 53' x 200' lot backing onto a tranquil stream and Fleury Park. Unlike many historic homes, it is not heritage designated, offering all the charm without the restrictions. Sun-filled living spaces, hardwood floors, a gourmet kitchen with premium appliances, and a stunning primary retreat with vaulted ceilings and a spa-inspired ensuite create effortless everyday living. Outside, the private backyard enjoys a rare natural buffer from the park while providing direct access to tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, sports fields, and expansive green space. Freshly painted in 2026 with a recently waterproofed basement and new sump pump, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy country-like privacy just steps from downtown Aurora's shops, restaurants, schools, and amenities.

Heads up: the asking price here sits well above what comparable listings suggest. That can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look before you offer. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.

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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable.

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.
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
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.
