$475,000

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY SEPT 12, 1-3. Under $500K. In the SW. And no, it isn't a condo. And no, it's not 600 sq ft. This Bridlewood duplex gives you 1,333 sq ft above grade, three bedrooms upstairs, a south-facing backyard, an undeveloped basement and a detached garage. For a price point where the search usually gets narrower very quickly, there's a surprising amount here to hold onto. Inside, the living room gets its own space at the front, while the kitchen and dining area sit together at the back with white cabinetry, a breakfast island, pantry and doors leading into the backyard. New LVP runs throughout the main floor, new carpet takes over upstairs, and fresh paint throughout has given the home a noticeable refresh. Even the main-floor laundry gets its own room and a door to close behind it, which feels like a small thing until guests drop by on laundry day. Upstairs, all three bedrooms stay together, including a primary with its own ensuite and walk-in closet. Downstairs, the basement remains undeveloped, leaving approximately 640 sq ft to work with down the road. Some of the less exciting expenses have already had their turn too. The hot water tank has been replaced, the roof was replaced a few years ago, and there's a double detached garage out back. A big mature tree gives the front of the home some privacy, while across the street, the park and playground give you more green space than your property taxes ask you to look after. The bus stops right there too, with Bridlewood School, groceries, the Somerset-Bridlewood CTrain station and Spruce Meadows all just minutes from home. And if you're reading this with a calculator instead of a Pinterest board, three bedrooms, no condo fees and a sub-$500K price point in the SW make a pretty good case too.
