Property Overview & Appeal
This two-storey home in Bridgwater Forest is defined by its exceptionally large, private lot—over 17,000 square feet—which ranks in the top tier for size both locally and citywide. Built in 2010, the home itself offers over 2,100 square feet of living space with an attached garage and an unfinished basement, presenting a solid canvas for personalization. Its primary appeal lies in the rare combination of a modern suburban home in a sought-after neighbourhood with a land parcel that feels more expansive and established than typical newer subdivisions. The property’s strong and consistent value history, with sold prices significantly above assessed value, indicates a desirable location and solid investment.
This home would suit buyers who prioritize outdoor space and future potential over immediate turn-key perfection. It’s ideal for a family seeking room for play, gardens, or future additions, or for a value-conscious buyer willing to renovate the basement and updates over time to build equity. The lot offers a less obvious benefit: privacy and a sense of retreat that’s hard to find in homes of this era, making it stand out from nearby properties.
