Property Overview
This two-storey home at 74 Durado Bay in Canterbury Park is defined by its generous proportions and established neighbourhood setting. Its key appeal lies in offering above-average space on a large, private lot. With 1,897 sqft of living space, it ranks in the top 4% for size on its street, providing ample room for a growing family or those who value spacious interiors. The 9,161 sqft lot is notably larger than most, placing it in the top 19% locally, which is a significant asset for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, or future expansion. A renovated basement adds functional living space. Built in 1990, the home is well-situated within its mature, tree-lined community.
The property best suits buyers looking for a established home with a premium lot size in a quiet neighbourhood, who may prioritize indoor and outdoor space over brand-new construction. It’s a strong option for those who see value in a home that already stands out in its immediate area for scale and privacy, and who are comfortable with the character and maintenance considerations of a 36-year-old structure. The recent sale in 2023 provides a clear, current market benchmark.
