This backsplit sits right behind Portage View Public School, so you'll hear morning bells instead of traffic. The backyard is the real selling point though - a big deck with not one but two gazebos, a gas BBQ hookup, and a pear tree. Fully fenced too, which is rare for the area. You're about 1.6 km from Sandy Hollow Buffer park and 1.1 km from Cw Coops if you need a quick bite. The main floor has an open layout with a gas fireplace framed by built-in shelving. Kitchen was redone with quartz counters, soft-close cabinets, and stainless appliances. There's heated flooring under the dining area - nice touch for winter. Two bedrooms upstairs, both with blackout blinds and closet organizers. Basement adds a third bedroom and a 3-piece bath with heated floors and a glass shower. Newer AC, washer/dryer, and a tankless water heater. Siding, roof, and eaves were all updated too. Lot is 40x118 feet, which gives you decent space. Taxes run about $3,580 a year. Priced at $649,900, which is a bit above the nearby median of $599,500, but you're paying for the updates and that school-adjacent yard. Places around here tend to sell in about 60 days. All the usual spots are within 2 km - Keg, Red Lobster, Tim Hortons, even a couple of sushi places.
