This 1947 bungalow in Rosedale is all about easy living on one level. The covered rear patio stretches the full width of the house. It's a proper outdoor room, shaded and dry, and could easily be screened in for three-season use. Inside, you'll find 904 square feet with a refreshed feel: hardwood floors, fresh paint, and vinyl windows throughout. The gas fireplace in the living room is the centerpiece, and the kitchen connects via a breakfast bar. It's got stainless steel appliances, including a built-in microwave. The primary bedroom is a cozy 9'9'' x 11'8'', the second fits a double. The 3-piece bath was recently renovated. Laundry is in the mudroom off the back, which is practical. The lot is 46 feet wide by 125 feet deep. There's a detached garage that's a tight fit for a car, but great for storage or a workshop. Parking is also available on the paved driveway. Heat is hot water radiator, which is efficient and quiet; you'll use window AC in summer. The property taxes are $4,048 a year. Located near Tim Hortons Field and Mohawk Sports Park, with easy access to the QEW. This is a solid starter home or downsizer's pick. At $529,900, it's priced a bit above the area's median sale price of $386,900, but the updates and the patio add value. If you want single-story living with character, this is it.
