This 3-bed, 2-bath three-level on a corner lot in Chatham is basically brand new. The owners kept it spotless, and it shows. Hardwood floors shine throughout the main and upper levels, with laminate and vinyl elsewhere for easy upkeep. You'll find two gas fireplaces, one in the living room and one in the family room on the third level. That top floor also has a huge laundry room with a sink, a 2-piece bath, and lots of dry storage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is generous, and there's a 4-piece bath with a jacuzzi tub. The kitchen opens to an eating area, making it easy to keep an eye on things. Outside, the double-wide concrete driveway leads to a carport with extra-high ceiling, plus two large sheds. One shed has a ramp, so it's perfect for a motorcycle or workshop. Lot is 47 by irregular, all fenced, so there's private yard space. Built in 1986, but it's in such good shape you'd never guess. You're minutes from the 401, with restaurants like The Cajun Pepper within a few blocks. Walmart and Tim Hortons are about 5 minutes away. Priced at $469,900, reasonable given the condition and the corner lot. Market's moving fast here, but this one's worth a look.
