This 2.5-storey century home has a sunken family room that's the real showstopper. It's a step down from the main floor, with a fireplace and enough space for a big couch and TV. The main floor also has a dining room, a kitchen with tile floors, and a laundry room - that's a rare find in a house this age. Upstairs, you get three bedrooms, a den/office, and a loft on the top level. With 3 full baths and a partial, there's no morning lineup. The lot is 42.3 x 132 ft, so the backyard is decent-sized, and there's a detached garage and room for two more cars in the driveway. Built on a block foundation with brick and vinyl siding, it's solid but not flashy. You're steps from downtown Oshawa, with the GM Centre, restaurants like Avanti Trattoria, and the library all within a 1.2 km walk. Lakeridge Health is 1.3 km away, and the 401 is a quick hop. Priced at $699,000, it's slightly below the area's median of $722,500, and with homes selling in about 47 days, it's a market that's moving. If you want character without the cookie-cutter feel, this is it.
