You're two minutes from the QEW and five from Port Dalhousie's beaches, but this backsplit sits on a quiet 50-foot lot in Martindale Heights. Exterior got a full stucco redo, so it stands out from the older brick homes around it. Inside, the front foyer hits you with two-storey ceilings and 24x24 tile, then opens to a living room with hardwood and direct garage access. Kitchen's been redone with granite counters, a tiled backsplash, and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, plus a breakfast area that slides open to the deck. Upper level has three bedrooms, including a primary with a walk-in closet, and a five-piece bath with double vanity and soaker tub. Down one level, the family room is bright thanks to big windows, and there's a second full bath. Lowest level adds a rec room or potential fourth bedroom, another living space, and laundry. Garage is tricked out with epoxy floor, built-in cabinets, and a bar fridge. Covered patio out back has pot lights and a ceiling fan, and the yard beyond is all grass, no maintenance headaches. It's not a perfect comp for the area's $565k median, but you're getting 3000+ sq ft finished, so the price reflects that space.
