This brick bungalow's real headline is the 75 by 180 foot lot, which is roughly triple the size of a standard Toronto plot. You've got serious space for a shop, a pool, or maybe a garden big enough to feed the neighborhood. The house itself is a 3+2 bedroom, 3 bath setup with a finished basement apartment that has its own rear entrance, so it's set up for two families or rental income. Main floor has hardwood and ceramic flooring, and the bathrooms have been updated, one with a modern glass shower and subway tile. You'll also find two kitchens, two stoves, and two fridges, which makes the in-law setup feel legit. Location is a big plus: it's under 4 km to both the Toronto Zoo and Rouge Park, about 4 minutes to Pickering Town Centre for shopping, and there are a couple of schools within a 10-15 minute drive. The roof and windows? Those look original, so budget for replacements. Priced at $1,179,900, which is a bit above the $1,164,450 median nearby, but you're paying for land here. It's a solid investment play, but it's also a home that could work for a big family. Just remember, it's a fixer-upper in terms of cosmetics, so bring your renovation boots.
