You're in the heart of Pickering, just 400 meters from William Dunbar Public School, and this John Boddy bungaloft sits on a 44.3 by 105 foot flat lot. The main floor opens with a wide foyer, leading to a living room and separate dining room that flow together for entertaining. There's an eat-in kitchen with patio doors to the backyard, plus two bedrooms and a bathroom on this level. The upper loft holds the primary bedroom with its own full bath, and it's big enough to double as a home office. Downstairs, the basement is fully finished with a rec/games room, a recently updated bathroom with walk-in shower and grab bars, a utility room, and a generous storage area that includes a wine cellar and pantry. The house is in solid shape, with central vac, a monitored alarm, and central air for the 1,500-ish square feet above grade (the basement adds more). Outside, the yard is fully fenced and landscaped, with a deck off the kitchen for morning coffee or BBQs. Parking's easy with the attached garage plus driveway space for up to six cars. You're 1.8 km from Pickering Town Centre for shopping, and there's a community centre nearby. Asking $1,150,000, which is above the nearby median of $737,500, but with this layout and the finished basement, plus the low inventory of only 16 active listings, it's priced for what it offers. Taxes run about $7,502 a year.
