About the Property
When this home was last purchased, in 1973, the world was a very different place. The kids raised there saw the first walkman, the arrival of the home computer, the compact disk, the internet! A lot has changed. But the desire to buy a place and create the life you want with it has not. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow is full of potential.
The large lot is perfect for someone who wants to tear down and rebuild, or someone who wants to expand the current home and keep a large lawn area for kids or pets.
The home isn’t the space that some first-time buyers are dreaming about, but it is in livable condition for someone who’s looking to get into the market and renovate later, or over time. The finished side is perfect for a rec room, with laundry and storage in the rest of the space.
You’ll also have 2 car parking on a long driveway, in this quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood.
3 Best Things About This Home?
1. Location, location, location – Birchcliffe is an amazing neighbourhood with amazing schools and good transit. Easy access to Victoria Park or Warden subway stations.
2. Lot size – great for future renos the buyer wants to do later, or for renovators or developers looking to create something new now.
3. Priced for possibilities – you can get into a great neighbourhood at an accessible price & renovate. Or you can choose to top-up or tear down to make something new.
About the Neighbourhood and Lifestyle
Birchcliffe-Cliffside is an amazing neighbourhood with great schools and great parks – nearby parks include Rosetta McLean, Scotia Parkette, Lynndale Park and Blantyre Park. The Bluffs are a short 10-minute walk, with renowned water views. You can walk to the Bloor-Danforth subway line in 25 minutes, and bus or bike in 10. Downtown is a short 20-minute commute by car.
For those thinking about keeping fit or raising a family (or both), Birchmount high school, complete with running track facilities is only 10 minutes away. Birchmount Community Centre not only has an amazing pool but also has been updated to include indoor courts. You’re close to grocery stores, and local shops too.
Condo developments are going up quickly on Kingston Road, which suggests property values will increase as more commercial and community spaces move into the neighbourhood to meet demand.
Birch Cliff
Decided that you would never move farther east than the Beach(es)?! After seeing the Birch Cliff area you might rethink that decision. Birch Cliff is an amazing place to raise a family and one of the city’s best-kept secrets. After all, who wouldn’t want to own a house overlooking the water?
Located in the southwestern part of the old city of Scarborough, Birch Cliff borders the shores of lake Ontario and sits on the western part of the Scarborough bluffs. Its bounded by Victoria Park Avenue to the west, Danforth Road to the north, and Lake Ontario to the east and south.
