97 Park Rd S

Start outside, because that is where this house is different. Forty five feet across and two hundred and seven feet deep, hedged and treed both sides, a quarter acre. There is a double garage at the back, twenty three by twenty one, and the drive in front of it parks five more. The pool is already in. You do not find that much land in central Oshawa at this number, and when you do it usually comes with a shed and an apology instead of a garage. Inside, the main floor is done and it is the expensive part: fresh white paint, hardwood through the living and dining rooms and the main floor bedroom, a wood burning fireplace with a painted brick surround, and the original staircase with its turned newel posts still in place. The kitchen is at the back, white cabinets, tile backsplash, stainless range and fridge, and a walkout to the deck. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms under the dormers and a two piece bath, and I will be straight with you, those two rooms are down to subfloor. That is deliberate. Nobody wasted money on flooring you would rip out, so you pick it. The basement is full, finished and divided into actual rooms, a rec room, a den, a bonus room and a laundry with a sink, with above grade windows so it is not a cave. This is a 1925 house. It has the character that comes with that, the exposed post and beam at the landing is my favourite thing in it, and it has the honesty too. It is a first home that gives you land, a garage and a floor you get to choose. Come see it at the open house.
