The Wilding Team presents……………..in Mississauga, not one of our Brampton Homes for Sale but worth a look

Opportunity can knock when you least expect it.  This detached bungalow is located in the popular Lorne Park area of Mississauga.  Many homes have been renovated or torn down and new grand homes constructed.  A deep lot like this is a rare find so call The Wilding Team to book your appointment.  Seventy five feet of frontage with a depth of one hundred and eighty five feet has to be seen in person.  Take the time to imagine your family enjoying the massive back yard and mature trees.  The house itself is a raised brick bungalow with a concrete block foundation and above grade basement windows.  A few things have been improved: gas furnace, central air conditioner, hot water tank, the front stone walkway and porch.  The roof however does need attention unless of course you want to do a rebuild on the lot and then it won’t matter will it?

Features of the house

This home has a nice size front porch for this age of home and the front foyer has strip hardwood floors that continue down the hallway.  The large living room and dining room combination has broadloom over  the hardwood floors and a beautiful picture window that lets the sun shine in, and who does not love the warm sun at this time of year.  The kitchen needs to be renovated so come with your ideas and maybe a contractor to see if you can make it an open concept with the dining room OR go with your plans.  There are three bedrooms all with broadloom over hardwood floors.  This type of floor can be sanded and stained dark which would look amazing.  The bathroom is like stepping back in time and even though the tiles are black and white, probably popular in it’s day, you will definitely want to renovate it.

Basement:

There is a back door to this house that goes  down to the basement or up to the hallway.  The basement does have a room that was partially finished but basements now a days are as nice as the main part of houses so this one needs some work.  The utility part of the basement contains a cold cellar, furnace area, laundry area and plenty of room to make another room if you want.  Keep in mind the basement windows are all above grade so that is a nice feature. The Carrier gas furnace and central air were installed in 2013 and has an air cleaner.

The owner of this home wanted to enjoy the view of the backyard even in the bad weather so a screened in back porch was made to keep the bugs out.  Not to say that you are going to keep this structure but you will understand why they wanted to enjoy the back yard when you see it.
