The Place

A classic four-bedroom, two-bathroom backsplit home in White Oaks.

The Details

If you’re looking for a great family home in a desirable residential neighbourhood, look no further than this classic 1990s backsplit property in White Oaks, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage, large south-facing backyard and a reasonable price tag.

As you enter from the covered front porch, the home presents the family room to your right — a large living area with a huge front window. Continue into the home you reach a similarly spacious formal dining room. Both rooms are carpeted and feature wood trim, and the dining room comes with wainscotting to give it an elevated look that offers lots of potential for interesting paint schemes.

The home includes an incredibly spacious kitchen with tons of cabinet space (13 sets of double doors, to be precise). It features easy-to-maintain laminate countertops, a double sink, laminate flooring and dishwasher. The kitchen itself is quite large, and there’s more than enough space for an island cart or kitchen table. It also leads out onto the back patio via a back door.

As you go down the half-stairs to the home’s lower living area you land in another carpeted area with seating surrounding a brick hearth and gas fireplace, with windows along one wall to add natural light into the space. This lower level also includes one of the home’s four bedrooms as well as a three-piece bathroom.

Upstairs you’ll find the home’s three main bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a cheater ensuite with a large corner soaking tub, walk-in shower and large mirrors. All three bedrooms are carpeted and feature the same wood trim as the rest of the house, ample closet space and windows to add natural light.

In the backyard the property includes a sizeable stone patio, facing towards a large backyard. With a south-facing orientation, it’s a perfect backyard for anyone with a green thumb, as it comes with garden beds landscaped in as well as plenty of potential to build more as you customize the space.
