CO-OP AGENT Mara Bossio, Royal LePage Terrequity Realty
The Action: A hunt for a house near Etobicoke's waterfront for clients of agent Mara Bossio lead further west to Mississauga, where this three-bedroom and two-bathroom bungalow was a bigger and better bargain.
What They Got: Within a small enclave of homes in the Orchard Heights community, the life of this more than 50-year-old bungalow was extended with a remodelled kitchen and new hardwood floors throughout, including two lower-level bedrooms and recreation room.
The 66-by-120-foot lot is accessible from decks off the master bedroom and dining space by the fireside living room.
The Agent's Take: "Orchard Heights is located behind the prestigious Toronto Golf Club with an unheard-of frontage of over 66-feet, a privacy-fenced yard with mature trees and a double car garage. It's amazing value," Ms. Bossio says.
"It's close to amenities, such as the 427, QEW and 401, and the airport, and walking distance to excellent schools."
The interior work done, such as the custom millwork, was also a highlight. "The ranch-style bungalow is entirely renovated with sun-filled rooms with hardwood, granite, marble finishes and stainless steel appliances," Ms. Bossio says.
