Pride of ownership and affordability come together in a rare parkside setting at 18 Thorncliffe Drive. This lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath detached bungalow welcomes you with inviting curb appeal on a quiet, family-friendly street. Situated directly across from the lush green space of Thorncliffe Park, this home offers a unique 'extended yard' experience. Imagine sitting out front or relaxing in the sunlit living room, watching your children or grandchildren enjoy the park just steps away. The location is as convenient as it is peaceful, with daycares, schools, shopping, groceries, golf, and scenic walking trails all nearby, plus quick access to the 406 and QEW for an easy commute. Inside, the exceptionally tidy, carpet-free interior, featuring hardwood, vinyl, and laminate flooring, offers a practical layout that is truly move-in ready. Major updates provide added peace of mind, including a newer furnace (2023), roof (2019), upgraded attic insulation (2022), and most windows updated throughout. Step outside and you'll appreciate the extra-wide aggregate-and-concrete interlock driveway and a fully fenced backyard that offers both desired privacy and a comfortable balance of outdoor enjoyment and low maintenance. The included gazebo creates a wonderful space for relaxing or entertaining family and friends, while the spacious yard and handy storage shed still leave plenty of safe, usable space for kids and pets to play. Downstairs, a partially finished basement adds valuable versatility to the home. Currently functioning as a practical workshop, this level includes a 2-piece bathroom and a separate side entrance, offering excellent potential to expand the living space into additional bedrooms, a home gym, a game room, or a play area. If you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or investor searching for a solid, affordable, move-in-ready bungalow in a location that simply makes sense for your new or next chapter, 18 Thorncliffe Drive is a home you'll want to see.
