Charming century home offers a blend of historic character and modern amenities, perfectly complemented by an exceptional rear yard that truly stands out! Situated on a magnificent 214’ fenced lot, the meticulously manicured lawn and gardens are something you might find in Better Homes and Gardens with beautiful trees, perennials, fountains, and decorative pieces. Further, there is an impressive maintenance-free composite deck (2020) complete with an electric custom awning and low-voltage timed accent lighting plus
8-zone irrigation system, and a commercial grade paved driveway. The home itself is in good condition with updated electrical and 100 amp breaker (2002), plumbing with updated water pipes and drains, 30 year shingles in 2006, and maintenance-free windows (miscellaneous replacement over 5-8 years). On the south side, there is an entrance to a combined foyer and office, featuring a wood ceiling and lots of windows (fitted with reflective window film), leading into a spacious living room with high character baseboards, plus 2 main floor bedrooms and a modern 4-piece. The eat-in kitchen overlooks the stunning yard plus there is a staircase that leads to a clean basement with an area for laundry, utilities, storage and a convenient walk-up access to the outside.

Well-Established Southwest Oshawa
Southwest Oshawa is a well-established and diverse neighbourhood offering a wonderful blend of residential living, convenient amenities, recreation, education, and green space. The area is made up of welcoming residential subdivisions alongside larger retail and commercial areas, with pockets of open and undeveloped land adding to its varied character.
One of the area’s greatest advantages is its exceptional convenience. The Oshawa Centre, one of the city’s largest shopping destinations, is located in the northeast corner of the neighbourhood, while additional shopping and everyday amenities can be found throughout the area. Recreation is also close at hand, with a recreation complex in the west end and Trent University’s Durham campus adding an educational presence to the community.
Nature and outdoor enjoyment are easily accessible, with Oshawa Creek forming the eastern boundary. A scenic bike trail follows the creek, providing residents with an enjoyable place to walk, cycle, and experience a little greenery within the city.
Southwest Oshawa offers a wonderful variety of housing options, making it appealing to a wide range of homeowners. The neighbourhood features single-detached homes, semi-detached properties, duplexes, townhomes, and low-rise apartment buildings. As one of Oshawa’s older established communities, the streets showcase a charming mix of architectural styles and generations of homes, with many classic bungalows and side-splits dating from the 1950s through the 1970s, along with older two-storey frame homes.
Families are particularly well served by the area’s educational opportunities, with seven public schools and seven Catholic schools serving the community. With its established homes, excellent schools, convenient shopping, recreational opportunities, and access to trails and green space, Vanier offers the comfortable, connected feel of a mature Oshawa neighbourhood with many of the amenities families look for in a place to call home.
