I have another fantastic listing in Brampton available for purchase.  This is a Daniel’s built freehold townhouse, which means there are no monthly maintenance fees.  The townhouses were built in approximately 1995, and this particular property is being sold by the original owners.  The house has been maintained in absolutely perfect condition – it’s never been subjected to any abuse, any pets, any kids, or any parties.  It’s a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom beauty that has seen a number of recent renovations to keep it brand new.

A new high quality roof was installed in 2009 by Home Depot with a 10 year warranty.  The air conditioner has been upgraded to a Carrier, the central vacuum is a Beam.  The kitchen cabinets have been upgraded and a new HVAC furnace was installed in 2006 with a 10 year warranty.  A ventilator unit sits in the basement to constantly pump fresh air into the house.  A new washer and dryer was installed in 2008 along with a new fridge in the kitchen.  A brand new aluminum garage door was installed in 2005 with a 10 year warranty.

The best part about this property is the backyard, where the owners planted a tree when they first occupied the house.  15 years later, the backyard is the only one in the neighbourhood to enjoy the ample shade of the mature tree in the backyard, providing lots of shade during hot summer days.

The home is super close to Highway 410, the new Brampton hospital, a fitness and wellness centre, plazas, shopping, and public transportation.

If you’re interested in this home or one similar to this, please leave me a comment or give me a call.

Hi everyone.

I have a very lovely and recently renovated semi-detached home on a quiet street in the Heartlake area of Brampton.  It’s a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in a great neighbourhood with fantastic neighbours.

The home has been freshly painted and has a myriad of recent renovations.  Among them:

• a new sun deck that walks out from the master bedroom and sits over the garage
• new kitchen ceramic tiles
• new vinyl siding and high end eavestroughs
• new windows
• new driveway
• newer appliances
• new living room carpet
• recently replaced roof

A great feature of this particular home is that it’s wrapped in 3/4 insulation, which saves you money on heating costs.  All the appliances come with the house, as well as the electrical light fixtures and window coverings.

We are currently asking $280,000.  If you would like more information on this home, or would like to book an appointment to see it, please leave me a comment after this post.

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to post a new listing I have available in the prestigious downtown core of Brampton.  Nestled in a quiet neighbourhood within minutes of walking distance to Gage Park and City Hall, this is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom renovated bungalow.  As you can tell from the pictures, there is a newly added front patio.  The house was originally a 4 bedroom home, but it can easily be converted back.

The house sits on a large lot with a spacious backyard that is perfect for gardeners.  The main washroom is newly renovated, and the home features new countertops, Italian ceramics, hardwood floors, crown moulding, and a stone patio set in the backyard.  The roof was also recently re-shingled.

The basement is partially finished and offers a recreation room, an extra bedroom, and another washroom for convenience.

This house is in a fantastic location, close to a ravine, Shoppers World, City Hall, Gage Park, downtown Brampton, buses, and more.  The great thing about this home is that you’ll have peace of mind living in an extremely well-established and quiet neighbourhood, and best of all… all the neighbours around are great people.

If you’d like to know more about this property, please leave a comment here and I will be sure to send you more information!

Hi everyone.  I just picked up a listing for a gorgeous 2 bedroom + 1 solarium condo near Bramalea City Centre in Brampton.  The building is very well maintained, and comes with a host of amenities (including an exercise room, recreation room, sauna, tennis court, outdoor pool, and 24 hour concierge).  Being right across the street from the mall, it’s also a walk to the Go Bus, Brampton Transit, Chinguacousy Park, and literally a minute drive from Highway 410.

The condo itself features laminate hardwood in the combined living/dining room, an open concept kitchen with ceramic tiles, and a very bright and spacious solarium that can be used as a third bedroom or a home office.

If you’re interested in seeing this property or would like further details, please let me know!

I‘ve always placed a lot of importance on taking great photos of every listing I get.  With the advent of the internet and the popularity of MLS.ca, it’s crucial to have professional, wide angle pictures of your home to clearly illustrate the depth and features of each room.  And as MLS.ca currently only allows a maximum of 9 photos per listing, it’s critical to make a good first impression to get homebuyers interested in seeing your home in person.

If you’re hiring a realtor, make sure to insist on having them hire a professional photographer to have wide angle photos of your house taken.  Here is a great video I found on YouTube that shows you the striking difference between a regular point-and-shoot camera and a professional camera.

Hey everyone!  I have a new listing in Brampton, close to Bovaird & Airport Road.  This home is 3313 square feet, including a 544 square foot an already finished walkout basement area.  The home has 4 bedrooms and sits on a HUGE, very private and fully fenced pie-shaped lot with wrought iron fencing in the front.

As you can tell by the pictures, the kitchen includes tall maple cabinets, granite counter tops with a triple sink, and a tumbled marble backsplash.  Other features include 9′ ceilings, decorative columns and arches, oak wood staircases, California shutters and pot lights thoughout the house.  The master ensuite has a glass shower and double sinks.  Many more upgrades are included as well.  The current listing price is $495,000.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to update you on a new listing I have in Lakelands Village, Brampton.

This home is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom detached home on a quiet street.  The house has a large backyard and best of all, there are no houses behind.

The sellers have added hardwood floors on the main floor and on the second floor hallway.  The kitchen comes included with top of the line stainless steel appliances, and the adjoining family room is already wired for a home theatre system and comes with a gas fireplace.  The master bedroom ensuite bathroom features a whirlpool tub.

The basement, like most of the new homes in Lakelands, is still unfinished.  However, there is a rough-in bathroom and rough-in central vacuum system in place in case you wish to add these features later.  And of course, living in Lakelands means the convenience of highway 410, all the plazas and shops close by (including Trinity Mall), the new hospital, parks, and the lake in the middle of the village.

If you’re interested in seeing this property or any other real estate in Brampton, please contact me!

If you’re looking for a quaint home in the Heart Lake area, this home may be perfect for you.  Nestled behind the beautiful foilage of Heart Lake Conservation park, this home offers a spacious open-concept layout with 3 bedrooms in a family-oriented neighbourhood.  The neighbours are all fantastic!  The large basement is finished and features a walk-out to a fenced, private backyard.

Because this is an older home, you’ll find the neighbourhood filled with lots of tall trees, and nature trails leading into Heart Lake are just steps away.  The home is minutes from highway 410 off of Sandalwood Parkway and very close to a large shopping plaza.  A recreation centre, the new hospital, and other convenient amenties are all near by.

There have been a number of recent upgrades to the home, and the sale includes all the appliances and window coverings.  This house is currently listed for $229,500 and won’t last long at this price.  It’s rare to find a beautiful home like this at a price this low in Brampton.  If you’re interested in this home and want to stop by and have a look, please feel free to contact me at the top of the page.  You can also drop in at our open house on June 22, 2008 between 12pm – 4pm.

Hope to talk to you soon!

** Update**

Thanks to Karen for pointing out that I forgot to include the address!  The address is 46 Barrington Crescent, and the main intersection is Sandalwood and Royal Palm.

If you’re looking to buy a home in Lakelands Village, Brampton…. stop right there!  For most of you familiar with the Lakelands community, you’ll know that it’s an enclosed neighbourhood of stunning homes built around a man-made lake in a prime area of Brampton.  Aside from the close amenities and shopping, you’re also steps away from the Brampton Transit, Highway 410, and just a minute drive from Brampton’s new hospital.

That being said, Lakelands features a wide myriad of models to accommodate all types of buyers.  From cozy semi-detached homes to sprawling detached houses, there is a home for every type of buyer.  But regardless of the model or the style, most people move to Lakelands for that family-oriented community feeling.

This particular listing is the Balsam model with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, covering 2,450 square feet but feeling like so much more because of great use of usable space.  The house sits on a bend, providing all the benefits of a corner home with extra sunlight and a large front lawn, without the hassle of extra traffic and noise of typical corner lots.  What you’ll notice first when you step into this home is how much sunlight fills the main floor.  The home faces southwest, so the sun shines through throughout almost all of the day.  Every room is large and spacious to fit any family’s needs.  There is no carpet in this house!  The unique pie shaped lot provides a large backyward with a large fence for privacy, and best of all…. the neighbours are fantastic!

If you’re interested in this home, please feel free to contact me!

I had an opportunity to take some pictures of a new listing in the northwest end of Brampton yesterday. This semi-detached home is very bright and spacious, and you’ll notice that the entire house features neutral tones. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and one of the key selling points of this particular model is that the laundry room is up on the second floor. Best of all, their are no neighbours behind the backyard. Let me know if this house appeals to you and you’d like more information.

As you already know, I tend to specialize in real estate in the Brampton area. However, I took some photos of a new listing in Woodbridge and thought it would be great to post up anyways. This beautiful 3000 square foot detached home has 4 spacious bedrooms, of which the master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a charming bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. You’ll notice in the pictures that there is a large kitchen with lots of room for a breakfast area and a pantry. The family room includes a marble gas fireplace and is already wired for home theaters.

Enjoy the pictures. If you want more info on this listing, just send me a note through my contact form.

In the meantime, I will be posting some pictures in the coming days of a new listing I have in Lakelands Village, Brampton. You’ll absolutely love this house, so stay tuned!

Here are some quick photos I took of a real estate listing I have in Brampton. This house is under power of sale. The home is a corner lot, 3 bedroom & 3 bathroom detach with a one bedroom basement apartment equipped with a second kitchen and a bathroom. There is hardwood throughout the house except for new carpeting in the basement. Both main washrooms have been updated, one of which is an ensuite in the master bedroom. There is also a main floor laundry room, something you’ll be hard pressed to find in older homes. An entrance from the garage also leads into the house.

The lot is relatively large at 70 x 100 feet, and there is an inground pool in the backyard. Because the house is under power of sale, it is being sold as is. If you’re interested in looking at this home, feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to send you the full listing information.

In the meantime, I’ll have some more real estate articles up soon. It’s been a busy week, but I’ll be posting some new articles soon. Thanks for being a part of my Brampton Real Estate Blog!

This last week started off tremendously slow with the huge winter storm over the weekend, but then got very hectic as the bad weather disappeared and people started playing catch up with their time. Despite the erratic weather, the real estate market didn’t slow down at all. Here are some photos I took of a home in the north end of Brampton. This particular property is a semi-detached home with 4 bedrooms, 3 washrooms, and an unfinished basement.  As you can tell by the pictures, it shows like a model home and there’s been a lot spent on upgrades.

If you’re interested in getting more information on this listing in Brampton, I’ll be happy to provide it. As always, you can reach me through my contact form.

These are photos I took today of a new listing here in the north end of Brampton. This detached home is 2150 square feet with a ton of upgrades, as you can see from the photos. This home features 4 bedrooms with an upstairs family room, a kitchen with a huge eat-in area, a large combination dining/living room, and the house fronts onto a park that sits snugly in the middle of a family-friendly neighbourhood.

The Castlemore area of Brampton features new stunning detached homes with upscale designs in pocket communities that boast parks, ponds, forests, and river valleys. The demand for homes in this area has been brisk since home builders developed this northeast area of Brampton and continues to be hot in the resale market.

Here are some photos I took today of a home by Sandalwood and Airport Road. This detach covers over 3000 square feet, providing 5 bedrooms, 4 washrooms, a double garage, and hardwood throughout most of the house. You can tell in the pictures that thousands have been spent on upgrades.

As there is a great interest in homes in this area, I will cover some of the communities of Castlemore in a future article. If there are any areas of Brampton that you would like to see featured, or you’re interested in more details pertaining to this house, please feel free to send me a comment and I will be glad to see what I can do!

Ravine lots are in high demand in Brampton, and as there aren’t too many ravines in the city, these properties usually go for a premium. Here are some photographs of a home I took in the summer that backs onto a ravine in the north end of Brampton. If you’re interested in ravine lots, the Lakelands community was recently built. The houses feature great designs and one portion of the neighbourhood backs onto a ravine.  I will be doing a feature on the Lakelands this spring, so check back often.

As for the photos below, this particular property is no longer available, but I wanted to show these pictures as the home was in fantastic condition. As a Brampton real estate professional, I try to get out to see as many types of homes and condos as I can. I will post more photos of other properties in the coming days. Enjoy.

The boom in subdivisions in Brampton has been staggering over the last 10 years. The north end of the city, once quiet fields and farmland, has been transformed into neighbourhoods of new homes. But as the demand for new homes has increased, so has the demand for condos. Brampton features a number of condominium apartments, with a handful under development. Over the course of the next month or so, I will begin writing spotlights on each condo outlining the price ranges of the units as well as the featured amenities.

If you’re interested in perhaps buying a condo in Brampton, check back here often as I update the site with detailed information on each condo building. Of course, you can contact me anytime if you would like details now on a particular condo and can’t wait for my articles.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of a unit I took a few months back of a unit on Lisa St. This building is popular as it’s located next to a large mall, and is minutes from the highway. Again, I be will writing more in-depth articles on these condo buildings very soon, so stay tuned. Here are the photos.

Here are some photographs I took today of a new listing. If you’re interested in seeing other pictures of homes for sale in Brampton, please contact me. Brampton is a fantastic place to find affordable town homes, semi-detached, and detached houses in the Greater Toronto Area, and with all the new housing developments in the north end of the city, there is a home for every type of buyer!
