South West detached homes for sale

Detached houses in South West fall into three eras. The wartime bungalows and taller one-and-a-half-storey plans from the 1940s on Kings Crescent, Exeter Road, Admiral Road and the streets around Harwood are the smallest but sit on the deepest lots, and the block now mixes originals, additions and full rebuilds. The Lakeside and Duffins Bay streets, laid out in the 1960s and 1970s south of Bayly Street West, hold bungalows and splits with a few two-storeys, on wide lots that have single garages and mature trees, and the best of them back onto the Duffins Creek ravine or sit a street from Lake Driveway West. A few larger 1980s and 1990s houses occupy the last pockets near the marsh. Buyers are families who want the lake, retirees who want a bungalow, and renovators. Check the wartime houses for original wiring, insulation and foundations; check the 1960s houses for roof, window and furnace ages and for basement moisture; and on any ravine or shoreline lot, pull the TRCA regulated-area mapping before you plan a pool, deck or addition.
