Lakeview semi-detached homes for sale

Semi-detached houses in Lakeview date mostly from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, built as the community filled in east toward Farewell Street and around Southmead Park and the Bloor Street end. Typical forms are two-storey brick-and-siding semis with three bedrooms up and one driveway, and raised bungalow or back-split semis whose own side door has often become the entry to a basement apartment. Lots run about 30 feet wide and deep enough for a real yard. Because these were built to a price, buyers should look at the party wall for sound, at the roof and eaves, which are usually shared or abut the neighbour's, at the original windows and at whether the two halves have been maintained to a similar standard; one half sagging affects the other. Ask about any shared driveway agreement. For first-time buyers a semi here offers a house and a yard a short stroll from the schools, the community centre and the 901.

Questions people ask about Lakeview

Do Lakeview semis have basement apartments?

Many back-split and raised-bungalow semis do, because the side entrance and high basement windows made a suite easy. Some were permitted, many were not. Request the permit and fire inspection report, check for two working exits and interconnected smoke alarms, and value the income only if the unit is legal.

What is shared between semi-detached halves?

The party wall, often the roofline and eavestroughs, sometimes a driveway and a fence, and on a few older pairs one water or sewer connection. Confirm who is responsible for what, put driveway arrangements in writing, and look at the neighbour's half as closely as your own.

Which is a better buy here, a semi or a wartime detached?

A semi is usually newer, offers three bedrooms over a full basement, and needs fewer structural surprises. A wartime detached has a wider lot and no shared wall but often smaller rooms and more updating. Families tend to choose the semi; renovators and workshop owners choose the detached. The Miller team can walk both on the same afternoon.
