Three bedroom homes across Uxbridge

In town, the choice is wide. A raised bungalow near Quaker Village gives three bedrooms up and a lower level that can take a fourth later. A side-split off Reach Street separates the bedrooms from the living rooms by half a flight, which families with small children like. A two-storey in the east-side subdivisions puts all three up with two baths and a garage. A freehold townhouse near Toronto Street South delivers the same count on a narrower footprint with a yard just big enough for a table. Out on the concessions, a three-bedroom bungalow on a couple of acres is the standard country house, and in the villages a storey-and-a-half from before the war has three rooms tucked under the roofline. Each version prices differently and the live grid above sorts them.

First-time buyers who work in Markham or Stouffville and drive Highway 47, young families who want Elgin Park, the arena and the schools within reach, and downsizers leaving a four-bedroom on the east side for a bungalow with three. Retirees moving from Toronto or Scarborough often pick a three-bedroom country bungalow so a grown child or a caregiver has a room. Whichever group you belong to, check the practical things: in town, the roof's age, the furnace's age and whether the windows were ever replaced, whether Uxbridge Brook or spring melt has ever put water in the basement, and whether a trail runs behind the lot. In the country, ask about the well yield and water quality, the septic age and who ploughs the road, the township or the neighbours. As for which streets hold value, put that to Randy and Alexander.
