726 Coulson Avenue is located on a quiet, tree-lined street at the heart of the Timberlea neighbourhood in Milton.  To the left, 11 doors away is Coulson Park, and to the right you have Laurier Park.  The home is also sandwiched between EW Foster Public School and Sam Sherratt Middle School.  It’s an unbeatable location in a friendly area where neighbours still say hello to each other.

The house is a 1515 square foot semi-detached, plus a finished basement with a rec room, bedroom and wet bar area that provides a total of more than 2,000 square feet of living space.  The yard is a generous 35 feet wide by 120 feet deep.  To put that in context, new home builders are putting detached double garage homes on the same lot width, and the depth is at least 30 feet more than most new homes.

Plus, there are hardwood floors in all principal rooms on the main and second level, and there’s a covered back deck so you can barbecue in any weather.

The home has been neglected, and it needs some work to bring it back to life.  A pre-listing home inspection has been done and is attached.  The vision is to be absolutely transparent about the condition of the home, so that the next owner knows exactly what they need to do.  There’s some electrical work that needs to happen, and the roof needs replacing soon.  Plus, the cost of flooring, kitchen and washrooms, paint and other details.  Our estimates put the work at approximately $80,000, and we’re happy to share the breakdown.

But after the initial investment, the new owner will have an outstanding property location, and a home large enough to live in for many years to come.

About the Neighbourhood

Timberlea

Timberlea was built mostly in the 1980’s, and you tend to get more square footage and size than many of the homes in Old Milton and Dorset Park. Double-garage two-storey homes are very popular with growing families, and the area can be a great balance between modern features like larger closets and ensuite washrooms, and having a lot size much larger than many of the newer neighbourhoods.
