The Place

A four-plus-two-bedroom, five-bathroom home near the Scarborough–Pickering border. Built in 2019, it comes with a finished fun zone in the basement that was designed for renting out. It’s within walking distance of several beaches and trails, and motorists are a short drive from the 401 and Rouge Park.
