The house for sale at 25 Great Oak Drive

Address: 25 Great Oak Drive
Neighbourhood: Thorncrest Agent: Stephanie Haxhillari, Re/Max West Realty Inc., Brokerage Price: $1,859,999

The place: A four-bedroom home with classic touches in a tree-covered pocket of Etobicoke.

The history: The home was built in 1998, but it has a traditional aesthetic: think crown moulding, wainscotting galore, hardwood floors and broadloom carpet.

Big selling point: The location is great for outdoorsy types: it’s within walking distance of half a dozen parks and very close to Islington Golf Club. (Or, the owner could always stay at home and enjoy the saltwater pool.)

Possible deal breaker: Prospective buyers might need to set aside a little extra money for help with exterior maintenance. That huge pool isn’t going to clean itself.

• $1,859,999 • $10,861.01 in taxes (2015) • 3500 square feet • 68 feet of frontage • 4 bedrooms • 4 bathrooms • 1 saltwater pool
