About 85 Thornhill Drive

Thornhill Park home for the First Time Buyer, this house is a perfect opportunity to move right in and to build equity by updating the rooms yourself as your time and funds allow. The Hardwood Floors throughout the main level are in good condition but would benefit from refinishing. The walls on the main floor are painted drywall but were covered with wood paneling using small nails (no adhesive) and is easily removable. At one point, the main level living extended outdoors where there was a wooden deck overtop of the entire garage. The large corner lot allows for plenty of sun throughout the day, with mature trees around the perimeter of the property for privacy. The deck could be re-built once again to extend the living space outdoors. The heating system and electrical panel were updated in 2023 with 3 x ductless heat pumps. R-39 attic insulation was installed at the same time. The roof was re-shingled in 2016, fibreglass oil tank 2011. The basement is partially finished with a rec room and a workshop area with built in storage shelving & access to garage. The basement has a separate entrance around the back of the house, and is high enough above grade to accommodate egress windows, so it could be used as a bedroom or small apartment. The R-2 Zoning allows for up to 4 residential units on this property. A second driveway could potentially be added from Athlone Avenue to accommodate the additional units.
