Applewood detached homes for sale

Detached buyers in Applewood choose between two eras. In Applewood Acres, south of The Queensway, you find the original 1950s Shipp houses: ranch bungalows, side-splits and one-and-a-half-storey homes on generous lots, many with wide frontages that now attract custom rebuilds. In Applewood Hills, north of Dundas on streets such as Golden Orchard Drive, Autumn Harvest, Flamewood and Winding Trail, the houses are mostly 1960s and 1970s two-storeys and splits with attached garages. With houses this age, have your inspector check the electrical panel, plumbing, insulation and the age of the roof, and ask whether any addition or finished basement had permits. Mature trees are part of the appeal and are protected by the city's private tree by-law, so plan any removal early. Lots backing onto Etobicoke Creek or the Applewood Trail valley fall under conservation authority regulation. Confirm zoning setbacks with the City before you assume a rebuild.
