The brief
About 74 Sterling St
74 Sterling St is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached house in East G, London East, listed for sale at an asking price of $435,000 (MLS® X13713120).
Tucked away on a quiet street in Carling Heights, this charming two bedroom bungalow is proof that great things come in smaller packages. Full of character and vintage charm, it's the kind of home that feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The true showstopper is the backyard. Beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed, it feels like your own private garden with winding paths, mature greenery, and several cozy spots to sit, relax, or entertain. Three detached outbuildings offer endless flexibility. Whether you need a workshop, art studio, home office, yoga space, hobby room, or simply extra storage, you'll have plenty of options to make the space your own. Inside, the second bedroom opens through patio doors to a covered patio overlooking a sunken hot tub, creating a peaceful spot to unwind. (The hot tub is included in as-is condition, as the current owners have never used it.) Downstairs, the finished basement features a spacious rec room, full bathroom, second kitchen, and a separate entrance, offering excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, or future possibilities. Additional updates include a new furnace (2025) and a durable steel roof. Outside, you'll appreciate the beautifully landscaped front yard, single car garage, and parking for multiple vehicles. If you've been looking for a home with personality and an outdoor space that's truly something special, this Carling Heights gem is one you won't want to miss. Seller has never lived in the house so it is being sold in "as is" condition with no representations or warranties.
