Details: This four-bedroom semi-detached home in Mississauga’s Meadowville Village was originally built by Mattamy Homes.
“In total we received 14 offers, with the home ultimately selling for $16,000 over the asking price,” says listing agent Mary Semen.
“The home has a unique design with double entry doors — driving by the front it could easily be mistaken as a detached home. During our first open house, I accumulated a parade of cars following me through the neighbourhood as I was putting up my signs,” adds Semen.
Main floor has family room with hardwood floor and gas fireplace; open-concept living room with hardwood; dining room with hardwood floor; kitchen with ceramic floor and breakfast area with sliding door walkout; den with hardwood floor; powder room.
On the second floor are master bedroom with laminate floor, walk-in closet and four-piece ensuite; three more bedrooms with laminate floors; four-piece bathroom.
Basement is fully finished with an office and recreation room, large enough for the billiard and ping-pong tables.
