Central West, Ajax

Central West detached homes for sale

Detached houses in Central West range from the century homes of Pickering Village to the family subdivisions that surround them. In the core along Church Street and Old Kingston Road, frame and brick houses from the mid-1800s to the 1920s stand on deep lots, some heritage-designated, with the character and the maintenance obligations that come with old wood windows, stone foundations and mature trees. Between Church and Westney, the bungalows and splits from the 1960s and 1970s offer wider lots and simpler upkeep, and the 1980s two-storeys along Ravenscroft Road and toward Rossland Road West are conventional three- and four-bedroom family houses with attached garages. Newer infill houses have replaced a few village lots. Check the heritage register status, the TRCA regulation line for anything near Duffins Creek, the sewer lateral and the wiring on the oldest houses, and the standard roof, furnace and window ages on the rest. The buyers are families after the village schools and the trail, commuters using the Westney interchange, and people who simply want a house that does not look like every other house.

Questions people ask about Central West

Are the century homes in Pickering Village expensive to maintain?

They cost more to keep than a 1980s house, mainly in roofing, window restoration, foundation parging and drainage, and insurers may query knob-and-tube wiring, a stone foundation or an old oil tank. Many have been rewired and reinsulated by previous owners; ask for the records. The trade is a lot, a street and a house with detail that no subdivision offers.

Which Central West streets have the newest detached houses?

Infill lots in and around the village core have taken 2000s and later custom builds, and the subdivisions up by Rossland Road West and along Ravenscroft Road are the youngest full streets, dating from the 1980s and 1990s. Anything newer sits north of Rossland in Northwest Ajax. For a truly new house you will be looking at replacing an old one on a village lot.

Which checks matter for a house backing onto Duffins Creek?

The TRCA regulation mapping for the lot, which controls decks, sheds, pools and any addition near the valley; the slope stability and whether the rear yard has been filled; the sump pump, the weeping tile and any evidence of basement water; and the tree protection by-law, since the mature trees on the valley edge are usually protected. A view of the ravine is worth the extra diligence.
