McLaughlin, Oshawa

McLaughlin detached homes for sale

Detached houses are the whole story in McLaughlin. Expect a 1950s or 1960s brick bungalow or side-split between Park Road North and Stevenson Road North on a 50 to 60 foot lot, a 1970s or 1980s two-storey or back-split west of Thornton Road on 40 to 50 feet, or a 1920s to 1940s house near Adelaide and Park Road with more character and more quirks. Attached single garages are common on the split-levels, double garages on the western two-storeys, and detached garages on the oldest streets. What to check: roofs and windows from the last update, the furnace and air conditioning age, aluminum wiring in some 1960s and 1970s houses, original galvanized plumbing, and whether the lower level of a split was finished with permits. Lots near the creek fall under CLOCA review. Many houses are being sold by original or second owners, so expect dated but sound interiors and price your renovation honestly. Streets off Annapolis and Woodcrest, and the crescents near Adelaide McLaughlin school, are the most sought after.

Questions people ask about McLaughlin

How do side-splits and back-splits differ here?

A side-split staggers its levels left to right, with the garage and living room on the front and bedrooms a half-flight up; a back-split staggers front to back, with bedrooms over a lower family room at the rear. Both are common in McLaughlin, offer three or four bedrooms, and put a family room near grade, which is why they convert well to in-law suites.

Do McLaughlin lots allow additions or a bigger garage?

Usually yes. The 50-foot lots leave room for rear additions and detached garages within the City's setbacks and lot coverage limits, and infill two-storeys show what is possible. Check for easements along the rear, any CLOCA regulated area near the creek, and mature trees you may need to protect.

Are original 1960s houses worth buying to renovate?

Often, because the structure, lot and street are what you cannot change. Budget for a kitchen, baths, windows, insulation and possibly wiring and plumbing, get quotes before you offer, and look for houses where the roof and furnace are already done. Renovated comparables on the same street show what a finished house can be.
