Northglen detached homes for sale

Every detached house in Northglen belongs to one of three generations. The 1960s bungalows and raised bungalows east of Thornton Road are the simplest to renovate: wide frontage, brick exteriors, full basements with separate side entrances on many raised models. The 1970s split-levels and two-storey plans add square footage and attached garages but bring era-specific checks: aluminum branch wiring, poly-B or galvanized plumbing, original windows and insulation values that show up on the gas bill. West of Thornton, the 1990s two-storeys carry double garages and family rooms and are approaching the age where roofs, furnaces and the first round of windows fall due; look for Kitec fittings in houses finished after 1995. Across all three, confirm what the airport zoning regulations allow for additions and height, since the City's plan flags lands affected by them, and check whether the rear of the lot drops into the creek valley, where Central Lake Ontario Conservation regulates decks, sheds and grading. Bring a survey; fifty-year-old fences wander.
