This three-bedroom brick bungalow is well-located for anyone who does a lot of highway commuting, situated just south of Highway 401 in north Etobicoke.

In terms of décor, the home has not seen much in the way of updates in a couple of decades, but it has been well kept and features a large south-facing backyard and an attached double garage.

"The owners had lived there since the early sixties, but it had an incredibly popular layout," listing agent Julie Kinnear says.

"We had five offers the first day. What was really attractive was the large open living room/dining room combination and one of these huge [finished] basements that you'll find in the big ranch houses," Ms. Kinnear says.

Other features include a bright and roomy eat-in kitchen that opens out to the backyard (part of a 45- by 125-foot lot), large picture windows at the front and side of the living/dining room space, and a two-piece en suite off the master bedroom.

The new owners will probably want to begin by updating the original wiring and bathrooms.
