***LEASED***955 Lancaster is a lovely and well-maintained Mattamy-built Lindsay model, with 3-bedrooms and 1717 square feet. It's located on a quiet, safe and friendly street in the award-winning Hawthorne Village community. The house is on an extra wide and deep lot, with a backyard measuring about 50% wider than the standard size. There has been extensive landscaping done outside the house, and the mature trees and east location are a welcomed change from the far west with dust balls and no grass. The yard is simply fantastic, with a built-in barbecue and kitchenette on the deck in the far left corner of the yard. There are garden lights, and it's a marvelous place to relax after a long day at the office.

Inside the home, there's a combined living and dining room to the left hand side, and down the hall is the open concept kitchen with a breakfast area, which opens to the family room. All of the floors are engineered wood and ceramic, so they're very pet friendly. The owner has a large dog, and they've been easy to maintain and clean. Also on this level are the powder room and an inside entry from the garage, which makes bringing in groceries and other supplies a breeze.

Upstairs there are three-bedrooms, including the master bedroom with an ensuite, and two other bedrooms which share the second full bathroom. The floors are berber, with soft cushy underpad, and there are plenty of upgrades, including wainscotting, central vacuum and solid wood sliding doors in the hallway.

The owner is looking for somebody to care for the house the same way she has, and she's willing to leave the house furnished for an extra $200 per month. She will be using the area by the furnace for storage while she's gone, and she's also open to pets living in the home during the lease. Shorter than one year will be considered, but one year is preferred. The tenant will pay for all utilities, and the home will come with all appliances, including the fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer and two deep freezers.

If you're looking for a house you can lease and be really proud to invite friends over for a visit, then this is the home for you. It's completely move-in ready, with fantastic neighbours (and a really amazing landlord) and unbeatable curb appeal. So act now before it's gone.
