8 Knowles St is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom detached house in Central East, Ajax, listed for sale at an asking price of $699,900 (MLS® E14011968).
Think this bungalow is too small? Think again! Don't let the square footage fool you - 8 Knowles Street offers a surprising amount of living space and makes exceptionally smart use of every square foot. Built in 2009, with a new furnace and air conditioner installed in 2024, this detached freehold bungalow features a smart, functional layout highlighted by an impressive 23' x 14' main-floor living room, kitchen with adjoining dining area, generous primary bedroom and 4-piece bath - all on one convenient level. The bright, finished lower level, with above-grade windows, dramatically expands the home's usable living space and features 2 additional bedrooms, a 3-piece bath and spacious recreation/living area with fireplace, plus a separate laundry room, utility room and plenty of storage. It's an exceptionally versatile layout - ideal for downsizers who don't want to give up space, seniors who appreciate having their primary bedroom and full bath on the main floor, couples, families with older children, overnight guests, a home office or extended family. Think of the functionality of a bungaloft, but with a twist - instead of the additional bedrooms being upstairs, they're on the bright lower level, while your primary living needs remain conveniently on the main floor. Situated on an approximately 40' x 90' lot, the home also offers a double car garage and fenced backyard. Conveniently located in an established Ajax neighbourhood close to parks, schools, shopping, transit and everyday amenities. A rare opportunity to enjoy the ease and convenience of bungalow living without sacrificing the extra space you need - 8 Knowles offers much more than meets the eye!
