360 Highside Drive

There are many ways you can be impressed by 360 Highside Drive.

The location is ideal, on a quiet street just a few doors down from a school.  There are Escarpment views from the kitchen, and there’s great access to downtown Milton, the Go station, and the highway within a few minutes drive.

The home has more than 2,500 square feet of living area (1,500+ upstairs, plus the lower level with another 1,000 square feet).

Originally, the home was the same model as the one across the street, but since moving in, the current owners have redone absolutely everything about this home.They added an addition, TONS of insulation in the interior, exterior, and renovated this home completely.

The electricity has been upgraded to 200 amps underground, with all new wiring, plus new plumbing, a top-quality air filter and water softener that needs no salt.

Three full washrooms are all upgraded, and there’s an insulated tandem double garage with another 500 square feet of space.  There’s also a 220V circuit, and the rough-in has been done for a compressor or an electric vehicle charger.

Prepare to be impressed when you visit – we wrote four pages of notes with some of the features of this home (see below).  Over the years, you’ll continue to fall in love with the friendly, mature neighbourhood close to everything you could ever need for many years to come.
