Property Description

This incredible, once in a lifetime, vintage Oshawa property simply astounds!

Magnificent is truly the word to use!

Lovingly maintained, thoughtfully updated and mindfully stewarded by the current owner for 40 years, there is a rich Oshawa history attached to the property, which once encompassed acres of land.
