4 bedroom homes in Mississauga

The Erin Mills and Meadowvale four-bedrooms of the 1970s and 80s give you a formal living room, a dining room, a separate family room with a fireplace, a double garage and a primary bedroom with a small ensuite. Their weak spots are the original windows, the kitchen size and, in some phases, aluminum wiring. The 1990s houses in Central Erin Mills, East Credit and Hurontario grew the kitchen into an eat-in space open to the family room, added a main-floor laundry and often a walk-in closet, and they sit on frontages of about 36 to 45 feet. The 2000s streets of Churchill Meadows and Lisgar deliver nine-foot main-floor ceilings, larger ensuites and double-door entries, on frontages that can be 30 feet or less with a garage that takes up much of the front. Lorne Park and Mineola supply the custom four-bedrooms on wide lots, where the price reflects the land as much as the house.

Check how the listing counts. A fourth bedroom in the basement sometimes gets folded into the total, so confirm how many are above grade and whether each has a closet and a window that meets the code. Look at the bathroom count against the bedroom count: four bedrooms sharing one main bath is a compromise for a family of six. Find out the roof's age and the furnace's, whether the garage is a true double or a tandem, and how the backyard sits against neighbours, since the newer streets have shorter rear yards. In Erin Mills and Meadowvale, verify whether the electrical panel was updated and whether the windows were replaced. Then have the team pull the sold history on the same model within the subdivision.
