Ready for more space, a backyard, and a community you can truly grow into? Welcome to Bay Ridges - Pickering's most connected waterfront neighbourhood - where you can walk to the GO, spend weekends at the vibrant waterfront, and still enjoy the space, privacy, and outdoor lifestyle that make detached living so desirable. This ideal move-up home is warm and inviting, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and high vaulted ceilings that instantly elevate and enhance the home's airiness.
