23 Southway Drive, Clarington, ON L1C 1C4

Property Description

Set on a quiet street in one of Bowmanville's most established neighbourhoods, 23 Southway Dr offers the rare combination of a mature, walkable location and a home with genuine long-term versatility. This well-maintained all-brick bungalow has clearly been cared for. The main level offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a practical, single-storey layout that suits a young family, a couple starting out, or anyone who values the ease of one-level living. The finished lower level, accessed through its own separate entrance, extends the usable space considerably and opens the door to a range of possibilities, from a private in-law suite for parents or adult children to a potential secondary unit generating rental income that helps carry the mortgage. The oversized driveway accommodates multiple vehicles with ease, and the generous backyard provides a private, green setting for gardening, entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. For first-time buyers weighing a condominium against a freehold home, the advantages are clear: no monthly maintenance fees, no shared walls, your own land, and the flexibility to adapt the home as life changes. The surrounding neighbourhood completes the picture. Historic downtown Bowmanville, with its independent shops, cafes and restaurants, is an easy walk or bike ride away. Memorial Park and the Soper Creek trail system are minutes from the front door, and the Lake Ontario waterfront at Port Darlington is a short drive south. St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School is steps away, with Duke of Cambridge Public School and Bowmanville High School close by. Lakeridge Health Bowmanville is nearby, Highway 401 and 418 are quickly accessible, Durham Region Transit serves the area, and the Bowmanville GO Train extension now under construction will further strengthen the connection to the GTA.
