63 Walkerton Drive, Markham

From the outside, this may just look like a beautifully maintained home with a welcoming front porch, charming bay window, and a larger-than-average pie-shaped lot on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Markham's most sought-after school districts. Steps to plazas, restaurants, Markville Mall for a little retail therapy, just moments to Milne Dam Conservation Park when you need a nature fix. But walk inside, and this home goes from a 10/10 to a 15/10.
