About this home
Welcome to 253 Silverbirch Drive! A fantastic opportunity to own a detached home with a VACANT, LEGAL two-bedroom basement apartment on a quiet, established street in Newmarket! Offering 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, plus a fully separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom basement apartment, this home offers the flexibility to accommodate extended family, generate rental income, or simply enjoy additional living space. The basement apartment features its own private side entrance off the driveway, and both units have their own laundry facilities for added convenience and independence.

Freshly painted with new kitchen flooring in 2026, this home is ready for its next chapter. Move in and enjoy it as it is, or bring your own style and cosmetic updates over time, knowing that many of the important improvements have already been completed. Located in a quiet, established neighbourhood close to schools, parks, shopping and everyday amenities, this property offers a wonderful combination of practical living, income potential and room to make it your own. A great opportunity for homeowners and investors alike!
