Welcome to your new home at 11 Connaught Street, a beautifully updated century home in the heart of Oshawa’s highly desirable O’Neill neighbourhood. With its classic Georgian architecture, centre hall plan, and sophisticated modern upgrades, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached home offers the perfect balance of character and comfort for a growing family.
Offering 1,450 square feet of above-grade living space, plus a 725 square foot finished basement with separate entrance and a 320 square foot detached garage, this home delivers the space and flexibility families need.
The main floor welcomes you with numerous windows that allow light to envelope every corner of the home. At first glance you will see the new engineered natural oak hardwood floors (2024), and the classic wooden centre staircase. The spacious living room invites you to unwind by the decorative fireplace, watch a movie with the kids or just enjoy a cozy evening inside! It also offers direct access to your own backyard sanctuary (as you will see, no stairs included). Love to host? The adjacent dining room is the perfect set up for your dinner parties or game nights. The dining room flows right into the renovated kitchen (2024), which features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, updated cabinetry (full ceiling height), custom brass hardware, and zellige tile backsplash. It’s elevated in its design as well as practical—with thoughtful touches like a new dishwasher, range hood, and faucet.
Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, all with new hardwood oak flooring, ample closet space and large windows. The primary suite is not to be missed with built-in double closets & custom organizers, a fully remodeled 4-piece ensuite (2020) with a deep tub, standalone subway tile shower, Pottery Barn lighting, and elegant brass finishes—giving you the perfect primary retreat. There is also a full 3-piece bathroom for all your guests/the other two bedrooms.
Downstairs, the finished basement offers you flexibility and versatility. Some highlights include: new luxury vinyl plank floors (2023), a cozy gas fireplace, a fully updated 3-piece bathroom, large rec room/playroom, stairs & railings recently refreshed (2024) and a dedicated laundry area with a new washer (2023). Keep in mind, with its own separate entrance, this level could be perfect for a guest suite or future in-law suite!
Outdoor Living You’ll Love
Venture out to your private backyard retreat, complete with your cedar deck and covered patio area (2023), the perfect space for those fun family evenings.

A widened driveway (2025) accommodates two vehicles (will be fully paved by end of August), and the laneway beside the garage (used daily by the current owners) provides additional parking convenience. There is also a discreet garbage/recycling area, which helps keep your outdoor space neat and critter-free.
