18 Duke Street

Private, spacious, and full of future potential, this exceptional family home is located on a quiet street in the heart of Old Bowmanville. Set on a large lot backing onto green space and scenic Bowmanville Creek, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, functionality, and redevelopment possibilities. With a second rear driveway already in place, there is excellent potential for additional backyard units or future expansion, making this a fantastic opportunity for families, investors, or multi-generational living. The property features three separate entrances for added flexibility and convenience. The main double driveway accommodates up to 8 vehicles, while the rear driveway provides parking for 3 more and access to a detached 1.5-car garage equipped with a 220-volt outlet - ideal for hobbyists or electric vehicle owners. Offering approximately 1,900 sq ft of living space, including a two-storey addition completed in 1998, the home features a spacious eat-in kitchen updated in 2022, a huge laundry room, a mudroom, a powder room, a dedicated office, and a bright living room with a walkout to the deck and backyard. An additional versatile room currently used as a gym/media room could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs offers three generous bedrooms and an updated four-piece bathroom, with individual A/C units in each bedroom for personalized comfort. Most windows and exterior doors were updated in 1998, with vinyl siding replaced in 1999; a gas furnace was updated in 2018, and a hot water tank was replaced in 2017. A side entrance provides direct basement access, and a full crawl space lies beneath the addition. The private backyard retreat is surrounded by mature cedars and features a stone patio, 15' pool, protected garden, and a newer shed. All just steps to downtown Bowmanville, schools, parks, shopping, and minutes to Hwy 401.
