Set on a quiet street in Peterborough's sought after west end, this spacious 4 bedroom home offers a wonderful blend of space, character, and location. Just steps from popular Roper Park with its playground, tennis courts, green space, and winter skating rink, there's so much to love about this family friendly neighbourhood where kids still ride bikes to the park and neighbours know each other by name. Hardwood floors and a graceful curved staircase welcome you inside, while the bright living and dining spaces overlook the private backyard framed by mature trees and perennial gardens. Enjoy a spacious eat-in kitchen with peaceful backyard views, while the cozy family room with fireplace and walkout to the patio creates the perfect backdrop for relaxed evenings, summer dinners outdoors, or quiet mornings listening to the birds with a coffee in hand. A convenient laundry/mudroom connects directly to the double garage for everyday ease. Up the beautiful staircase, you'll find the rare convenience of 4 bedrooms on one level, including a generous primary suite with walk-in closet and updated ensuite with glass shower. Three additional bedrooms, an updated large 4 pc family bathroom, and a spacious upper landing complete the second floor. The lower level offers outstanding flexibility with a large rec room, additional bedroom, 3 pc bathroom, cold cellar, and storage space, making it ideal for guests, teens, a home office, or in-law potential. Close to Jackson Park trails and cycling paths, and within walking distance to excellent schools including Westmount and St. Catherine, this is a location families rarely outgrow. Lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter, this is a fantastic opportunity to settle into one of Peterborough's most desirable neighbourhoods while adding your own vision over time. Ready for another family to make beautiful memories here for years to come.

How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

The market around this home
Detached houses in Monaghan Ward 2 — 321 sales over the last five years.
How these are built, and what they cannot tell you
Each point is the median of the sales that closed in that quarter among detached houses in monaghan ward 2. A quarter with fewer than eight is left out rather than drawn, and the line breaks where that happens — a median over three sales is really one home’s price, and joining across a gap would draw a number nobody measured.
This is not an estimate of what this home is worth. The segment is a property type in an area; it takes no account of this home’s size, condition, renovations, lot, exposure or how it compares to its neighbours, and half the homes in any quarter sold for more than the median and half for less. It is context for a conversation with an agent, not a valuation.

Percentages are of the 420 responses in this category. Statistics Canada rounds counts and withholds small ones to keep individuals unidentifiable, so categories with too few people to publish are absent rather than shown as zero.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
