While the Toronto real estate market might be back to its usual shenaningans, if you venture a little further out into the GTA there are some pretty cool properties that won't break the bank. 

Take this house in Brampton that's giving total cottage vibes.

36 Hector Court is a beautiful 3+1 bedroom, two-bathroom detached home that offers the cozy comforts of country living but with all the benefits of being close to Bramalea City Centre.
