Uxbridge, Pickering homes feature in most expensive homes sold in Durham Region last month

A classic country estate just walking distance from the historic town of Uxbridge was the priciest property sold in Durham Region last month, with the five-bedroom home changing hands for $2.9 million.

The 25-acre property on Concession Road 5 in the Fawks Nest Country Estates could be a steal for the new owners, with the selling price $350,000 under asking. The home listed for $3.5 million in June, with the price lowered to $3.25 million the next month to try and entice a sale.

The deal closed September 17.
