159 Hillside has a way of calling you home. Perched among the mature trees on one of Mimico's favourite streets, this raised bungalow (with tall basement) sits quietly above it all, the kind of home you don't find so much as arrive at (with your jaw wide open). 2+1 beds, 2 full baths, 2 kitchens, and a ton of warmth and character. Enter through a full-sized mudroom - boots, stroller, life - all taken care of before you step into the open-concept great room. The eat-in kitchen with peninsula and generous living space flow together the way a home should, easy and unhurried. Both bedrooms are a great size with serious storage ability. The bathroom has the size, function, and just the right amount of Kinfolk-cabin-kitsch to make you forget the city exists. Follow the back foyer - desk space, playroom, or simply a moment to breathe - and step out to a massive deck overlooking an even more massive private yard. The kind of yard that makes your friends jealous. Now descend into something that surprises. Large, bright shared laundry and ceilings that just keep going - nearly 8 feet, with ample soundproofing. This one's for you, Mr. Big, who keeps vetoing every house because you can't stand in the basement. Stand here. Comfortably. AND NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT ... behind the laundry door: a lower-level kitchen, bath, and bedroom finished just as well as upstairs, with a separate side entrance for sneaky late-night pizza deliveries - no questions asked. Walk to Mimico GO and TTC, parks, shops restaurants and the famous lake front trails. Hillside has it all.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1350/sqft, this property is priced above the Liberty Village average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Market Position
At 32 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Liberty Village are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
