Live steps from the sand. This one-of-a-kind detached home sits across from the Beach, so your mornings start on the boardwalk and your evenings end with sunsets over Lake Ontario. Lake views run through the whole house. The light-filled design feels like a country retreat in the middle of the city.The open-concept living, dining and kitchen area has cathedral wood ceilings, exposed beams, skylights and three bay windows. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the space. The kitchen has quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, and next to it is a cozy family room with built-in shelving and a walkout to the patio. Near the entrance there's a bright study with lake views and a ladder up to a charming loft, ideal for reading, a home office nook or a kids' play space. Upstairs, the primary suite has cathedral ceilings, an ensuite with a jetted soaker tub, a large walk-in closet, and French doors to an oversized deck framed by mature trees. The second bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, a 3-piece ensuite and a private balcony overlooking the lake. A second staircase leads to a large main-floor third bedroom with two entrances, a garden walkout, a nearby bath, a laundry room and a wet bar. That makes it ideal for guests, extended family or a private work-from-home space. There's parking for 4 with an attached 2-car garage and a private double drive, plus central air and generous basement storage.The location is the star. Balmy Beach, Kew Beach and the boardwalk are right outside your door, with four parks and miles of trails close by. Stroll to the shops, cafés, restaurants and boutiques on Queen Street East, or catch the 501 Queen streetcar into downtown. Commuters get quick access to the DVP and Gardiner. This is the classic Beaches lifestyle: walkable, close-knit and on the water.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $7,995/mo, this is asking above the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in The Beaches. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In The Beaches's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in The Beaches 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.
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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
