{STEP INSIDE} Welcome to this freehold semi-detached home in New Toronto, where the big-ticket updates are already done. The newly renovated main floor features new flooring, an improved open-concept layout connecting the living room and kitchen, plus updated heating and A/C. Enjoy your own backyard, a rare neighbourhood bonus with the detached garage, and the added value of freehold ownership with no condo fees. {MAIN LEVEL} Vinyl flooring runs from the foyer through the living room, dining rm, kitchen & mudroom for one continuous, low-maintenance surface. Living rm and dining rm have their own windows, so the space stays bright. Kitchen is set up to cook in: stainless steel fridge, stove, range & oversized hood, sink at the window. Main flr laundry with washer, dryer & laundry tub means no hauling loads upstairs. Mudroom gives direct access to the backyard, the natural path in & out. 2pc powder rm for guests. {UPPER LEVEL} Primary bdrm & 2nd bdrm both have their own mini split a/c plus baseboard heat, so each rm controls its own comfort instead of fighting the rest of the house for it. Walk-in closet off primary could stay a closet or become a home office/Play Pen. The Den offers flexible work-from-home setup without giving up a bdrm. 4pc bath finishes the flr with ceramic flooring throughout. {LOCATION} Located in New Toronto, a walkable stretch of South Etobicoke's Lakeshore community. Islington Jr Middle School (TDSB, JK-8) is nearby, along with Lakeshore Collegiate Institute (secondary) & St. Elizabeth Catholic School (TCDSB). Lake Shore Blvd W is a short walk for shops, cafes & restaurants, & Colonel Samuel Smith Park with its waterfront trail along Lake Ontario is close enough for a regular routine, not just a weekend trip. TTC's 501 Queen streetcar runs along Lake Shore, Mimico GO Station is nearby for downtown commuters, & the Gardiner Expwy & Hwy 427 are both within easy reach.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $913/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Liberty Village market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Liberty Village'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 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.
About New Toronto
I know New Toronto well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Liberty Village properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,663 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
