Welcome to 20 Connaught Ave. A rental that offers something that can be hard to find in Leslieville: a full house! An open-concept main floor is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen includes a gas range and the dining room opens directly onto a back deck with a generous green backyard. The backyard will have you ready for BBQ season, gives you an oasis to sit and enjoy a glass of wine after work, or space to let the dog burn off some energy (we're pet friendly). Two bedrooms upstairs, plus a flexible den space, is perfect for those who WFH or just need a little extra space. Outside, everything that makes Leslieville one of Toronto's favourite neighbourhoods is within easy reach. Neighbourhood cafés, breweries, restaurants, transit, and everyday conveniences are all just a short stroll away. Some notable favourites: Tatsuros, Holi Taco, Osteria Tulia, Lambos Deli, Rorschach Brewing and if you like concerts, History is nearby! While this home is in urban Leslieville, you'll be surrounded by nature too. One minute you're grabbing dinner on Queen St East, the next you're walking through Greenwood Park, browsing the Sunday Farmers' Market or maybe spending the afternoon at Woodbine Park playing volleyball on the beach. Need to head farther? Lake Shore Blvd, the DVP, and multiple TTC routes make getting around effortless. *Extras* City street parking is available, pet friendly home, city utilities included (water, garbage), BBQ and deck umbrella included. Tenant pays Hydro, gas & tenant's insurance.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fairly Priced Rental
At $3,350/mo, this is in line with typical 3-bedroom rents in Leslieville (~$3,500/mo). The rent itself may be firm, but there's often room to negotiate on lease terms — move-in date, appliance inclusions, or parking.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Leslieville'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 Leslieville 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.
