Enjoy exclusive use of this entire, spacious home on a quiet, picturesque Willowdale street. This deceptively large property features an expansive backyard with no rear neighbours, offering total privacy while backing onto lush greenery. Best of all, you are a short stroll from the Yonge Subway line and the North York Civic Centre's vibrant hub of a pool, library, farmer's market, and outdoor winter skating rink. Inside, the layout opens up into unexpected, sunlit space from large main and lower-level walk-outs. There is so much room here to make your own, including a charming loft you can use as a quiet home office or sweet bedroom. Original character blends with clean updates: refinished hardwoods, a glass staircase, refreshed tile, an enclosed kitchen layout, an improved bathroom, and a pantry. For your convenience, the home includes a brand-new upgraded washer and dryer. There is plenty of space to add your personal touch and settle right in. Short-term lease options will also be considered.

Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fairly Priced Rental
At $3,850/mo, this is in line with typical 4-bedroom rents in Willowdale (~$4,200/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 Willowdale'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 Willowdale 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.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Willowdale. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
About Willowdale West
I know Willowdale West 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.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
