This warm, well cared for, detached Arts & Crafts home on a tree-lined Beach Hill street with a genuine sense of community. More intimate in scale than some detached homes, it makes smart use of every level with 3 bedrooms, excellent storage throughout & a finished basement that adds flexible living space. East & west facing windows bring in natural light, while hardwood floors, a working wood-burning fireplace & original details add character. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counters, generous storage, a pass-through to the dining room & a window overlooking the back garden. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms & a 4pc bath, plus an unfinished attic for a potential future expansion. Downstairs, extensive built-ins give family life somewhere to put all its gear, alongside a Murphy bed & 3 pc bath - ideal for a playroom, office or overnight guests. Out back, the garden is a standout: a large deck, mature perennial plantings, lawn, winding paths, multiple places to sit & a magnificent mature tree, with no homes directly overlooking the rear. There is even a fun bouldering wall on the side of the garage. Mutual drive & detached 1 car garage. Williamson Park Ravine is across the street, with Fairmount & Monarch Parks nearby and 2 elementary schools with French-language programs within a short walk. Above-average home inspection available. This neighbourhood can't be beaten!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1323/sqft, this property is priced above the The Beaches 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 25 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 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.
About Woodbine Corridor
I know Woodbine Corridor 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: The Beaches properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $6,063 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
