Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a desirable Toronto neighbourhood, this well-loved semi-detached home offers a rare setting with incredible potential. Backing directly onto expansive greenspace and the Lambton Golf & Country Club, the home enjoys a peaceful natural backdrop that makes the backyard feel like it goes on forever. Lovingly held by the same family since new, this is a home filled with history and ready for its next chapter. The main floor features a spacious living and dining room, original hardwood floors and a kitchen overlooking the backyard and beautiful setting beyond. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, along with two additional bedrooms and a 4-piece bath. One of the bedrooms previously housed a kitchen, offering interesting possibilities for buyers looking for a flexible layout. The lower level adds even more usable space with a rec room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom, home office, playroom or cozy den. With solid bones, a great layout and plenty of opportunity to make it your own, this is a home with exciting potential in a truly special setting. A detached one-car garage adds even more value. Surrounded by nature yet remarkably connected, enjoy easy access to the Humber River trail system, Lambton Park, Smythe Park, Summerhill Market, transit, schools and shopping. Bloor West Village and The Junction are also within easy reach, offering an incredible selection of shops, restaurants and local favourites. Convenient access to Hwy 401 and Pearson Airport makes getting around the city and beyond easy, while the future Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will bring even more transit connectivity with a new station planned at Scarlett Road and Eglinton Avenue West.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $795/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Keelesdale'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 Keelesdale 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 Rockcliffe-Smythe
I know Rockcliffe-Smythe 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: Keelesdale properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $3,646 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
