Terrific opportunity to acquire a solid-brick detached 4+1 bedroom property on a 25 X 100 ft level lot with parking in an ideal Beach location, close to good schools and convenient to all the amenities the Beach has to offer, including the many cafes & shoppes of nearby Kingston Rd. Nestled among the fine homes of this sought-after family friendly enclave, this century home has been lovingly maintained and cherished by its long-time owner of over 40 yrs. The welcoming front porch beckons you into the bright & airy home, where natural light streams through the multiple windows, with traditional leaded glass adorning the front windows. The formal living & dining rooms boast hardwood flooring and original french doors with oak wood trim. The kitchen could use a renovation update, perhaps even removing a wall and opening it up to the dining room would make this floor even brighter. Enjoy morning coffee in the terrific insulated solarium overlooking the tranquil private backyard garden, with walkout to the large stone patio and detached garage (fits small vehicle and perfect for storage). The 2nd floor offers nicely sized bedrooms, with hardwood flooring and large windows; laundry closet; and 4-pc bathroom. Perhaps even combine the nursery and back bedroom, thereby creating a marvellous large primary bedroom with ensuite. The finished lower level with extra bedroom & side door entrance to the mutual driveway provides extra space for a growing family, or perhaps convert to a second suite for extra income. The original laundry facilities are still in place if needed. The mechanicals are all in good shape, including the electrical wiring and breaker panel updated (200 amp). A Pre-list home inspection is available via email from the listing agent. The house is easily in move-in condition, giving the savvy Buyer an opportunity to explore further renovation ideas and options when ready. Don't miss this location & incredible opportunity. Quick closing available. Welcome Home!

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1090/sqft, this property is priced in line with current The Beaches 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 The Beaches'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 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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in The Beaches.
About The Beaches
I know The Beaches 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 $4,996 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
