Welcome to 40 Corley Avenue - this is not your average rental. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in Toronto's sought-after East End, this beautifully presented 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi offers something increasingly hard to find: the space and privacy of a house, multiple outdoor areas and room to actually live. Step through the charming front sunroom into a bright, open-concept living and dining space with hardwood floors, great natural light and an easy flow for entertaining or relaxing at home. The spacious kitchen features quartz counters, full-size appliances, generous cabinetry and a skylight overhead, with a walkout directly to your private fenced backyard and patio - your own outdoor escape in the city. Upstairs, you'll find a generous primary bedroom and second bedroom with a walkout to a private upper balcony, plus a full bathroom and another skylight bringing even more natural light into the home. The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a recreation room, second bathroom and built-in desk - perfect for working from home, movie nights, a gym or additional living space. A large separate laundry room and excellent storage complete the lower level. With approximately 1,579 sq. ft. across three levels, this home offers far more than meets the eye. Steps to the Beach, parks, transit, the Danforth and Leslieville, with some of the East End's best shops, restaurants and neighbourhood amenities close by. A private backyard. An upper balcony. Two bathrooms. Finished lower-level living space. Your own front door. Welcome home to 40 Corley.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
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?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $3,850/mo, this is asking above the typical 2-bedroom rent of ~$2,900/mo in The Beaches. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
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.
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.
About East End-Danforth
I know East End-Danforth 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.
