Fantastic opportunity for a short term lease in the heart of Davisville. Oversized, renovated semi is the perfect space for those who are on a sabbatical, or renovating in the neighbourhood and would like a space close to home. This extra-wide semi has the space and feel of a detached home, with plenty of room for family life. The main floor is bright and welcoming, with a spacious living room featuring custom built-ins and a decorative fireplace, plus a renovated kitchen with a large island, plenty of storage and a sunny breakfast nook. There's also a powder room and clever storage tucked under the stairs. The sunny family room at the back is where you'll want to spend your time, with a walkout to a great backyard, with plenty of space for entertaining friends and the kids to play. The second floor has hardwood throughout and holds 3 generous bedrooms, the principal bedroom has large double closets with organizers. Extra large second bedroom with closet over looks the front garden, and the third bedroom has a custom built-in bed and desk. Lower level offers plenty of space with high ceilings, a fourth bedroom or home office, rec room, laundry, bathroom and tons of storage. All this in a fantastic neighbourhood, close to Maurice Cody PS, the best of Bayview and Mount Pleasant, and all the everyday amenities that make family life here so easy. Ideally available for a shorter-term lease through July or August, with some flexibility for the right tenant. The home can also be rented partially furnished or unfurnished.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $5,500/mo, this is asking above the typical 4-bedroom rent of ~$4,200/mo in Leaside. 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 Leaside'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 Leaside 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 Leaside. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
