This is Beach living. A generous front porch welcomes you to this 5-bedroom home on desirable Elmer Avenue. Ticking a lot of boxes on your wish list, this deceptively large family home retains classic Beach character and accents, but has the warmth, space and opportunity for a family now and looking to the future. Lovely high ceilings on the main floor open into nearly 2500 sq feet of finished living space, including an oversize Main Floor family room with cathedral ceiling where it feels like cottage life is the every day. Entertain family, friends or the kids after school with the generous-sized Chef's kitchen with plenty of storage, all Stainless appliances and Quartz countertops. Main floor 2-piece bath. The wood-burning fireplace in the Living Room could make for a perfect cozy staycation. On the second floor, three bedrooms include a Primary with its own walk-in closet. The spa-inspired Marble-tiled main bath has separate shower and soaker tub. Loads of potential in the finished attic - one or two bedrooms in tandem with its own 3 piece ensuite bath. Great height in the Basement which doesn't sacrifice storage for finished space - you get both! The low-maintenance rear yard leads to a rare Detached 2-Car Garage off a public laneway with it's own set of possibilities. Recent updates include Roof October 2021, Navien Combination Tankless Boiler/HWT (owned) Nov 2025. Property also features Back flow valve protector, newer Sump pump (in rear extension), copper water line from street.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $950/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.
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.
