Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi on a child-friendly street in coveted North Leaside. Set on a deep 25.09 x 131.31 ft lot, this thoughtfully renovated home offers exceptional space for family living, inside and out. The bright, open-concept main floor was renovated in 2017 with a new kitchen and seamless living and dining spaces, ideal for everyday life and entertaining. A true standout is the professionally underpinned and fully renovated basement, a rare find in a Leaside semi with 8-ft ceilings. Completed in 2022 at a cost of $150K, the renovation included interior waterproofing, sump pump, new windows, a 2nd bathroom and spacious full-size laundry room, creating bright and highly functional additional living space. The exterior foundation had also been partially waterproofed by the previous owner. Outside, the deep backyard is designed for families and entertaining, featuring an oversized pressure-treated deck with glass railings, a built-in playground with plenty of room to play, and low-maintenance perennial gardens in both the front and back, with hardwired landscape lighting in the front and back gardens.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1177/sqft, this property is priced above the Don Mills average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Don Mills'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 Don Mills 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 Leaside
I know Leaside 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: Don Mills properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $5,396 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
