Welcome to 1 Bayford Ave, a beautifully renovated 1,000 sq ft bungalow that perfectly blends modern style with everyday functionality. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms and has been extensively updated within the last five years and meticulously maintained, this turn-key home is ready to welcome its next chapter. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed open-concept main floor centered around a stunning kitchen, complete with a large centre island that's made for entertaining, casual family meals, and morning coffee alike. Whether you're hosting weekend dinners or weekday gatherings, this space brings everyone together in style. The fully finished basement adds incredible versatility, offering a full washroom, a separate entrance, and a rough-in for a kitchen, making it ideal for conversion into an in-law suite, nanny accommodation, or potential income-generating space. The flexibility this lower level provides is a rare and valuable feature for today's multi-generational families and savvy buyers. Set on an exceptional 51 x 123 ft lot, the outdoor potential here is truly remarkable. With a generous footprint that's increasingly hard to find in the city, the backyard is a blank canvas awaiting your landscape vision, whether that's a lush garden retreat, an entertainer's patio, a pool, or future expansion possibilities (subject to permits). Major updates provide peace of mind, including a roof replaced in 2016 and furnace replaced in 2013, complementing the recent top-to-bottom renovations throughout the home. Located in a desirable Toronto neighbourhood with easy access to transit, schools, parks, shopping, and major routes, 1 Bayford Ave offers the rare combination of a move-in-ready home, an oversized lot, and exceptional in-law suite potential, all in one outstanding package.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1641/sqft, this property is priced above the Downsview 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 Downsview'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 Downsview 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.
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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Downsview properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,788 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
