- REAL ESTATE HOMEWARD
There are only 25 homes that back directly onto Withrow Park. Of those 25, only 6 offer true three-storey living, with full-height ceilings on the top floor. Of those 6, just 2 neighbour the Erica Stark Parkette. And of those 2, only 1 has been completely transformed through a thoughtful $1 million renovation and addition. Welcome to 204 Bain. Offered for the first time in 25 years, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity. Fully reimagined in 2019 every decision was made with longevity, functionality, and family life in mind. Featuring 4+1 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms including the coveted main floor powder room, and a lower level with heated hydronic floors, the calibre, scale, and quality of this renovation must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. But what makes this home truly special cannot be measured in square footage, ceiling height, or investment. Within these walls, three children grew into adults. This home has quietly witnessed birthday candles being blown out, graduations celebrated, anniversaries toasted, and countless everyday moments that ultimately become life's most meaningful memories. It has held joy, comfort, grief, growth, and all the emotion that accompanies a deeply lived and deeply loved life. And now, for the first time in a quarter century, the current owners are ready to pass this home on to its next chapter. To have Withrow Park as an extension of your backyard and Erica Stark Parkette next door is a gift in itself - the kind of setting where childhoods unfold, neighbours become lifelong friends, and the years somehow feel both endless and fleeting all at once.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1393/sqft, this property is priced above the Leslieville 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 Leslieville'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 Leslieville 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 Leslieville.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Leslieville properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $8,704 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
