The Leslieville Home You've Been Waiting For. Welcome to 24 Richard Ave - where thoughtful updates, standout charm, and an unbeatable location come together in one of Leslieville's favourite pockets. This renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi is the definition of move-in ready. With new flooring throughout and two beautifully renovated bathrooms, every inch of this home feels clean and welcoming. The main floor strikes that perfect balance between modern finishes and timeless character, highlighted by a stunning exposed brick wall that adds warmth, texture, and undeniable charm - the kind of feature that instantly makes a house feel like home. The layout is fantastic. Bright, functional, and designed for real life - whether you're hosting friends, unwinding after a long day, or juggling the rhythm of a growing household. Upstairs, the primary bedroom comfortably fits a king-sized bed (yes, actually), giving you the kind of space that's coveted in this style of home. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a dedicated work-from-home setup. Downstairs, the finished basement delivers that extra space everyone wants - perfect for movie nights, playroom, or your own home gym. And then there's the curb appeal... a stunning Magnolia tree out front that turns heads and steals the show every spring. Location? Tough to beat. You're just steps from Greenwood Park - one of the east end's most famous green spaces, featuring a dog park, baseball diamonds, outdoor pool, playground, skating rinks, and a weekly farmer's market that runs from May through October. All this, plus easy access to everything you need on Queen St E, shops and restaurants on Gerrard St E, groceries, and multiple transit options . Updated. Character-filled. Perfectly located.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $908/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Leslieville 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.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 78 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Leslieville. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
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.
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 Leslieville. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
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 $4,163 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
