This is a charming detached house on Harris Avenue. An ideal home to grow in. It has three well-proportioned bedrooms. Each bedroom is bright and airy. One could bathe in sunlight with the amount of windows in the southern bedroom. The bathroom is a sensible size, with radiant in-floor heating underfoot - the kind of detail you notice every morning in February. Sit on the porch and watch your neighbours stroll by with a pleasant conversation in this nice community. A great-sized backyard with a deck to BBQ on. There is a legitimate parking space with a mutual drive wide enough for a modern car. Rest assured, you do not need to buy a Fiat 500 or a 1970s jalopy to fit! If you choose not to drive, Woodbine Station and Main Station are just a few blocks away. One of Toronto's great secrets is the beauty of Taylor Creek Park. It's incredible how far you can walk, having little idea of how much the city has been hidden from view. East Toronto Coffee Co. is a hidden gem in the neighbourhood. Rolling along the Danforth and picking up fresh fruit and baked goods is wonderful. An essential stop on weekends is the East Lynn Park Farmers' Market. Wazema restaurant offers the best Ethiopian food.If you like golfing, Dentonia Park Golf Course is the place to be. Toronto's East End has so much to discover! If you're into watching the Jays, the Leafs, the Raptors, and TFC, a hot tip is to jump on the GO train from Main Station. Watch the others take the TTC, and you'll beat them by 20 to 40 minutes, no problem. Anyone looking in the million-dollar range in Toronto knows full well how hard it is to find a three-bedroom detached home. Well, here's your answer: it's possible. It's doable. Have a look. We think Harris will charm you, too.

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 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.
Market Position
At 30 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
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.
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: The Beaches 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.
