Welcome to The Pocket - A True Family Home in one of Toronto's most Coveted East End Communities. Freshly painted, solid brick construction, a traditional floor plan, and a location that families actively seek out - this detached 4-bedroom home checks every box. Set on a quiet street in the beloved Pocket neighbourhood, it offers the kind of thoughtful layout that simply works for everyday family life. The main floor features a generous principal living room and a formal dining room - distinct, defined spaces ideal for both relaxed evenings and entertaining. The galley kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, and opens directly to the backyard through a convenient walk-out, making summer barbecues effortless. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms share a 4-piece bathroom. The finished basement extends the home's living potential considerably, offering a 3-piece bathroom, a dedicated laundry area with sink, ample storage including a large cold cellar, and - a rare find - a private side entrance, perfect for multigenerational living or guests. But perhaps the most coveted feature of all is the school catchment. Families in The Pocket enjoy access to Wilkinson Junior Public School (JK-6), Earl Grey Senior Public School, and Riverdale Collegiate Institute (9-12) - a seamless, highly regarded pathway from kindergarten through graduation. Three French-language school options round out an exceptional educational landscape. Step outside and the neighbourhood rewards you further. Phin Avenue Parkette, The Pocket Tiny Forest, Felstead Avenue Playground, Oakvale Green Community Gardens and Kempton Howard Park are all close at hand - whether you're walking the dog on a quiet weekday morning or spending a full afternoon with the kids, the Pocket is a community that has earned its positive reputation, and this home is your opportunity to be apart of it.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1856/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.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 82 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.
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.
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 $5,413 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
