Welcome to 55 Petman Avenue, a rare detached home that feels like a true retreat in the heart of Davisville Village. From the moment you step through the door, the warmth of the hardwood floors and the airy, high ceilings make the space feel open and inviting. It's the kind of main floor where a quiet morning coffee in the living room feels just as right as a lively dinner with friends in the formal dining area. The heart of the home is the bright, sun-filled eat-in kitchen. It's a perfect spot for family meals, and it overlooks a cozy family room that leads directly out to the backyard. This private,150ft deep tree-lined oasis is a rare find in the city and perfect for those who value their outdoor space. Upstairs, the home offers three generously sized bedrooms. The primary suite is a standout, designed as a peaceful sanctuary with impressive proportions and two separate walk-in closets-a luxury for any wardrobe. Large windows throughout the second floor flood the rooms with natural light, highlighting the home's thoughtful craftsmanship. The basement has two bedrooms, a rec room and a walk-out to the backyard. You're just a short stroll from the local boutiques and favourite cafes along Mount Pleasant and Bayview, TTC and within the sought-after Maurice Cody school catchment. This is more than just a lease; it's a chance to settle into a spacious, beautifully finished home in one of Toronto's most beloved neighbourhoods.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $7,450/mo, this is asking above the typical 4-bedroom rent of ~$4,200/mo in Leaside. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 71 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Leaside. 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 Leaside 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 Leaside.
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.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
