Nestled on a peaceful, tree-lined street right in the heart of Leslieville, this updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath semi features a smart rear addition that gives you noticeably more living space than most homes nearby. No cramped compromises here. The main floor flows openly with hardwood floors throughout, generous living and dining areas, and a modern kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, stone counters, and a large island. Best of all, there's that coveted main-floor bathroom...because who doesn't appreciate not trekking upstairs during a morning rush? Upstairs, three bedrooms are served by one large, oversized bathroom that's been thoughtfully renovated and feels like a proper upgrade. The basement is the ideal setup for in-laws who "just need a bit of space," visiting friends who linger, or a rental that quietly chips away at your mortgage. With a separate entrance, its own full kitchen, full bath, and a second set of laundry (washer and dryer), things downstairs run very smoothly. Outside you get front and back gardens for a touch of green, plus a detached garage, practically unheard of in this part of town. Steps from transit, great schools, Queen Street's endless cafés and shops, and nearby parks. Move-in ready, no drama, just solid bones and smart details in one of Toronto's most liveable neighbourhoods. Quietly exceptional.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $927/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 87 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.
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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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 $5,792 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
