THINGS TO LOVE IN OUR SELLER’S WORDS

• We’re located on a beautiful, tree-lined, one-way street in the heart of vibrant Leslieville community.
• It’s nestled half way between Queen and Dundas and close to transit in either direction.
• We love that neighbours greet each other and kids can play on the sidewalk.
• This is also a community that also loves dogs!
• The best cinnamon buns in the city at the end of the street. You can smell them baking on the weekend.
• You’re minutes to Greenwood Park which hosts the iconic Leslieville farmers market.
• The neighbourhood comes alive in the summer and there’s a great energy in the air.
• Our favourite time of the year in this neighbourhood is fall with the changing leaves. The trees are stunning and so are the Halloween decorations! There’s a friendly rivalry between neighbours to see who can out-do Halloween decorations. We also have a Halloween walk where the younger kids meet up and have a parade in their costumes – this was started during Covid and became a new tradition.
• The best time of the day is early morning as you wake up to birds chirping. The primary bedroom is east facing so there’s tons of sunlight that streams in.
• A close second is evening. The deck is west facing so you get beautiful sunsets and it’s a great place to enjoy dinner alfresco or unwind with a glass of wine or a beer.
• We love our garden and used the services of a professional landscaper to ensure we have plants that thrive in this neighbourhood. We’ve enjoyed peonies in the spring and hydrangeas in the summer. We were even awarded a community gardening award for showstopper peonies!
• The back garden is a little oasis and the star is the Magnolia tree. Simply stunning in the springtime!
• Our home is a classic Leslieville semi, but look a little closer and you’ll see that we’ve been intentional with carving out storage spaces:
  • Large wardrobe in the primary bedroom along with a double sized linen closet on the top floor.
  • Under-stair storage in the basement and hidden cubby leading to basement – perfect for wine or spirits.
  • Custom built banquet with storage on deck.
  • Insulated, dry storage beneath the enclosed porch.
  • Insulated, dry storage beneath the play room.
  • The entire deck has storage beneath with multi point access.
  • The garden shed beside parking pad is perfect for bikes and garden tools.
