Description

Welcome to 283 Booth Avenue, everything you love about Leslieville wrapped into one dream package. A meticulously rebuilt charmer tucked away at the quiet end of Jimmie Simpson Park, it's the kind of home where friends will want to pop by to say hello, and where priceless family memories will be made. Step inside and a sense of stillness is apparent, because not only were the floors fully updated in 2022, but the subfloors as well, right down to the joists. This means no loud creaks or wonky spots, just a solid step underfoot. At the west facing dining room window a six-seater table fits in just right, showcasing sun-dappled picture frame views of the park across the street. Handsome white oak stairs (2022) anchor a living area that feels just as breezily relaxing as your favourite cafe. From there, a main floor powder room (yes!) and laundry area precedes a very smartly laid out kitchen, a goldilocks arrangement where space and storage are abundunt and yet everything remains within reach. Walk out to a cottage-worthy backyard, a majestic canopy of trees overlooking a spacious deck and winding garden path. From morning coffee to evening barbecuing-what more could one ask for? The deep 115 foot lot means that the 2-car parking (yes!) feels neatly tucked away. Upstairs a king bed friendly primary bedroom faces west over the park, along with two good-sized secondary bedrooms and a crisp and clean bathroom. Trees and greenery form the view in all directions. Downstairs is your ideal rec room space, with ample storage and additional laundry. The nuts and bolts of the house have been carefully attended to, with new furnace, AC, and tankless water heater (all owned); new siding (at both rear and side); new roofing above the porch, and 240v electrical service to the rear, all done since 2022. This is Leslieville at its peak, a happy melding of city life and nature that is next to impossible to duplicate anywhere else.
