50 Highfield Rd, East York - Semi-Detached Home

Description

The space of a family home with the energy of Leslieville right outside your door. This character-filled home has been thoughtfully improved to make every part of it genuinely usable. Hardwood floors, updated lighting and an easy, comfortable flow set the tone on the main level, including a family room just off the kitchen that's fully insulated with heated floors. It could be an ideal work-from-home space overlooking the backyard. Upstairs, the bedrooms are complemented by custom built-in closets in the primary bedroom and hallway, adding the kind of storage that's always at a premium in a Toronto home. Downstairs is where this property really separates itself. The basement was completely renovated, underpinned and dug down to approximately 8-ft ceilings with permits, then waterproofed. Heated floors, a wet bar and built-in shelving make it feel like a true extension of the home rather than an afterthought. Outside, the fenced backyard combines a thriving garden, interlocking stone and low-maintenance artificial lawn, plus a storage shed, creating an inviting outdoor space without a long list of weekend chores. Important improvements include the roof, A/C, refinished main-floor hardwood, newer dishwasher and washer/dryer, updated front entry door and light fixtures throughout. And then there's Leslieville itself: great schools and parks, TTC close at hand, neighbourhood restaurants and grocery stores, recreation, pickleball and the waterfront all within easy reach. Thoughtfully updated, incredibly functional and designed to make city living easier, this is a home with character, flexibility and the kind of neighbourhood lifestyle that keeps people in Leslieville for the long haul.
