About this home
Situated on an exceptionally rare 54-foot wide corner lot in the centre of one of Toronto's most beloved neighbourhoods, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful upgrades and parking for two cars, only steps from Queen St in the Beach. Sun-filled rooms feature bay windows, new hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, creating warm and inviting living spaces across all seasons. A welcoming front porch and classic centre hall plan set the tone for this beautifully restored residence, lovingly updated while preserving its incredible original detail. Offering 2,300 sqft of above-grade living space, the home's generous proportions and large windows are enhanced by high ceilings, creating an airy, expansive feel throughout. The eat-in kitchen and large dining room are designed for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a 4-piece ensuite, plus a 2nd-floor laundry room. A versatile 4th bedroom on the main floor with an adjacent full bathroom is ideal for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. The finished lower level adds 1,150 sqft with 7' ceilings - a comfortable, open feel rarely found in a Beach basement. A large rec room, 2 additional bedrooms and a 4th full bathroom round out this exceptional level. The current owners have invested thoughtfully in the home's future: new roof (2025), heat pump (2022), high-efficiency combi-boiler (2021), window wells / full basement waterproofing with sump pump (2022), and lawn irrigation. Nothing left to do but move in and enjoy. Featuring a fully fenced backyard and backing onto a quiet dead-end lane where neighbours gather and children play. This home is just steps from Queen St's vibrant shops, restaurants, cafés, grocers, and amenities - including a brand new golf simulator around the corner. A short walk to the beach boardwalk and the scenic trails and gardens of Glen Stewart Ravine. A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary Beach home!

Heads up: the asking price here sits well above what comparable listings suggest. That can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look before you offer. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.
Ask Moe if this price is fairOn schools, this address is zoned for Malvern Collegiate Institute, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Queen St East at Wineva Ave East Side is about a 2-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits.
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable.
- Corner lot: more light and frontage, sometimes at the cost of privacy.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
