About this home
Welcome to 283 Booth Avenue, a meticulously rebuilt Leslieville charmer tucked away at the quiet end of Jimmie Simpson Park. This is everything you love about Leslieville wrapped into one dream package. Step inside and note a rare sense of tranquility, 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 window a six-seater dining table fits in just right, showcasing sun-dappled views of the park across the street. Handsome white oak stairs (2022) anchor a living area that feels just as relaxing as your favourite cafe. From there, a main floor powder room (yes!) and laundry area precedes the 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); and 240v electrical service to the rear, all done since 2022. 283 Booth is the kind of home where friends will want to pop by to say hello, and where plenty of new family memories will be made.This is Leslieville at its peak, a happy melding of city life and nature that is next to impossible to duplicate anywhere else.

Listed at $1,549,900, this home is about 32% above what comparable homes suggest. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
In South Riverdale lately, sellers have been getting about 105% of asking and homes sell in about 22 days.

How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, sold for $1.20M
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $1.19M
That comparable adjusts to $1.19M; the $1.18M estimate above is the median of all 91 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This estimate is grounded in actual closing prices from the last 15 months, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are still my in-person call.
Its public catchment (Morse Street Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. 250 Carlaw Avenue is about a 3-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.18M, median of 91 comparables.

Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

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.
