About this home
The Hills may have eyes, but Hillside has LEGS! And would you just look at them? Perched among the mature trees on one of Mimico's favourite streets, this raised bungalow doesn't wait for you to find it - it reaches out and snatches you right from your car. 2+1 beds, 2 full baths, 2 kitchens, and a personality that could headline its own feature film. Enter through a full-sized mudroom, because even scary awesome houses need somewhere to put boots and the stroller. Step into the open-concept great room where the eat-in kitchen with peninsula and generous living space coexist in perfect harmony. Both bedrooms are a great size with serious storage. The bathroom has the size, function, and just the right amount of Kinfolk-cabin-kitsch to make you forget you're in the city. Follow the back foyer - desk space, playroom, whatever you need - and escape through the door to a massive deck overlooking an even more massive private yard. The kind of yard that makes the neighbours jealous. Now descend. Large, bright shared laundry. Are those ceilings stretching upward? No. They're just exceptionally high. This one's for you, Mr. Big, who keeps vetoing every house because you can't stand in the basement. Stand here. Comfortably. Under almost 8' ceilings (with ample sound proofing).Behind the laundry door: a lower-level kitchen, bath, and bedroom finished just as well as upstairs, with a separate side entrance for late-night pizza deliveries - no questions asked.Walk to GO and TTC. This house deserves its own movie. It really does have it all.

Walk-Up
Listed at $785,000, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 14 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 14 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $994K, higher than the comparables and worth a second look. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.
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, listed at $1.09M
- Adjusts to $1.09M
That comparable adjusts to $1.09M; the $788K estimate above is the median of all 14 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
The assigned public school is John English Junior Middle School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Royal York Rd at Hillside Ave is about a 3-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
