This stylish 3 bedroom East York home offers nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of living space, including a separate 1-bedroom lower-level suite with its own entrance – ideal for rental income, in-laws, or flexible single-family living. The main floor blends character with comfort offering a freshly painted living room that features custom built-ins and a fully-functioning wood-burning fireplace. Triple casement windows open onto a charming front porch. Newly updated pine-look floors lead into a dining room with original plate rails, recessed lighting, and smart built-in storage. A pass-through connects to the renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a porcelain hex tile backsplash. At the back of the home, a sun-filled family room with a full wall of windows overlooks a lush yard and walks out to a large deck surrounded by mature trees – perfect for summer hangs. A powder room and laundry nook are cleverly tucked away for convenience. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer original hardwood floors, built-ins, and tons of natural light. A refreshed 4-piece bath serves the second floor. Downstairs, the one-bedroom suite features new appliances, a 4-piece bath, open-concept living/dining, and a separate entrance – yet it can easily reconnect to the main home. Combined, both units have generated over $5,000/month in rental income. Located just steps to Pape Station, the Danforth’s best cafes and restaurants, Withrow Park, it offers quick access to the DVP. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or investor, this is smart city living with major upside.
