Leaside Toronto M4G 3X7

Some homes ask you to picture fresh paint and new furniture. This one asks for something bigger. Owned by the same family since the 1960s, this 1944 bungalow - with a second storey added in the 70s - has lived a full life in one of Toronto's most consistently desirable neighbourhoods. Now it's ready for its next chapter, and that chapter will be written entirely by you.This isn't a turnkey home. It's not pretending to be. But don't mistake dated for neglected. The electrical was updated in 2025. Upstairs windows replaced in 2025. Weeping tiles installed in 2010. Attic insulation topped up in 2017. Large living room window replaced in 2017. The expensive, invisible work has already been done - what remains is yours to decide.Sitting on a 31 x 110 foot lot with a private driveway, you've got two distinct paths. The first: gut it and redesign from the inside out - the existing layout is surprisingly functional and worth preserving if you're looking to maximize space while managing construction costs. The second: tear it down and build new. If that's your direction, look no further than the two brand new homes going up just a few doors away to see exactly what this address is capable of.Two blocks west, Northlea Public School - one of the most sought-after French immersion schools in Toronto - with Leaside High School continuing that pathway at the secondary level. Two blocks south, the Eglinton LRT. Eight minutes on foot, Serena Gundy Park: a gateway into the Don Valley Ravine system, kilometres of trails, quiet escapes, and the kind of nature access that's genuinely hard to replicate this close to the city core. For everything else - groceries, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, restaurants along Laird and Eglinton - it's all within easy reach.Leaside lots like this don't surface often. When they do, the neighbourhood does the heavy lifting. The only real question is what you're going to build.
