533 Hillsdale Avenue E, Toronto C10

Space, privacy and a south-facing backyard, steps from everything in Davisville Village. This classic three-bedroom house is leased as one home, within the Maurice Cody Junior Public School catchment, with Hodgson Middle School and Northern Secondary School to follow. Most errands are an easy walk. The shops, cafés and restaurants on Bayview and Mount Pleasant are close by, and Line 5 Eglinton is just to the north, with connections to Line 1 for a quick commute downtown. The main floor has the character people come to Davisville Village for: leaded glass windows, gumwood trim and dental crown moulding. French doors join the living and dining rooms, and a second set opens to the deck and backyard. The kitchen is bright, with granite counters and a tiled backsplash. Upstairs are three bedrooms with oak floors, the main bathroom and two linen closets. The finished lower level has a rec room that works as a TV room, home office or gym, plus a second bathroom and a private laundry room, with access from the side entrance. Outside, a covered front porch, rear deck and long, sunny south-facing backyard give you room to unwind. There's a storage shed, and the Napoleon gas barbecue stays. Parking on the front pad is shared with the neighbouring house. A house to settle into, with the best of Davisville Village close by.
