Spacious Home in Leslieville — 3BR, 2BA, Furnished, Backyard & Parking

Description

Welcome to our family home in one of Toronto's most beloved east-end neighbourhoods. Leslieville and Riverdale offer an ideal mix of urban convenience and genuine community feel — tree-lined streets, exceptional walkability, great cycling infrastructure, and easy access to transit. We've lived here without a car for years, preferring to cycle or transit to our jobs downtown. It's a convenient streetcar ride or bike ride to all downtown universities (University of Toronto, Toronto Metropolitan University or OCAD University.) The house sits on a quiet dead-end street — no through traffic, safe for kids, and genuinely peaceful — while still being steps from everything you'd need day-to-day. The home: Generously sized detached, with room to breathe - 3 bedrooms, well-suited to a family with children, a couple with workspace needs, or visiting researchers - We outfit two of the bedrooms as home offices right now, but can set it up for you in whatever way works best for your situation. - Open-concept main floor, great for both everyday life and entertaining - Recently updated, very functional kitchen that is very well outfitted for anyone who loves to cook. - 2 full bathrooms (one upstairs and one in basement) - Fully furnished — arrive and settle in from day one - Private backyard with barbeque, back porch, a beautiful pollinator garden – a rare city find, perfect for kids, summer dinners, or quiet mornings - Dedicated fenced in parking space included; street permit available for a second car if needed The neighbourhood: - Elementary and high school — under 5 minutes' walk - Grocery store, hardware store, Walmart in Gerrard Square — under 5 minutes' walk - Many gyms and parks — under 5 minutes' walk - Walking distance to three of Toronto's best streets: Gerrard St and the popular Gerrard/Jones strip, Queen Street East and the Danforth - Greenwood Park nearby — outdoor skating in winter, outdoor pool and the Leslieville Farmers Market in summer - Local community centre and pool for classes, swimming lessons for kids and other family programming – under 5 minutes walk - Multiple TTC routes nearby; quick downtown connections - Short bike ride or drive to Woodbine Beach and the waterfront This is a home that feels lived-in and loved, in a neighbourhood where people tend to put down roots. Whether you're on sabbatical, on assignment, or simply relocating to Toronto for the year, we hope it gives you and your family a genuine home base in the city. Available for a one-year furnished rental. We welcome academics, professionals, and families who will treat this as their home. References required.
