If you don’t want to be limited by the rules and lack of outdoor space of a cramped Toronto condo, but the commitment of a full-on house seems like a lot, I’ve found that Goldilocks of a property with your name on it.
Meet 35 Kenworthy Ave.
Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac just off the Danforth, this one-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow is like the best of both worlds.
The front entrance.
Set on an impressive 20 by 137-foot lot, this small but charming home is ideal for anyone looking for more yard than house.
The living room.
And that’s not to belittle the house. I mean, yes, it is only 800 square feet, but it packs a punch.
The dining area which opens to the backyard.
The main floor features a living room, kitchen, dining room, and bedroom.
The living room has enough space for a full sectional.
The living room is bright and surprisingly spacious.
The kitchen.
The kitchen could maybe use some updates, the appliances are on the older side, and the backsplash and cabinets have seen better days.
The bedroom.
The only bedroom is big enough to fit a queen-size bed.
The basement.
There’s more room in the basement with a bathroom, family room and laundry facilities.
The backyard.
But let’s be honest, it’s really the land that’s the true prize here.
One of two bathrooms.
The expansive lot has ample room for an addition or even a complete rebuild, if you’re so inclined.
Plenty of potential for a garden in the backyard.
Or, if you really like the outdoors, you could keep it as is and create an urban farm.
The basement bathroom.
There’s honestly probably enough room for a chicken coop!
The back of the house.
However, since this property is listed for only $499,000 in a neighbourhood where detached houses sell for upwards of $1.5 million, we have a feeling this is going to turn into a modern new build real soon.
