Toronto homes under $1 million that don’t require a full gut renovation are getting rarer by the day.
So in the land of million-dollar tear-downs and closet-sized condos, finding this semi-detached gem with serious charm and space, for less than seven figures, is a bit of a miracle.
Located on one of those postcard-perfect, tree-lined streets near Gerrard and Coxwell, 249 Ashdale Ave. is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a ton of character.
The living room.
From the exposed brick walls to the coved ceilings in the dining room and the multiple fireplaces, this place is inviting and cozy.
The dining room.
The main floor has a bright and airy open concept living and dining area.
The kitchen.
The kitchen is definitely in need of some updates. It looks like it hasn’t been touched since well before 2017, when the house was last on the market, and the mismatched cupboards could be improved.
Exposed brick wall in the kitchen.
But with exposed brick and a good footprint, there’s tons of potential.
The backyard.
The kitchen opens out to a private, fenced-in yard and a deck.
A bedroom.
Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The primary bedroom.
The primary bedroom has a bay window, exposed brick, a fireplace, and a built-in wardrobe.
The upstairs bathroom.
The one downside is the upstairs bathroom seems to only have a bathtub… no shower.
The basement bathroom.
But downstairs, the three-piece bathroom does have a shower.
The basement rec room.
The basement is fully finished with a separate entrance and enough room for a rec room, office, gym, or in-law suite situation.
Another bedroom.
249 Ashdale Ave. is listed for $999,000, although we wouldn’t be surprised if it sold for more.
The backyard and back of the house.
Semi-detached homes in this neighbourhood have sold for as much as $1,725,000.
