life and entertaining. A true standout is the professionally underpinned and fully renovated basement, a rare find in a Leaside semi with 8-ft ceilings. Completed in 2022 at a cost of $150K, the renovation included interior waterproofing, sump pump, new windows, a 2nd bathroom and spacious full-size laundry room, creating bright and highly functional additional living space. The exterior foundation had also been partially waterproofed by the previous owner. Outside, the deep backyard is designed for families and entertaining, featuring an oversized pressure-treated deck with glass railings, a built-in playground with plenty of room to play, and low-maintenance perennial gardens in both the front and back, with hardwired landscape lighting in the front and back gardens. Extensive improvements include high-efficiency furnace & A/C (2016), interior doors & hardware (2016), main-floor renovation & kitchen (2017), roof (2018), windows & exterior doors except basement (2019), soffits & eavestroughs with leaf guards (2019), playground (2019), deck (2020), rental HWT (2021), basement underpinning/renovation & windows (2022), and upgraded 3/4″ water service to the street (2022). Garage parking plus an additional front parking space. Located in the coveted Northlea school district with French Immersion, steps to parks and close to Bayview shops, restaurants, TTC and the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
