117 Alton Avenue, Toronto E01, ON

Description

At the Top of Alton, tucked behind the leaves of a Japanese maple, a front porch and brick exterior peer out at you like they've been waiting. Wrought-iron fence. Stone path. A glowing interior full of upgrades that make you feel more welcome than you've felt in a long time. This is a family home. Sizeable, open, and sight-lines straight into a tiered back garden with partially covered party deck (+ ample storage below), hot tub, BBQ hook up and room for the little's. Yes, there's parking with new roll up door (2025). Inside, the perfect blend of updated without losing what makes Leslieville Leslieville. Open main level with a proper separated foyer, wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, and a solid wood, Kinfolk-style kitchen anchored by an oversized island and new downdraft stove. There's still room for a good-sized dining table. Imagine that. The classic staircase leads up to abundant light (skylights), original floors, and bedrooms that each bring something unique - including a 2nd level terrace off the back bedroom and a vaulted ceiling in the king-sized principal suite. The main event up here? A bathroom larger than most, purpose-built for bubble baths and toothbrush tutorials. Downstairs, a properly finished lower level with solid ceiling height, ultra deep built-ins, a 2nd bathroom, water filt, HRV, central VAC and laundry (new dryer 2025) - get the sheets done while you catch up on soccer highlights. Out back: tree canopies, a park directly behind the house, and a yard that invites real life - the kind where kids are out till the street lights come on, dogs say hello and neighbours actually wave. Greenwood Park is steps away with pool, outdoor rink, dog park, and farmers' market - you gotta try the Jerk! Top-rated schools - Leslieville Jr. & Duke of Connaught French Immersion are close by. Transit at the door. Shops and restaurants that make you feel like you picked the right neighbourhood. The next chapter starts here and it's a really really good one.
