If you’re in the market for a cozy, detached home that packs serious charm into an affordable package, this adorable house in Oakridge might just be the perfect place to call home.
Listed for $679,000, it’s hard to believe a home like this exists in Toronto.
Although to be fair, it usually wouldn’t.
The living room.
Earlier this year, 27 Wanstead Ave. was listed for $900,000.
A bedroom.
But if you can’t capitalize on the new, almost reasonable housing prices because the Toronto real estate market is struggling, when can you?
The main floor dining and living areas.
Nestled on a 20 by 122.75 foot lot, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom property offers much more than you’d expect for the price – like its own private driveway and parking spot.
The exposed brick pillar adds a touch of character.
Not to mention, the interior of the house is actually really cute and not a half-renovated construction site.
Another bedroom.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by hardwood floors and sleek pot lights, giving the space a fresh, modern vibe while maintaining its classic charm.
The kitchen.
The bright and cozy (read: small) main floor has a living room and an eat-in kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
The home office.
If you work from home, there’s also an office space with a walk-out to the patio.
The upstairs bathroom with a clawfoot tub.
Upstairs, you have two bedrooms and a bathroom.
A bedroom.
The bedrooms are pretty small and don’t really have closet space, but wardrobes are a thing, so you can figure it out.
The finished basement.
There’s more living space in the finished basement, complete with a three-piece bathroom.
The backyard.
And the best part of 27 Wanstead Ave. is the backyard.
The back of the house.
The deep lot means tons of space for gardening, lounging or hosting BBQs with friends.
The small but mighty kitchen has a dishwasher.
27 Wanstead Ave. is also close to the Danforth area, with shopping, parks, and TTC access all close by.
There’s plenty of storage in the kitchen.
And at this price, it’s unlikely you’ll find anything better than this.
The lot is deep enough that you could add an extension if you wanted more living space.
Although, considering that homes in this area typically go for just over $1 million, you might end up paying closer to $800,000 for this house because that is around the price it sold for back in 2020.
