A little farmhouse, a little Prince Edward County...Some homes have features. Others have stories. Tucked away on one of the Upper Beach's most charming and tightly-held streets, this beautifully updated detached home offers something increasingly rare in Toronto: a true sense of community. Set beside a quiet laneway where kids roam freely, neighbours know each other by name, and front-row seats to the Beaches Santa Claus Parade come standard, this is the kind of place families never want to leave. Originally built in the 1880s, this is one of the area's earliest homes, rich with history and surrounded by the character that makes East Toronto so special. Beyond the storybook setting, the home has been extensively improved with approximately $350,000 in upgrades, the pride of ownership is evident. All done for you: a full rewire and 200-amp electrical service, new roof, Carrier A/C, renovated basement, waterproofing, back-flow preventer, new driveway with dual EV chargers, updated appliances, landscaping, security system, and much more. The backyard is a hidden gem. Backing onto a historic laneway and benefiting from a shared rear right-of-way, it offers exceptional privacy, additional access, and exciting future potential for a garden suite (buyer to verify). The country-lane atmosphere isn't just a feeling here - it's part of the neighbourhood's history and everyday life. Commuters will love being just minutes to the GO Train, with Union Station only 10 minutes away, plus easy TTC access nearby. Families will appreciate the welcoming community, nearby parks and schools, and the freedom that comes with living in a neighbourhood where children still play outside until dinner. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Toronto history while enjoying all the comforts of modern living in one of the East End's most beloved communities.
