1 A Classic East York Bungalow on the Danforth While homeowner happiness largely originates from the property itself, it is, of course, increased by community and convenience: great schools, outdoor leisure opportunities, shopping and restaurants. This classic East York bungalow, which is a great starter home in an accessible, family friendly neighbourhood, is ready to make a new family very happy indeed! Welcome to 321 Cosburn Avenue, offered at $499,900!

L ocated just north of Danforth Avenue near Greenwood, this central east location is all about convenience and family life. Need to get somewhere lickety-split?

Accessible service is provided on the route and bike racks are available. There s also the 31 Greenwood bus, which whisks you north to the house from the Greenwood Subway Station.

This is a true neighbourhood that embraces family life. Retail shopping has a flavourful appearance, with well-known storefronts interspersed with family-run businesses.

Just two blocks east are 2 variety stores, Karlovo s Butcher and Deli, Corrado Pizza, Sophie s Grill, The Up Town Wine Bar, along with a hair salon and a pre-school learning

The park expands over three hectares, and boasts an artificial ice rink in the winter (smooth skating surface, excellent for those learning to skate!).

It s one of those spots that commands that you stop and smell the proverbial roses while your family partakes in simple pleasures.

A little further up the street is Cosburn Park, also a beacon of green space.

Rainy day keep you away from the park? Families will appreciate the proximity of The S. Walter Stewart Library.

The park expands over three hectares, and boasts an artificial ice rink in the winter (smooth skating surface, excellent for those learning to skate!). Families will especially appreciate the picnicking opportunities, the playground and the splash pad that runs in the summer months. It s one of those spots that commands that you stop and smell the proverbial roses while your family partakes in simple pleasures. There are also walking/jogging trails and sports facilities, like baseball diamonds and soccer pitches. A little further up the street is Cosburn Park, also a beacon of green space. Those who prefer their leisure activities to be a little more organized will appreciate the Cosburn Park Lawn Bowling Club and the East York Tennis Club, located at this park. Rainy day keep you away from the park? Families will appreciate the proximity of The S. Walter Stewart Library. Schools abound, with representation from all boards and levels of education.

3 N estled on 35 x foot lot with private drive and garage, this classic 1930 s East York bungalow has been lovingly maintained by the same owner since This residence is reflective of the housing stock seen widely in the area, which is a mix of one and two storey brick detached and semi-detached dwellings constructed mostly between 1910 and the 1940s. Of course, this premium neighbourhood is experiencing a wave of new changes, including a number of new builds, renovations and top-ups. Certainly this sweetheart of a home is either the ideal starter property for a first time buyer or, for the renovator/builder, a brilliant opportunity to expand for a profit. Featuring an open concept entertainment area, the well-proportioned space boasts a charming bay window with leaded glass windows and an efficient kitchen. Already converted into open plan living, upgrading the kitchen with more contemporary fittings and appliances is an easy-fix, though for the budgetconscious this space as-is is easily-serviceable. In fact, that s what s so wonderful about this property. Unlike most homes in this price point which require a sledge hammer and significant sums of money, this property is a great opportunity to upgrade according to your budget over time. We especially love the walk-out to the over-sized deck that connects to the pretty landscaped south-facing garden. We also like, in this day and age of bigger is better, how the main level has two bedrooms (one is currently used as a dining room) and a recent upgraded 3-piece washroom, which is just-enough-space for those who appreciate or require one-level living. On the lower level, the finished open concept basement has a media room, ample storage, and a second three-piece washroom. For those who desire an income supplement, a few modifications could create living space for tenants, or extended family. How amazing is that?
