(STEP INSIDE) Welcome to this freehold semi-detached home in New Toronto, where the big-ticket updates are already done. The newly renovated main floor features new flooring, an improved open-concept layout connecting the living room and kitchen, plus updated heating and A/C. Enjoy your own backyard, a rare neighbourhood bonus with the detached garage, and the added value of freehold ownership with no condo fees. (MAIN LEVEL) Vinyl flooring runs from the foyer through the living room, dining rm, kitchen & mudroom for one continuous, low-maintenance surface. Living rm and dining rm have their own windows, so the space stays bright. Kitchen is set up to cook in: stainless steel fridge, stove, range & oversized hood, sink at the window. Main flr laundry with washer, dryer & laundry tub means no hauling loads upstairs. Mudroom gives direct access to the backyard, the natural path in & out. 2pc powder rm for guests. (UPPER LEVEL) Primary bdrm & 2nd bdrm both have their own mini split a/c plus baseboard heat, so each rm controls its own comfort instead of fighting the rest of the house for it. Walk-in closet off primary could stay a closet or become a home office/Play Pen. The Den offers flexible work-from-home setup without giving up a bdrm. 4pc bath finishes the flr with ceramic flooring throughout. (LOCATION) Located in New Toronto, a walkable stretch of South Etobicoke's Lakeshore community. Islington Jr Middle School (TDSB, JK-8) is nearby, along with Lakeshore Collegiate Institute (secondary) & St. Elizabeth Catholic School (TCDSB). Lake Shore Blvd W is a short walk for shops, cafes & restaurants, & Colonel Samuel Smith Park with its waterfront trail along Lake Ontario is close enough for a regular routine, not just a weekend trip. TTC's 501 Queen streetcar runs along Lake Shore, Mimico GO Station is nearby for downtown commuters, & the Gardiner Expwy & Hwy 427 are both within easy reach.
