2021 Gerrard Street, Toronto

Be still, Beach Hill. This detached 3 + 1 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has always been about more than square footage. It's been the place for backyard parties that ran late into the night, a front porch with a giant Halloween skeleton that made the whole street smile, and a main floor designed for people to gather. The kitchen is the kind you actually cook in. Big, practical, with storage for everything and counters that never seem to run out of space. It flows into living and dining areas that open to the backyard, where new stonework, a section of low-maintenance turf, and thoughtful landscaping turn it into another room of the house. Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels like a retreat, its vaulted ceilings lifting the space and giving it room to breathe. Two more bedrooms add flexibility for family, work, or guests. The renovated basement, fully spray-foam insulated, is ready for an in-law suite, tenant space, or a spot to host Saturday night hockey. The updates here are practical and meaningful: a rebuilt extension, newer furnace, AC and hot water tank, fresh lighting and doors, refinished floors, restored stained glass, and an extra-wide mutual drive with parking that makes daily life easier. Move-in ready, without losing its character. And the neighbourhood? This is Beach Hill, where tree-lined streets meet community vibes. Cassels Park is just behind you, one of the east end's best dog parks and a morning coffee hangout. Morning Parade and Bodega Henriette are just a short stroll away. Zara's Pharmacy and Paws World know their customers by name. And when you want the Beach, you're there in minutes without the weekend traffic outside your door. 2021 Gerrard is welcoming, well cared for, and full of life. The kind of house that doesn't just hold your story, it makes it better.
