29 Veery Place, Toronto

A backyard to live for. There's something about a cul-de-sac that feels safe and calm. A place to play road hockey without having to yell "Car!". Quiet enough for chalk art between friends. A loop that invites both connection and space. This three-bedroom semi sits at the end of one of those streets. It wears its years proudly, with original louvred wood doors, retro light switch plates, and doorknobs turned by hundreds of little hands over the years. The home is laced with vintage details people try to recreate but don't always get right, all balanced by freshly stained hardwood floors and a fresh coat of paint throughout. The driveway fits four cars, almost unheard of for most of Toronto. The yard will surprise you. It flows directly into the Don Trail, which feels less like a boundary and more like an invitation. A serene and peaceful place just for you. Well, and the dog who will insist on leading the way. If that weren't enough, the 20 feet of frontage fans out to about 65 feet across the back, and 145 feet deep. Think about it. That's enough room in the backyard for an afternoon scrimmage or a full-out sprint when you hear, "Go long!" Enough space to build an addition, a pool for those sweltering summer days, or a skating rink that makes bedtime negotiable. Drive less than five minutes to explore the beauty of Edwards Gardens, or Shops on Don Mills for groceries, shopping, dining, or people-watching. Sometimes the best way to get to know a place is to toss the ball around and see what comes back. We'll be here.
