49 Lee Avenue, Toronto

Some houses simply know how to gather people. Renovated by East Design House, 49 Lee blends original Beach character with a more modern rhythm for everyday living. The open-concept main floor brings people together, while the grand staircase, fireplace mantel, bay window and coffered dining room ceiling preserve the home's sense of history. Four bedrooms above grade plus a finished lower level create room to grow, work and host. Heated bathroom floors, updated mechanicals and an EV charger add everyday ease. Out back, the private 164-ft-deep lot feels like its own retreat. Kew Gardens is out front, with Queen Street, the boardwalk and the lake just moments away.
