619 Evans Avenue 1, Toronto

The first thing you notice when you arrive is the blue "Children Playing" sign on the corner. And then you look up and down the street and it makes complete sense. The neighbours here stop to say hello and watch out for each other. The kids gather outside after school. There's the neighbour who shows up with a drill before you've asked, and the one with every gadget imaginable. The family leaving this home built relationships that became something closer to extended family. They're going to miss that. This is the kind of home you've been trying to find, the one with enough room to actually breathe, a real backyard, a garage, a neighbourhood where your kids grow up knowing everyone on the street. An end unit with three sides of natural light and nearly 2,000 sqft across four levels, including a fully self-contained in-law suite with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and separate entrance for parents, rental income, or teenagers who need their own world. Rich hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and a serious kitchen with dark cabinetry to the ceiling, granite counters, a gas range, stainless appliances, breakfast bar, and a statement chandelier overhead. A primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and jacuzzi ensuite. A private fenced patio where the weeknights become evenings and summer actually happens. Farm Boy and Scholars Tutoring across the street, a full JK to Grade 12 school path in the neighbourhood, the Alderwood community pool and skating rink, F45 and Solis nearby, Etobicoke Creek trail minutes away, Long Branch GO to downtown in under 20 minutes, Kipling Station 10 minutes away, Sherway Gardens walkable, and Marie Curtis Park just 8 minutes away. In the drone photos you can see just how close you are to the city, the lake and so much nature all around. This is a home for a family that's done squeezing into something smaller. One that's ready for a street with a "Children Playing" sign, and means it.
