About this property

Welcome to 16 Dawson Ave, a quiet, light-filled home on a tree-lined street in one of the east end's most beloved hidden gems-The Pocket. Tucked away from busy roads, this is a neighbourhood known for its strong sense of community, friendly neighbours, and the kind of charm that makes people want to stay. This inviting home offers peaceful living with beautiful original details including French doors and a 1910 faux fireplace. The primary bedroom is filled with natural light and framed by the leafy canopy of the mature tree out front. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch or unwind in the private backyard oasis with a deck, garden bed, and laneway access with potential for parking. Life in The Pocket is about connection and convenience. You're just an 8-minute walk to Donlands subway, close to bike lanes for easy commuting, and steps to the Danforth, Gerrard East, and Leslieville. Nearby parks including local Phin Park and the Oakville Green dog park-add to the neighbourhood's family-friendly, community-oriented feel. Residents come together for events like Pride, the Pumpkin Parade, and spring clean-ups, creating a true sense of belonging. Move-in ready with exciting potential to update, reconfigure, or rebuild, this home also features a separate basement entrance that could lend itself beautifully to a future secondary suite. The seller would warmly welcome a brief letter with any offer, sharing a little about the buyer and their short- or long-term vision for the home, especially as it relates to environmental sustainability.
