About this property

An ideal condo alternative with very low monthly costs. You will constantly delight in that wonderful, warm embrace, each time you return home. So unique, so practical, so classic, and so very cool. 79 Knox Avenue is ideally detached, on a quiet corner lot in Leslieville. This historic 1880s worker's cottage continues to live on, giving more joy and long-lasting memories to all who pass through its doors. It's just the right size for one or two people who've been craving a much more manageable house, while still having all the conveniences of owning your own detached property, with a private driveway, in highly sought-after Leslieville. From exquisite stained glass, to intricate trims and mouldings, to eclectic lighting and finishes, 79 Knox Avenue is truly one-of-a-kind. A second-level loft provides an ideal music room, guest bedroom, storage area, or play room for the grandkids. But the bonus is that everything you'll need and want is all on the main level, without the need of climbing stairs. A private and spacious outdoor deck is the ideal spot to unwind or even throw a fabulous summer party with space for plenty of friends and family. Located mere minutes from the lake, those with nautical leanings will love the possibilities offered by Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club, the marina, the boardwalk, the beach and Lake Ontario. This is an extremely solid, historic bungalow with plenty of updates: New Roof (2024), New 3000 BTU Heat Pump (2023), New Driveway Interlocking Bricks (2023), New Shed (2023), New screen & glass for front door (2023), New front door hardware (2025), New kitchen door, not screen (2024), New deck flooring (Partial, 2023). Gas fireplace (as-is): not used at all by seller, thus the gas account was closed, but no reason to think it wouldn't still work. The heat pump warms and cools the house wonderfully, and there are multiple electric wall radiator heaters, separately controlled, if more localized heat is desired at any time.
