HOUSE ON UNIQUE CRAVEN ROAD

There were three offers to purchase this house. “Not surprisingly, with so little on the market, we had about 200 people turn up to the open houses,” says listing agent Scott Hanton. It was listed at a “great price point that gave many first-time buyers a shot at a house in Leslieville.”

The cosy two-storey house has two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-concept living room with a gas fireplace. The large eat-in kitchen has white cabinetry, butcher block countertops and built-in appliances.

A bonus is a balcony off the master bedroom. “A huge balcony in the trees will become your favourite spot,” he says.

Hardwood floors and a neutral decor provide a modern ambiance. The renovated home is “what we would typically call a terrific condo-alternative. It’s less than 900 square feet total but offers a sizable fenced-in backyard,” Hanton says.

Craven Road is a one-ofa-kind street in Leslieville. Houses front on one side of the street only, and each house is different, ranging from tiny cottages to $800,000 new builds, he says.

Public transit, schools, parks and trails are nearby. The area also offers a range of fun and funky shops and many restaurants. Listing Broker: Keller Williams Advantage (Cameron Weir and Scott Hanton)
