“The owners travelled for work a lot and lived abroad, so the house was rented out to professionals and young families for a number of years,” listing agent Gregory Parker says. “Once the last tenants left, the couple finally decided it was the right time to sell.”

The house, which has a landscaped yard, has been updated with new paint, fixtures and carpeting, and its hardwood floors have been refinished. “The neighbourhood is easy walking distance to a number of great schools, a GO train station, TTC routes, The Beach and Danforth Ave.,” Parker says.

Main floor has: hardwood floor, gas fireplace and bow window; dining room with hardwood floor, wainscotting and large window; kitchen with ceramic-tile floor. On the second floor are: master bedroom with hardwood floor and large closet; second bedroom with closet and hardwood floor; third bedroom with large closet and hardwood floor. Basement is finished with recreation room with broadloom floor, wainscotting and above grade window; kitchen with linoleum floor; three-piece bathroom; separate entrance.
