951 Gorton Avenue

A Family Oasis by the Lake -- Where Every Season and Every Memory Matters. Nestled just one street from the lake in one of the area's most charming, nature-rich communities, this exceptional home offers something truly rare: the perfect balance of connection, calm, and character. Once a seasonal cottage neighbourhood for Toronto residents seeking a lakeside escape, the area has evolved into a vibrant, welcoming community. The park across the street -- once the playground of a century-old school -- still carries the echoes of generations past, while the majestic trees and endless trails of the nearby Royal Botanical Gardens ground this home in natural beauty. Lovingly maintained and deeply cherished, this home has been the backdrop for a family's most treasured moments. "When we moved in, our kids were just 11, 6, and 1and we brought home a puppy on day one", the sellers share. "We built a private backyard oasis and watched our children grow, play, and thrive. Every corner of this home holds memories well carry for life." The backyard is a true private resort -- with a heated saltwater pool, custom playground, zipline, outdoor kitchen and BBQ, gazebo, soccer space, and indoor/outdoor wood-burning fireplaces. Inside, the layout offers multiple entertainment spaces, peaceful retreats, a yoga studio, and room to grow. Its a home that nurtures both connection and personal space. Just minutes from boutique shops, schools, the GO Train, a new hospital, and surrounded by trees, trails, and lake breezes, this is a rare chance for a growing family or outdoor-loving couple to settle into a lifestyle as full as the home itself. With a generous lot -- similar properties on the street have supported two new builds -- there's future potential too. As the owners say: "This home has given our children everything they could dream ofindoors and out. Now, its ready to do the same for someone new."
