130 Neville Park Boulevard

A California Cottage in the Beaches. Tucked high above a quiet dead-end street at the east end of the Beaches, this detached two-plus-one-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow feels more like a cottage than a city home. Originally built in the style of early California stucco houses, it carries a timeless charm that blends beautifully with its natural surroundings. From its raised position and leafy views to the sunlight that filters through the trees and dances across the walls, theres an easy, peaceful rhythm here. Sitting on a wide 38-foot lot, surrounded by greenery and songbirds, it feels worlds away while being moments from the boardwalk, lake, and every east-end essential. Evenings are for tea and moonlight. From the kitchen window, you can watch the moon rise through the trees over Victoria Park. It's a quiet, everyday kind of magic that makes washing dishes feel like a pause instead of a chore. Mornings begin with coffee on the secluded porch, high above the road, where you can listen to the birds and feel tucked into your own private world. Inside, the kitchen is surprisingly efficient, designed to make the most of every inch, with a large window framing the trees and a side door to the porch. The layout makes daily life feel effortless, with flexible spaces for guests, work, or creative pursuits. The location is one of those that longtime Beachers mention with quiet pride. Neville Park has a rhythm all its own, a microclimate tucked into the ravine, cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and blanketed in postcard-perfect snow come December. Neighbours host barbecues, the street stays peaceful, and you can still walk everywhere: coffee at Remarkable Bean, a movie at The Fox, a scoop from Eds, or a stroll to watch the waves crash at the foot of the street during a winter storm.Its rare to find a home that feels both hidden and connected, private yet just steps to everything. This is one of those rare finds.
