44 Donlea Drive, East York

Some homes simply have a presence about them. A sense of space, an abundance of natural light, and an easy elegance that makes you feel at home the moment you walk through the door. 44 Donlea Drive is one of those homes. Set on a beautiful family-friendly street in the heart of prime North Leaside, this substantial four-bedroom, four-bath detached residence blends generous proportions, thoughtful luxury, and the warmth of a true family home. Offering approximately 2,674 square feet above grade, plus an additional 1,030 square feet on the lower level, this home stands apart for its exceptional scale, smart design and beautiful upgrades. The main floor layout is wonderful with proper formal living and dining rooms, complemented by a spacious chef's kitchen that overlooks the family room and breakfast area. The current owners have invested significantly throughout, including a spectacular fully renovated lower level with heated floors, all new windows and exterior doors and upstairs a former second-floor balcony has been transformed into an expansive, custom-designed walk-in closet, beautifully appointed and indulgent in both finish and function. The inviting interiors and generous layout support everything from lively gatherings to quiet evenings at home. And then there's the neighborhood. North Leaside is one of Toronto's most sought-after communities, celebrated for its beautiful streets, outstanding schools, wonderful parks, welcoming atmosphere and access to shops, restaurants and transit.
