78 Squires Avenue, East York

Set on a quiet pocket of East York, this 2+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached bungalow leads with the room most homes at this price cannot offer. The newly built kitchen extension brings gas cooking, stone counters, a built-in sitting area, and a walkout that opens the entire space to the charming back yard featuring a stunning pear tree and planters for the green thumbs. The main floor adapts instead of dictating. Run it as two bedrooms plus a living room, or open it into a full living and dining layout with one bedroom. The choice is yours, and it can change as your life does. The lower level is already finished and does real work. A large renovated primary bedroom with custom built in closets and a fully renovated bathroom sit downstairs, freeing the main floor for living, hosting, or a dedicated home office. Two finished levels, two full bathrooms, and no urgent projects waiting on day one. The 40 x 100 ft lot holds a mature pear tree and raised garden boxes already producing, with room left for a patio, a play area, or whatever comes next. A detached garage and parking for two handle the practical side, and the garage doubles as workshop or storage. What makes this property work is the sequence it allows. Move in this month and live in it exactly as it is, because the kitchen, the bathroom, and the lower level are done. Then take on the additions, the landscaping, or the finishes on your own timeline instead of inheriting someone else's unfinished list. Updated where it counts, and left open where you may want a say. East York remains one of the last parts of Toronto where a detached home on a full lot is still within reach, on quiet streets with mature trees and quick access to the Danforth, the DVP, and TTC service into the core.
