188 Hastings Avenue, Toronto, ON M4L 2L7

While three bedrooms may get a family through the door, it's the main floor space and layout that will keep them in the house. And at this price point, 188 Hastings offers something surprisingly rare in Leslieville: a proper family room on the main floor. The extra length on the main floor gives you room to host, play, cook, and spend time together without asking one space to do everything. There's a large kitchen with ample storage overlooking a landscaped backyard, a convenient powder room so guests don't have to venture elsewhere in the house, and a true front hall closet - something that is almost impossible to find in homes of this kind. Exposed brick, character-rich newel posts and railings, and engineered white oak flooring bring warmth throughout. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms - each with proper storage - along with a separate linen closet. The king-sized primary bedroom features vaulted ceilings and wall-to-wall his-and-her wardrobes. Downstairs, the waterproofed basement has an impressive 7-foot+ ceiling height, making it a genuinely comfortable recreation space. A built-in Murphy bed allows the basement to transform easily into accommodations for overnight guests. And then there's the location. 188 Hastings is a 2 minute walk to Greenwood Park, putting one of the East End's best neighbourhood parks at your doorstep. Swimming, skating, the playground, sports fields, dog park, and farmers' market are all close enough to become part of everyday life - not just occasional outings. You're also within the highly regarded Leslieville Junior Public School and Riverdale Collegiate catchments. Hastings has easy street parking with parking allowed on both sides of the street. There's also a month-long time-lapse video showing just how easy it is to find a spot - just ask your agent for it. You've been waiting all summer for the fall listings to arrive. Here we are.
