I have listed a new property at 5 1/2 Luttrell Avenue in Toronto. See details here

Your first place - and it actually feels like yours. A freehold 2-storey semi in the east end, renovated top to bottom, with private parking and potential to build a laneway house down the road.The enclosed front porch with its exposed brick wall is the reading nook/drop zone or the "let the groceries sit for a sec" extra room many semi's this size don't have. Open living and dining, pot lights throughout, gleaming floors and an open staircase. The kitchen was built for someone who actually cooks, or wants to learn how: quartz counters, an island with a breakfast bar and feature hood range, stainless appliances, and two skylights that keep the whole space sunlit. Sliding glass doors open to a private backyard. Upstairs, two bedrooms with closets (primary bedroom storage unit will stay) and a fully renovated 3-piece bath. The finished basement flexes as a home office, playroom, guest room or movie den, with laundry tucked in.The expensive things are already handled - heat pump with A/C, roof, skylights and main sewer line all recently done. The heat pump means no gas bill, which matters more than it sounds when you're buying your first house. Steps to the Danforth's coffee, shops and restaurants, and a short walk to the Bloor-Danforth line. Flexible closing.
