The brief
About 81 Alton Ave
81 Alton Ave is a 2+1-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached house in South Riverdale, Toronto, listed for sale at an asking price of $1,259,000 (MLS® E14117204).
Your favourite part of Leslieville might just be coming home. Coffee on Queen. A stop at the park. Then back to 81 Alton, where a fully renovated interior meets the character that made you want a Toronto house in the first place. Hardwood floors and wainscoting bring warmth and character to connected living and dining spaces, equally suited to a house full of friends or a quiet evening on the couch. In the kitchen, quartz counters and a gas range invite you to try the recipes you've been saving. Open the back door and summer evenings unfold across two decks: the barbecue close to the kitchen, a larger lounging area below, and mature trees overhead. Dinner can turn into a long conversation without anyone suggesting you move inside. Upstairs, the primary bedroom pairs room for a king-size bed with custom integrated closets that follow the roofline. A second bedroom and an updated bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower round out the floor. Downstairs, a separate work area means your laptop can have a home beyond the dining table. A third bedroom, full bathroom and separate entrance add flexibility for guests and changing routines. Even the less glamorous parts of city life get easier: an enclosed porch catches the boots and bags, and two lane-access parking spaces spare you the nightly search. Go enjoy the neighbourhood. You've got a good reason to come back.
