195 Islington Ave, Etobicoke, ON

{STEP INSIDE} Welcome to this freehold semi-detached home in New Toronto, where the big-ticket updates are already done. The newly renovated main floor features new flooring, an improved open-concept layout connecting the living room and kitchen, plus updated heating and A/C. Enjoy your own backyard, a rare neighbourhood bonus with the detached garage, and the added value of freehold ownership with no condo fees. {MAIN LEVEL} Vinyl flooring runs from the foyer through the living room, dining rm, kitchen & mudroom for one continuous, low-maintenance surface. Living rm and dining rm have their own windows, so the space stays bright. Kitchen is set up to cook in: stainless steel fridge, stove, range & oversized hood, sink at the window. Main flr laundry with washer, dryer & laundry tub means no hauling loads upstairs. Mudroom gives direct access to the backyard, the natural path in & out. 2pc powder rm for guests. {UPPER LEVEL} Primary bdrm & 2nd bdrm both have their own mini split a/c plus baseboard heat, so each rm controls its own comfort instead of fighting the rest of the house for it. Walk-in closet off primary could stay a closet or become a home office/Play Pen. The Den offers flexible work-from-home setup without giving up a bdrm. 4pc bath finishes the flr with ceramic flooring throughout. {LOCATION} Located in New Toronto, a walkable stretch of South Etobicoke's Lakeshore community. Islington Jr Middle School (TDSB, JK-8) is nearby, along with Lakeshore Collegiate Institute (secondary) & St. Elizabeth Catholic School (TCDSB). Lake Shore Blvd W is a short walk for shops, cafes & restaurants, & Colonel Samuel Smith Park with its waterfront trail along Lake Ontario is close enough for a regular routine, not just a weekend trip. TTC's 501 Queen streetcar runs along Lake Shore, Mimico GO Station is nearby for downtown commuters, & the Gardiner Expwy & Hwy 427 are both within easy reach.
