With Toronto in the midst of yet another sweltering heat wave, it's not an exaggeration to say that 2 Leyton Ave. is looking extremely refreshing right now.
Located in the family-friendly Oakridge neighbourhood in Scarborough, this detached three-bedroom home is serving up serious summer vibes.
Not only does this house back onto the peaceful greenery of Oakridge Park, but it also has a freshly (2023) waterproofed backyard pool and a deck space for lounging and working on that tan.

The pool.
Sure, it's not an inground pool, but when the temperatures in Toronto feel like you're in a sauna, who cares?
And even better than the fact that this house has a pool is that it is currently listed for less than it sold for back in 2023.

The kitchen.
In 2023, 2 Leyton Ave. sold for $880,000, after sitting on the market for over seven months.

The primary bedroom.
Now, the house is listed for only $749,000, despite looking like it got a bit of a makeover.

The downstairs lounge.
Is it because the real estate market is in shambles? Maybe. But more likely, the price is low because they want to start a bidding war. Although we can't confirm that since the realtor didn't respond to blogTO's request for comment by the time of the publication.

The third bedroom in the basement.
Either way, this could be a rare east side deal in a market where affordability feels more like fiction than fact.

The dining area.
Inside, the home is updated and move-in ready.

The living room.
The main floor features a bright living room with new window shades and a fresh coat of paint.

The kitchen.
The eat-in kitchen has been stylishly refreshed with new cabinet doors, backsplash, and pantry storage. And, according to the listing, the island is complete with bar stools, and the microwave can stay.

The new barn door.
The primary bedroom offers a touch of rustic flair with a new barn door and mirrored closet.

A bedroom that is currently being used as an office.
Two more bedrooms overlook the backyard, with one offering a walk-out to the deck — perfect for late-night dips.

THe basement kitchenette.
The basement, accessible via a separate entrance, adds extra value with a kitchenette, sleeping area, hydro-massage tub, wood-burning fireplace, and a recording room.

The recording room.
Other perks include an attached garage, a large laundry area, a garden shed, and zero rental equipment (the furnace is owned). The only thing missing is air conditioning.

The backyard.
But if the asking price is legit, even without air conditioning, 2 Leyton Ave. is a pretty solid deal for a neighbourhood where the average house goes for over $1 million.
