A cute Toronto home with a pool is surprisingly going for under $700,000

It's been hot in Toronto. Like, really hot. And while Toronto's outdoor public pools are a summertime lifesaver, you know what's even better than swimming with the masses?Having your own pool just steps from your back door.

If that sounds like the dream, then a newly-listed home at 25 Farmbrook Rd. might just make it your reality.

The backyard.

This delightfully affordable (by Toronto standards) detached sidesplit comes with its very own in-ground pool, perfect for cooling off in style.

The primary bedroom. 

But the pool is just the beginning with this property.

The living room and dining room. 

Inside, there's original hardwood flooring, a sun-filled living and dining room with tall ceilings, and an eat-in kitchen complete with a pantry and a walkout to the backyard.

The kitchen. 

Sure, it could all use some updating depending on your taste, especially the kitchen.

But it's certainly a good starting point, and is move-in ready as is while completely derelict properties in the city in need of a total gut job have sold for far more.

The main bathroom. 

The main floor offers three bedrooms and a full four-piece bath.

The basement. 

Downstairs, a finished basement gives you a rec room, another bathroom, and the potential for a separate entrance — ideal for an in-law suite, a guest space or even some rental income on the side.

The detached garage. 

Out back, the fully fenced yard was made for summer hangs, with a patio, lounge space, and best of all, total privacy. 

The listing even notes garden suite potential (buyer to verify), plus there's a detached garage.

An aerial view of the property. 

Location-wise, you're a short walk to Eglinton GO Station and just minutes from the TTC, Hwy 401, Cedarbrae Mall, Scarborough Town Centre, parks, schools and other amenities.

Another bedroom. 

In short, 25 Farmbrook Rd. is practical, fun, and way below the average price for this area and the city in general.

A small third bedroom. 

Also, it just dropped from $838,000 to $699,000. Sure, the market isn't exactly thriving right now, but that's your gain.

The pool and back of the house. 

Better move fast though, as this one's bound to get snapped up quicker than a popsicle on a 30 C day.
