Toronto houses under $800,000 usually come with at least one major compromise.
Maybe they're tiny, need a full renovation, or don't have much outdoor space.
But the bungalow at 5 Pixley Cres. manages to buck that trend thanks to a backyard that's more like a private resort than your average suburban lawn.

The living room.
The three-bedroom bungalow looks fairly modest from the street, and if we're honest, the interiors are pretty average.

The open-concept living, kitchen and dining areas.
Inside, you'll find approximately 1,200 square feet of bright, open-concept living space with updated finishes throughout.

One of the bedrooms.
The main floor includes three bedrooms and one full bathroom.

The kitchen.
The kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a custom architectural half-wall separating it from the living area, giving the space an open feel without completely sacrificing definition.

The primary bedroom.
The bedrooms are all a good size, and the primary suite even has its own walkout to the backyard deck, making an early morning swim a very real possibility.

The basement.
Downstairs, the finished basement adds even more living space with a fourth bedroom that's currently set up as a home office and gym, a second full bathroom, and plenty of utility and storage space.

The extra bedroom is currently being used as a home office and gym.
But let's be honest, no one's clicking on this listing because of the basement.

The backyard.
The real showstopper is outside.

Multiple lounging areas around the pool.
The pie-shaped lot stretches up to 143 feet deep and widens to 47 feet across the back, creating roughly 6,100 square feet of outdoor space.

The pool is heated.
Rather than leaving it as a patch of grass, the owners transformed it into an entertainment paradise.

Planters add some greenery to the space.
A sprawling 1,500-square-foot multi-level deck wraps around a heated in-ground pool, complete with multiple lounging areas, space for outdoor dining and a dedicated fire table pavilion.

The backyard at night.
Where they got the Mill Street Brewery patio umbrellas is anyone's guess, but they definitely help sell the illusion that you've wandered into a backyard bar instead of someone's house.
The fire table pavilion.
Even better, the backyard furniture, decorations and pool equipment are all included in the sale, meaning the new owners could be hosting pool parties almost immediately after moving in.

The main floor bathroom.
The home has also been well maintained, with upgraded high-efficiency mechanical systems that should help keep operating costs in check.

The patio off the primary bedroom.
While homes with resort-style backyards often come with seven-figure price tags in Toronto, this one comes in at a very reasonable $749,999.

The full backyard and back of the house.
Sure, you could spend your summers fighting for a spot by a crowded public pool, or you could have one in your own backyard for less than $800,000.
