The House on the Corner

There’s something special about a home that has been truly loved.

And 1016 Kipling Avenue is exactly that kind of property.

Proudly cared for by the same family for more than 20 years, this impeccably maintained raised bungalow blends warmth, character, functionality, and opportunity in one of Etobicoke’s most desirable pockets. Set on a prominent corner lot in the heart of Islington, this is the kind of home buyers wait for: welcoming, move-in ready, and filled with future potential.

From the moment you arrive, the pride of ownership is undeniable. Inside, spacious principal rooms create a comforting sense of home, while oversized windows flood the space with natural light throughout the day. The inviting living room, anchored by a cozy fireplace, flows seamlessly into a generous family-sized dining room: the perfect backdrop for holiday gatherings, Sunday dinners, and everyday family life.

At the centre of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen that effortlessly balances modern design with timeless charm. Stunning two-tone cabinetry in rich sage green tones, paired with updated appliances and thoughtful finishes, creates a space that feels both elevated and welcoming.

The home offers three bedrooms above grade, including a unique upper-level third bedroom that adds flexibility for growing families, a home office, or a private retreat. Downstairs, a fully self-contained 2-bedroom basement apartment with separate entrance provides incredible versatility: ideal for multi-generational living, extended family, or valuable rental income to help offset carrying costs in today’s market.

What truly makes this property stand out is its location. Positioned between the highly coveted Islington City Centre and Princess-Rosethorn communities, this home offers buyers the rare opportunity to enter one of Etobicoke’s most established and prestigious neighbourhoods at a more approachable price point. Surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes, mature tree-lined streets, excellent schools, parks, golf courses, and family-oriented amenities, the area continues to be one of Toronto’s most sought-after west-end communities.
