DANFORTH VILLAGE
The Perfect Starter Home
44 Bastedo Ave
Toronto ON
Coming to MLS June 9
Semi-Detached 2-Storey
2 Bedroom + 1 Bathroom
Welcome to one of the most loved streets in Toronto's east end.
This charming 100+ year old semi-detached has been extensively renovated (over $65K in upgrades since 2022) and it shows from the moment you walk through the new front door. The main floor is open concept and genuinely sunny, with hardwood floors throughout and a warm, scandi-inspired aesthetic that feels considered rather than trend-chasing. This is a home that has been cared for, and it reads that way.
The heart of the home is the fully renovated kitchen: heated floors, new potlights, new cabinets, new appliances, a widened entry, and a sliding door walkout to the deck and fully fenced yard. It's the kind of kitchen that makes you want to actually cook. Upstairs, two good-sized bedrooms with closets and hardwood floors offer a calm, comfortable retreat. The full-height unfinished basement is clean and ready for whoever wants to take it further: the space is a rec room, additional guest bedroom and/or second bath waiting to happen.
The work outside has been done too. New railings, new interlocking front walkway, new soffits and gutter guards, and a new front door that makes a great first impression. The backyard has a deck, a fully fenced grassy yard, and two sheds for storage. This is a genuinely move-in ready home with nothing left on the to-do list: just unpack and enjoy the neighbourhood.

Welcome to Danforth Village
Bastedo Ave is one of those streets people move to and stay on for decades. The community here is real and tight-knit: neighbours who know each other, a street that shows up for itself, and a collective pride that's visible from the front porch. There's an annual street festival called Bashtedo, a Halloween block that draws people from across the neighbourhood, and the kind of community energy that makes this feel less like a street and more like a village within the city. The bottom of Bastedo opens directly onto Small's Creek Ravine, with a new boardwalk that winds through to a dog park: an ideal daily walk for families and pet owners alike. East Lynn Park is steps away, offering a weekly summer farmers market and a community skating rink in winter. Monarch Park's outdoor pool, Earl Haig PS, and more than five parks, pools, and splash pads are all within easy walking distance.
The everyday conveniences are just as strong. Wood Owl (listed in the Michelin Guide) is a short walk away, as are Red Rocket Coffee, Celena's Bakery, Gelato on the Danny, the public library, and Shoppers Drug Mart. Both Woodbine and Coxwell subway stations are walkable, putting downtown well within reach on transit. And when the weekend calls for sun and sand, Woodbine Beach is just a quick bike ride away. Danforth Village at its very best.
