87 Kent Rd

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street just north of trendy Queen St East, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends the best of Beach and Leslieville living. From the moment you step inside, the open-concept main floor feels inviting with a brick hearth anchoring the living room. Large front windows with custom light-filtering blinds fill the space with soft light by day and include privacy shades for evenings. The welcoming kitchen boasts an induction range with a convection oven (optional gas hook-up still present), shaker cabinetry, and an easy walk-out to the back deck - ideal for outdoor dinners or entertaining while kids play safely in the fenced yard. A beautiful, exposed-brick wall leads you upstairs to warm pine floors. The spacious primary bedroom retreat, with cathedral ceilings, and a skylit loft space, is a peaceful space to recharge. Two more bedrooms, with closets, and a 4-piece family bathroom complete this level. The lower level adds flexibility with a finished family room for movie nights, a stylish powder room, and a large laundry and storage room to keep everything organized. Upgrades abound with Central Air and a furnace connected to HEPA Airwash Filtration, plus an installed Energy Recovery Ventilation Air Exchanger. Other upgrades include Eufy cameras, a Ring Doorbell and Key Code lock entry. Outside, the backyard offers two-tiered decking, a sunny back yard area, and a custom-built bench with storage for at least four bicycles. The new fence (2025) with laneway access adds convenience and peace of mind. Out front, the covered porch offers a shady spot to relax, rain or shine. With plenty of street parking and an unbeatable location - a short distance to strolling on the boardwalk along the lake, multiple parks with splash pads, swimming or skating at Greenwood Park, multiple TTC routes, a 5-minute bus ride to the subway and more - this is a home where everyday family life feels just a little bit easier, and a lot more special.
