Welcome to 156 Leslie St - where the charm is real, the upgrades are major, and the smart money knows what's up! Gutted and rebuilt with permits in 2016 (and done right), this isn't just a pretty face, its a full-scale transformation: Third-floor addition creating a primary suite w ensuite bathroom & private balcony w CN Tower views? Yup! Upgraded HVAC, plumbing, wiring (hello, Cat6 in every room), updated windows, insulation, soundproofing, a repoured basement floor & a backflow valve? Yes, yes and YES! This is the kind of thoughtful, behind-the-walls work that makes your parents swoon, and the kind of space, interior & exterior upgrades and neighbourhood you've been dreaming of: over 1500 sq ft above grade plus a finished basement with apprx 7 ceilings. 3 bedrooms plus an open office (easy 4th br), closets in every room (including two in the primary), 3 bathrooms incl a main floor powder room, open concept living and dining rooms, a large custom kitchen with stone counters, induction range, breakfast area and wall-to-wall sliding door walkout to the backyard, AND an insulated front foyer with double closet & built in storage - yes, room for all the boots and bags! The basement offers a rec room, built-ins & laundry room. Did we mention the 2nd west facing balcony for sunset bubbly? Yeah that too! On the ground, enjoy a rare 21x131 west-facing lot with a 2-car private drive, hardscaped walkway, built-in outdoor storage including bike shed, and a backyard sanctuary featuring a powered studio, gas BBQ hookup, gardens, deck, and hardscaped play areas (no grass to cut!). Garden suite potential. Steps to Queen East, the streetcar, elementary schools & Riverdale High, Loblaws, Gerrard Square, parks (incl Greenwood Park w outdoor pool & rink), trails, and everything cool in the east end. Easy access to major highways & walking distance to future Ontario Line. This is the house you buy when you're smart and stylish and ready for a long-term love affair with Leslieville!
