Welcome to 253 Bartlett Avenue, nestled in the heart of Dovercourt Village, one of Toronto's most charming and family-friendly neighbourhoods! A true throwback neighbourhood where kids still play outside, families know their neighbours, and there's a real sense of community. Offered for the first time in over 70 years, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for generations and is ready for its next chapter. The location is hard to beat! Dovercourt School is directly across the street, Dovercourt Park is just down the road, and the Boys and Girls Club is only steps away. You're also just a five-minute walk to Bloor St. and the subway and moments from trendy Geary Avenue, known for its fantastic restaurants, cafés, breweries, and creative local spots. Enjoy the privacy of your backyard and deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the home offers plenty of potential, including a second-floor kitchen that could easily be converted back into a bedroom, offering flexibility for extended family or a possible in-law suite. A rare opportunity to put down roots in a neighbourhood where community still means something. Come see what makes Dovercourt Village so special!
