About this home

WHY BUY A CONDO WHEN YOU CAN OWN A HOUSE IN RIVERDALE? Welcome to 311 Bain Avenue, a charming, character-filled freehold home offering an incredible opportunity to put down roots in one of Toronto's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Perfect for first-time buyers, this delightful home delivers something a condo simply can't - your very own magnificent south-facing backyard, offering exceptional privacy, beautiful views and plenty of room to entertain, garden or simply relax in the sunshine. Step inside and discover a home filled with warmth, character and an abundance of natural light. The inviting main-floor living and dining rooms are perfect for everyday living and hosting family and friends, while beautiful hardwood floors add timeless appeal throughout. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, and the finished lower level offers valuable additional living space with a convenient walkout to the backyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. AND THEN THERE'S THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! There's a reason people fall in love with Riverdale. It's the walkability, the sense of community, the incredible parks and the independent shops, cafés and restaurants that make everyday living so special. Start your morning with a coffee from The Shmooz, take the dog for a stroll through Withrow Park or Riverdale Park, and grab a delicious pizza from One Night Only. The subway, Danforth shops and restaurants are all within easy reach, with even more connectivity on the horizon thanks to the future Ontario Line. A FREEHOLD HOME. A BEAUTIFUL PRIVATE BACKYARD. AN INCREDIBLE RIVERDALE LIFESTYLE. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up from condo living or simply looking for a special place to call your own, 311 Bain Avenue is an opportunity worth getting excited about. Your chance to own a little piece of Riverdale starts here.
