Finding a detached home in Toronto that balances character, modern updates, flexible living space and everyday convenience isn't always easy. 5A Scotia Avenue in Toronto's Oakridge neighbourhood brings those elements together in a home designed for real life.
Offered at $899,000 and located near Warden Avenue and Danforth Avenue, this updated detached brick home offers 3+1 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a finished basement with a self-contained in-law suite, and private parking for four vehicles — all on a 30 x 118-foot lot.
Whether you're looking for room for a growing family, space for extended family, or a home that offers additional flexibility downstairs, there's plenty to discover here.
Updated Interiors Made for Everyday Living
Step inside and the home immediately feels warm and cohesive, with hardwood flooring extending throughout the principal living areas.
The updated kitchen is one of the highlights. Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, porcelain flooring and contemporary finishes give the space a clean, modern look without sacrificing practicality.
Even better, the kitchen provides a walkout to the spacious sun deck.
It's easy to imagine this becoming part of your everyday routine: coffee outside on a quiet morning, dinner on the deck after work, or a relaxed weekend gathering with friends and family.
A Rare Main-Floor Bathroom — Plus Laundry
Sometimes it's the practical features that make the biggest difference once you're actually living in a home.
The main level at 5A Scotia Ave includes a three-piece bathroom and laundry, an especially useful combination for busy households.
Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms along with a newer four-piece bathroom featuring updated fixtures and finishes.
Together, the layout provides clearly defined living and sleeping spaces while remaining comfortable and functional for everyday family life.
A Self-Contained In-Law Suite Adds Flexibility
One of this Oakridge home's most notable features is downstairs.
The finished basement contains a separate, self-contained in-law suite with its own private laundry facilities.
That opens up several possibilities depending on your needs. It could provide private space for extended family, accommodate an older child or relative, or potentially offer supplementary rental income.
The suite is currently occupied by a tenant paying $1,300 per month, who is willing to either remain or vacate.
For buyers thinking beyond their immediate needs, that flexibility can be particularly valuable.
Four-Car Parking on a 30 x 118-Foot Lot
Parking is another feature worth highlighting, especially for households with multiple drivers.
The property offers four private parking spaces, providing considerably more flexibility than you'll find with many Toronto homes.
The 30 x 118-foot lot also gives the property comfortable outdoor space, including the sun deck that extends the home's living area outside during Toronto's warmer months.
Living in Oakridge: Connected to Toronto's East End
Location is a major part of the appeal of 5A Scotia Avenue.
Oakridge offers a residential setting while keeping everyday necessities and transportation within convenient reach. Schools, parks and community facilities are nearby, along with shopping, restaurants, services and other daily essentials.
For commuters, the Warden and Danforth location provides access to TTC service and GO Transit connections, making travel through Toronto and elsewhere in the GTA more manageable.
The neighbourhood's east-end location also puts residents within easy reach of surrounding communities including Birch Cliff, Clairlea and Scarborough, while remaining connected to the rest of Toronto.
For buyers who want a neighbourhood feel without becoming disconnected from the city, Oakridge deserves a closer look.
Who Could 5A Scotia Avenue Be Right For?
What makes this property interesting is that it doesn't fit only one type of buyer.
A family may appreciate the three upstairs bedrooms, nearby schools, outdoor space and four-car parking.
A multigenerational household could make excellent use of the self-contained lower-level suite.
A buyer looking for some income potential may appreciate that the basement is already tenanted.
And someone moving from a condo or townhome may simply be ready for the privacy and additional flexibility that comes with a detached Toronto home and a 30 x 118-foot lot.
At $899,000, the combination of a detached home, updated interior, four-car parking and additional lower-level living space makes 5A Scotia Avenue an interesting option for buyers exploring Toronto's east end.
