180 Willow Avenue

This Balmy Beach gem checks every box. A front porch perched beneath mature trees, made for long coffee chats. Step inside to a living room that glows around the gas fireplace, and a dining room that practically begs for family dinners that stretch late into the evening. Then there's the kitchen, with its centre island, stone counters, built-in desk, and cozy sitting nook framed by a trio of windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Upstairs, a skylight floods the hallway with natural light, leading to three generous bedrooms, including a king-sized primary, and a stylish renovated family bathroom. With direct access to the backyard, the walk-out lower level surprises with soaring ceilings, a finished rec room, and a second renovated 4-piece bathroom. One of the home's most practical features is the bright mudroom with built-in storage, creating the perfect landing spot when coming and going from the rare two-car laneway parking. Outside, flagstone pathways wind through lush gardens beneath a canopy of mature trees, creating a setting that feels more cottage retreat than city home. The deep lot offers exciting future potential, with many neighbouring Willow Avenue properties already featuring laneway homes. Coveted Balmy Beach School is just up the street, the boardwalk and lake are a short stroll south, and the shops and cafés of Queen Street are mere steps away. The YMCA, grocery stores, and parks are all within easy walking distance. Add the quintessential Beach charm and character, and you've got the kind of home people wait for!
