This place is a time capsule with a lived-in soul, and it's priced at $4,299,000. It's a 4-bed, 3-bath Victorian farmhouse on a 32.2 by 93 foot lot with a white picket fence. The photos show original hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and that classic wrap-around porch that's made for evening hangouts. What's wild is the ground floor layout: there's a library and a family room alongside the living and dining rooms, so the main floor goes on forever. Upstairs, there's a primary bedroom and three more beds, all on the second level. The basement is finished with a rec room and laundry, so you get real usable extra space. It's all original character, not a flip. You're two minutes' walk to the boardwalk and Lake Ontario, and the Balmy Beach Club is right there for summer afternoons. Toronto East General is 3.8 km away, and Kew Gardens is 1.2 km. Market's hot: median sold price nearby is $1.299M, but this one's way above that due to the location and the size. You'll feel the lake breeze from the porch. This is a rare one, genuinely unique for the area.
