54 Warner Ave

On Warner Avenue, where the street ends in a leafy park and the hum of the city softens, sits a brick bungalow that’s been in the same family since 1963. First time on the market, this home delivers the promise of what comes next. For the buyer who understands potential, 54 Warner Ave is an opportunity to secure a detached house with a private drive in a family-friendly pocket for under $1M—something that’s getting harder to find across the GTA.

Set on a 50 x 100 ft lot, the property offers both privacy and breathing room. The front yard, fully enclosed by hedges, feels like a green buffer from the street. Out back, the fenced yard and side patio create a safe, quiet space for kids, pets, or long summer evenings outside. There’s an attached garage and private drive—practical touches that add to the everyday ease of life here.

Inside, the house has a timeless layout that already works. Raised above street level, the combined living and dining room feels bright and open thanks to a picture window that floods the space with natural light. The separate eat-in kitchen keeps the mealtime chaos tucked out of sight until you’re ready to tackle the dishes. Three proper bedrooms and a family bathroom round out the main floor. The primary bedroom even has direct access to the bathroom—a feature that was ahead of its time when the home was built.

Downstairs, the finished basement extends the living space. A large rec room invites movie nights, kids’ play, or family gatherings, while a fourth bedroom next to the home’s second bathroom is perfect for when the in-laws decide to extend their stay for a couple more days. Thanks to its side entrance, the lower level can easily adapt—whether that means an in-law suite, a tenant apartment, or just the flexibility to spread out.

54 Warner Ave offers the opportunity to shape the existing home to fit the vision on your Pinterest boards, or to take the larger leap and reimagine the property entirely with a custom new build home. The home is being sold as-is, and the finishes reflect its 1963 origins, but that’s the appeal. You don’t have to pay for someone else’s plan (and questionable design choices).  And the fundamentals are already solid: brick construction, a smart use of space, and some recent big-ticket updates, including a new roof (2020), furnace and AC (2022), and hot water tank (2024).

Beyond the property lines, the neighbourhood strengthens the case. Warner Park is literally at the end of the street, with a playground and direct access to the coming Crosstown LRT stop. Along the Golden Mile of Eglinton Ave E, you’ll find everyday convenience and more—Walmart Supercentre, Adonis, No Frills, The Honest Butcher, Canadian Tire, and Cineplex Odeon Eglinton Town Centre—all just minutes away. Eglinton Square Shopping Centre, Circles & Squares Bakery, schools, and other daily essentials are close at hand, and commuters will appreciate the quick connections to the DVP and 401. This is a community with a mix of generations and a strong family presence—the kind of place where kids still play outside and neighbours stop to chat.

54 Warner Ave isn’t about instant perfection. It’s about securing land, space, and location at a price point that makes sense, and then shaping a home that fits your family’s life for decades to come. Whether that means renovating the existing bungalow or building something entirely new, buyers who recognize the value of that equation—and the upside of being ahead of the neighbourhood’s transformation—will see exactly what makes this property rare.
