The Details
Love Me Like You Do!
Look at this proud little 1922 Edwardian! Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined street named Wheatfield (a name as cute as this very house) is a solid and squeezable, two-storey residence thoughtfully built during a time when attention to proportion, craftsmanship, and natural light defined residential expansion across Toronto’s West End. From its low-pitched gable roof and symmetrical façade to the classic front porch overhang—perfect for morning coffees and neighbourly hellos—this home is as warm in spirit as it is rooted in history. A 34 x 124 ft lot with a private drive and parking for four cars provides rare breathing room in this beloved lakeside community. Inside, period details abound: original millwork, solid-core doors, and multi-paned windows work together to create a tactile sense of character that isn’t so easy to find! The home’s centre-hall layout promotes easy flow between defined principal rooms, while generous ceiling heights and abundant sunlight add to its ambiance of calm and comfort. Hardwood flooring stretches across both levels, complementing the home’s clean lines, freshly painted white walls and balanced proportions. The kitchen? Bright, functional, and thoughtfully updated features a stylish two-tone palette of creamy white uppers and rich green lower cabinets, all set against sleek stainless steel countertops for a clean, modern contrast. The second floor features three well-sized bedrooms and a full four-piece bathroom, while the partially finished basement offers bonus space with a three-piece bath—ideal for a rec room, studio, or future guest suite. Finally, step through your dining room French doors to a lush, private & fenced-in backyard with a lattice-screened deck—an extension of the dining space and a nod to the home’s Craftsman influences. Set within the historical fabric of Mimico—a neighbourhood that blossomed from a cottage-lined lakeside village into a cherished residential pocket—this little white house has your magical home-sweet-home potential!
Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.

Mimico remains one of Toronto’s best-kept secrets—an evolving pocket where lakeside living meets urban accessibility. Set along the western edge of the city’s waterfront, Mimico offers residents a coveted balance: serene, small-town charm with a front-row seat to the skyline and seamless access to downtown, major highways, and both Pearson and Billy Bishop airports.
Anchored by its connection to Lake Ontario, the neighbourhood’s defining feature is its abundant green space and spectacular waterfront trail system. Locals can be found cycling along the Martin Goodman Trail, paddleboarding off the shore, or unwinding with a morning coffee at Humber Bay Park. Just steps away, Mimico Waterfront Park offers 1.1km of multi-use trails, a boardwalk, wetlands, and wildlife habitat—an urban escape that feels worlds away from the city.
On dry land, the neighbourhood is dotted with community-oriented parks like John English Grounds, Mimico Memorial Park, and Lake Crescent Park—all offering playgrounds, sports fields, tennis courts, and wading pools for active living close to home.
Transit is another significant win here. The Mimico GO Station is a quick walk from most residential pockets, offering fast access to Union Station in under 15 minutes. And for day-to-day convenience, local TTC stops along Lake Shore Boulevard West keep the entire city within easy reach.
The community is deeply rooted and quietly tight-knit, where neighbours know each other’s names and Saturday mornings mean a stroll to the local bakery or farmers’ market. Restaurants and coffee shops line the main arteries, blending long-time local haunts with buzzy new openings catering to established residents and young professionals staking their claim on the city’s western edge. Everything is close to home, from independent boutiques to essential amenities, including the Queensway, Sherway Gardens, Farm Boy, IKEA, Costco and more!
Whether you’re drawn to the water, the walking trails, or the promise of growth without giving up calm, Mimico is a place where you can still catch your breath, without missing a single beat!
