15 Eastbourne Crescent, Mimico M8V 1W5

Description

Along the quieter shores of Lake Ontario, this Mimico Craftsman stands as a tribute to early 20th-century ambition. Built by skilled tradesmen drawn to coveted streets-where cottages became permanent homes and permanent homes became landmarks. 15 Eastbourne captures the soul of Mimico itself. A lower-pitched roofline shelters a wide, stone-clad covered porch. Overhangs catch the breeze. Tapered columns rest on brick pedestals. Inside, the glow of the wood-burning fireplace reflects in hand-fitted built-ins, while leaded stained-glass catches the silver light only a Great Lake can offer. The oak woodwork was shaped by artisans who believed a home should be honest about what it's made of. These homes were built to last-and they have.The main level flows with quiet confidence. An original built-in bench greets you in the foyer with hidden storage and a full closet beside. Living and dining rooms are generous and connected, divided by custom Arts & Crafts built-ins that frame the sightline from front window to yard beyond. The sunroom is perfect for a quiet morning and opens to a covered side entrance- was once home to a powder room and ready again. The kitchen offers the calm of an authentic cook's space, where food is nurtured rather than rushed. Pause on the quintessential Craftsman staircase and admire the cantilevered window box before heading up. The second level surprises with its scale. Every room offers storage and history. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the home beneath a vaulted ceiling built to hold bigger dreams. The family bath is fully updated and finished in keeping with the home's heritage.The lower level is full-sized, clean, and accessible via a separate side entrance-functional now and ready to reimagine. The generous lot creates a prominent setback, private drive, and fenced yard that give this home its presence. This is the home people reroute their evening walks to pass. Now imagine living in it. Minutes to Mimico TTC and Mimico GO.
