This $749K Toronto House Comes with a Pool and a Price Drop
In the middle of a scorching Toronto summer, a home like this feels like a rare find. Located in Scarborough’s Oakridge neighbourhood, 2 Leyton Avenue is one of the cheapest detached houses with a pool currently for sale in the city. Listed at $749K and it even comes in below its 2023 sale price — a surprising twist in today’s unpredictable real estate market.
Summer-Ready and Family-Friendly
This three-bedroom home offers more than just affordability. It backs onto the peaceful greenery of Oakridge Park and features a private backyard pool, waterproofed just last year, with a deck area that’s perfect for lounging in the sun or working from home with a cold drink in hand.
While it’s not an inground pool, Toronto residents know — when it feels like 40°C outside, any pool is a good pool.
A Price Drop That Turns Heads
The home sold for $880,000 in 2023, but now hits the market at $749,000. That’s over $130K lower, despite visible upgrades to the space. The reason? Possibly an attempt to spark a bidding war. The listing agent hasn’t confirmed this yet, but in today’s cooling market, pricing low is a common tactic.
Interior Upgrades and Extra Space

Inside, the house is move-in ready with a refreshed look:
- Main floor: Bright living room with new paint and window shades
- Kitchen: Updated with new cabinet doors, backsplash, pantry space, and even bar stools included
- Bedrooms: Three in total, one with a walk-out deck and another with a rustic barn door upgrade
- Basement: Features a separate entrance, kitchenette, sleeping area, hydro-massage tub, wood-burning fireplace, and even a recording room
Other pluses include a garage, large laundry area, garden shed, and no rental equipment. However, the home does not have central air conditioning, a possible dealbreaker for some — though the pool helps offset that in the summer heat.
A Rare East Side Opportunity?
In a city where the average home price in Oakridge now exceeds $1 million, this listing stands out as a potential steal. It offers rare value, especially for buyers looking for space, a yard, and summer-ready perks without breaking the seven-figure mark.
Would you trade air conditioning for your own private backyard pool in Toronto — especially at this price?
