Looking to walk everywhere, including U of T and TMU, from garden home?

Description

We are a retired couple, myself a lawyer, with some years teaching at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, and my husband an international urban designer and planner, with some terms as adjunct professor. After raising our two children in the house, from their birth to their university careers, and retiring from our careers, we want to experiment with living in a small town. The house is a century home, but filled with charm, and vintage characteristics. While our kitchen's french doors open to a patio under our grape vine, and our garden beyond is an oasis of nature in the city, we are trying small-town living where we have a new secondary home until September 2025. We took most of our furniture with us, but let us know what your furniture needs are, and we may be able to meet those needs, as long as they are minimal. The neighbours are great, and the neighbourhood parks, cafes, markets and restaurants top-notch. If you want to leave the neighbourhood, there is a bike-share stand around the corner on Harbord, with other bike stations/stands throughout the city, including on campuses. Also, there are safe and convenient bike baths leading to the lake and ferry, to Kensington Market and to the business district. We often cycle to the lake for a swim, and to the university pool in the winter. The subway station is a 7 minute walk away from the house. We generally use our car only to leave the city.
