A Smarter Way to Own
At 49 Howbert Drive, practicality meets peace of mind in a home that works as hard as you do.
This 4-bedroom, 2-bath backsplit in Humberlea-Pelmo Park offers something most Toronto homes can’t: a legal, income-generating basement apartment that’s already leased for $2,500/month + utilities. Whether you’re a family looking to offset your mortgage or simply value long-term flexibility, this is a home that helps you breathe easier.
Upstairs, you’ll find a bright, open-concept living and dining area with a large front window that floods the space with natural light. A proper front entry with a coat closet keeps the chaos in check, while the separate-but-adjacent kitchen offers a layout that just makes sense. There’s plenty of counter space, stainless steel appliances, and smart built-in storage—everything within easy reach but never in the way.
The two main-floor bedrooms are well-proportioned, with large windows and closets, and the family bathroom has been updated for peace of mind. Like the rest of the home, it’s been well cared for by homeowners who didn’t cut corners—just check the upgrade list: roof (2019), water heater (2022), electrical updates (2001 and 2022), downspouts and gutters (2024), and more. Every essential, taken care of.
The lower level offers even more possibilities. With its own separate entrance, the legal basement apartment features two ground-floor bedrooms (no basement bedrooms here), a bright and spacious living room, a full bathroom, and in-unit laundry. The current tenants are paying market rent, helping to significantly reduce monthly carrying costs. Utilities are shared, and the two separate laundry setups mean no awkward compromises for you—or your tenants.
Outside, you’ll find a fully paved backyard that’s private and low-maintenance, plus a large two-car garage and a long private drive that easily fits six more vehicles. The front porch is another highlight—sunny, spacious, and upgraded with new railings, sunshades, and steps. Whether you’re sipping coffee while the kids pack up for school or unwinding after work, it’s an ideal spot to pause and take a breath.
Set on a 31 x 129 ft lot in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood, this home strikes the right balance between city convenience and day-to-day calm. Humberlea-Pelmo Park is home to culturally diverse, upper-middle-income families who appreciate having everything close at hand—shopping, dining, walking trails, cycling routes, and easy access to the 401. It’s the kind of place where neighbours look out for each other and homes are proudly maintained.
If you’ve been waiting for a move-in ready freehold that aligns with your values—solid, strategic, and built for real life—this might just be the one.

About Humberlea-Pelmo Park
Quiet, Connected, and Surprisingly Convenient
Life at 49 Howbert Drive strikes the right balance between calm and connected. The immediate neighbourhood is residential and peaceful—the kind of street where neighbours nod hello and kids ride scooters after dinner—but you’re never far from what you need.
In five minutes, you can be on the 401 at Weston Road or merging onto the 400—ideal for commuters or anyone who needs easy access across the city or out of town. Weston GO and the UP Express are just six minutes away, getting you to Union Station in under 20 minutes without the downtown price tag.
Weekend errands are easy, too. Whether it’s a quick LCBO run, restocking at Bulk Barn, grabbing a treat from Caldense Bakery or picking up sushi or pizza along Weston Road, everything’s close enough to feel effortless. You’ve even got Dollarama for the last-minute school project scramble.
And when it’s time to unwind, you’ve got options: Pelmo Park, Weston Village Park, and the Humber River Recreation Trail are all within walking distance. There’s room to roam, space to stretch your legs, and places for the kids (or the dog) to burn off some energy.
This isn’t a trendy neighbourhood—and that’s part of the appeal. It’s practical, friendly, and real. Just like the home.
