Living...Welcome to this handsome, brick three storey home in the heart of Riverdale. Inside is an inspiring contemporary architectural renovation encompassing four levels. Meticulous workmanship and a well-thought-out, creative design with many extras make this home special.

And when the leaves are in bloom, the entire home becomes very private indeed, with lush green foliage front and back. With a park at your doorstep and vibrant Danforth living...just move in and enjoy! And now the home's details (we'll walk you through it)...This tall, brick three storey residence has excellent curb appeal. Raised slightly above the street; it's interlocking brick front path, traditional wide verandah and handsome maple tree add a grand touch. Via the front door, you enter into the formal hallway. Aside from the coat closet, note these thoughtful extras: a shoe/boot cubby and the wide arched foyer counter - a stylish catch-all!
The diningroom to kitchen view displays key elements of this open concept main floor renovation. High ceilings, excellent lighting, elegant decorative wainscotting, and the light décor balanced with warm wood accents and punches of colour. Rich hardwood flooring creates a statement underfoot.
The kitchen at the front of the home features wide casement windows overlooking Withrow Park. It's well-designed with three areas of counter/prep space. Extra-tall wood cabinetry adds great extra storage. A wide breakfast dining bar doubles as a serving counter for entertaining. Four appliances are included.
The livingroom is very spacious;enhanced by the indoor/outdoor feel achieved with the view through the wide windows facing west overlooking the garden. A door opens to the lower patio. Adjacent to the livingroom and diningroom is the extra-wide central staircase that's flooded with light from the skylight above and large landing windows. Architecturally unique and designed with modern flair, its angled spindles seem to draw you up or down; and innovative wall cutouts further the open concept effect.
Go down first to the lower level that's been dug down and has over seven foot high ceilings. Notice the superior level of finishings and pot lighting. An open room is currently used as a home office, a storage/utilities room and a lovely four piece modern bathroom. Next is a very large bedroom with a double closet that's warm and cosy even in winter (a separate thermostat controls the heat).
The 2nd floor features a spacious, bright four piece bathroom with a deep whirlpool tub angled across one corner and a built-in vanity with storage below. Note the built-in cupboard above to one side. The extra large 2nd floor landing, with its lovely window, has enough space for furnishings if needed. Leading off it, one at either end, are two large bedrooms.
The front bedroom or study is bright and sunny with a bay window trimmed with warm wood overlooking the park. The central door walks out to a flat roof (formerly finished as a porch deck).
Sunshine pours into the back bedroom or family room. The open design with framed glass stairwall cutout and double glass doors on both bedrooms allow light to travel from the front to the back of this floor. Wide sliding glass doors open to a sundeck and staircase down to the garden.
The 3rd floor back bedroom is light and airy. Tall, peaked ceilings and exposed wood beams create a loft feel. Sliding glass doors bring in the light. Note the closet space in this room; and extra ones on the 3rd floor landing (one of which is cedar-lined).
The 3rd floor front master bedroom is simply a serene, beautiful treetop retreat overlooking the park. Light walls and
