May 2009...NEW LISTING! Call us to book an appointment to view this lovely home. Click on the Virtual Tour button to view panorama shots. And now on to this home...This is one of the few opportunities to buy a home on this demand street located just one block from the trendy Danforth with it's many shops, bistros and the subway. Consistent, architecturally handsome 3 storey Edwardian-style homes lend character and grace to this beautiful tree-lined street! Curb appeal is evident with this classic brick home thanks to the charming verandah and the front window with leaded glass insert. On entering the home you'll find an entry vestibule with coat hooks and ceramic floor...practical for keeping the cold air out from the main living space. Then open the door to the elegant combined living room and dining room. The main floor open concept renovation was featured in Toronto Star colour layouts and articles in 2003. High ceilings, crown mouldings, recessed pot lighting, a custom fireplace mantle and surround, and beautiful hardwood floors indicate the quality evident when you enter this home. Entertain in style! The kitchen is gorgeous and well designed with two banks of cupboards and storage on either side; yet room for an eat-in area for table and chairs. Hardwood flooring continues here that creates continuity and flow on the main floor. Stainless steel appliances and subway tile ceramic backsplash makes this kitchen shine! There's a walkout to a sundeck perfect for placing the BBQ here. A south-facing garden and patio is fenced for privacy. A single garage is accessed from the back lane. Going up to the second floor you'll notice that the footprint is that of a 4 bedroom home in the area's 3 storey homes. In this home, one of the 3 bedrooms on the second floor was removed during a renovation to make way for a very spacious main bathroom. This also created an extra large bedroom with two closets at the front of the home that features a lovely bay window. The back bedroom overlooking the garden is bright and is also a very good size!
The 4 piece bathroom features lots of extra built-in storage cupboards and an extra-long vanity cupboard and counter. Go on up to the 3rd floor to find a very spacious 3rd bedroom or master bedroom suite as it is now used featuring hardwood floors and two closets. The ceiling height is amazing...about 8 1/2 feet or more high! A large dormer window at the front of the home can provide lots of light (but is currently shown with a dresser in front of it). Double french doors provide privacy for the large sleeping room from the sunny landing at the back of the suite at the top of the stairs. Off the landing is a 2 piece bathroom; as well as a glass door walkout to a large south-facing sundeck with fabulous city views. The basement is currently unfinished but features a 3rd bathroom that is a two piece. The height is great so this lower level could be finished for good extra living space in this home. This home features forced air gas heating and a newer drain/sewage system from the home to the street. We see this home, once again, as a fabulous opportunity to buy in this premium locale. The space is great in this home for a growing family to work wtih and enjoy over the years. Add more value...finish the basement. Or, restore the 2nd floor to 3 bedrooms and a normal size bathroom to end up with a great 4 bedroom home!!! Frankland School is one block away; the Catholic School Holy Name (2 blocks away). The French Immersion school is Withrow in the immediate area also and within a short walk! Subway access is handy within a few blocks. This is a best buy!
