Property Description
Charming red brick home on wide corner lot in Allenby. This deceivingly large 1.5 storey renovated home is a very rare condo alternative, allowing local residents to retire in place in the community they cherish. Renovated in many areas by the existing owner with attention and tribute paid to the charming original features of the home’s past.
The pretty principal spaces will accommodate your existing furnishings and allow you to continue still host all of your large family gatherings. The living room is an inviting and comfortable entertaining space, recessed into a large bay window and equipped with a wood burning fireplace and flanking built-in shelves. Sight lines from the living room carry through to the dining room which is lined with original wainscotting and leaded glass windows. It connects directly to the kitchen which was renovated in 2016 with new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and durable granite countertops. A built-in servery with additional storage transitions the kitchen to the main floor family room, a comfortable informal space to be enjoyed on this level.
The primary suite is impressive, offering a king-sized bedroom with an electric fireplace, built-in cabinetry, a walk-in closet, a separate shoe closet, and a beautifully renovated four-piece ensuite bathroom. The bedroom has a tandem home office that has attached shelves and is a quiet and more secluded work space to utilize.
On the second floor, the open concept loft can be used with versatility. It is currently used as a guest bedroom with a double closet, built-in shelves, a work space and multiple skylights, but could be a light filled art studio or home office. This guest or hobby space is serviced by a renovated three-piece bathroom at the base of the stairs.
The lower level is finished with a large recreation room, an additional full bedroom suite, a sauna (as-is), four-piece bathroom, a large laundry room and two large storage rooms. There is a walk-out from the basement stairs to the pretty side garden which has been enclosed and professionally hard-scaped to make for an enjoyable and very private urban garden to enjoy.
One of the stand-out offerings of this home is the attached two-car garage with additional parking for two cars on the private driveway. So rare is it to find four car parking in central Toronto, let alone when you downsize from a larger property.
The property is set on a corner lot with a dead-end component that keeps traffic and noise to a minimum. It is within walking distance to the amazing shops and boutiques on Eglinton Avenue West, as well as the future LRT. Set within the Allenby Public School district, and amongst an amazing enclave of residents with great pride of ownership.
This is an outstanding pied-a-terre, downsize, or couple’s house that has been carefully renovated, cherished and preserved. Please review the photos and additional property details and reach out directly with any additional questions that you may have.
