Welcome to 84 Kimbark Boulevard, a turn-key four bedroom, three bathroom home clad in red brick and nestled in the desirable Otter Creek neighbourhood. This home has been lovingly renovated and meticulously cared for by its current owners, and offers a confident move-up home for young families in this quiet residential neighbourhood with a bounty of community benefits.
A vestibule entry with custom storage is a catch-all for coats, boots and seasonal gear. The floor plan then opens to the centre hall design that balances the formal principal spaces and the interactive informal rooms. Sun sweeps through the living and dining rooms from oversized east and west facing picture windows. These combined rooms are centered upon a new gas fireplace with a stone surround and custom mantle. Two entry points from these pretty principal rooms lead to the interactive kitchen and family room, with a show-piece kitchen that was completely renovated by the current owners in 2014. A large centre island is topped with timeless and durable granite, offers seating for up to four guests and is equipped with a second sink and customized storage below it. The island overlooks the highly functional layout of the working kitchen with stainless appliances and a bounty of storage. Opposite this gorgeous space is the main floor family room, with an east-facing bay window and new hardwood flooring.
One of the home’s unique benefits is the fabulous sunroom addition. It is lined with new windows, offers heated floors, and is connected to a walk-out that leads to the expansive deck and picturesque garden. Set to entertain, the gardens have been designed in a way to enjoy quiet family barbeques, hold separate conversation areas on the stone patio, or host whatever kid-friendly equipment is required on the large grass pitch. The gardens have unobstructed views over the gardens of neighbouring properties, so sight-lines from the back of the house are green and lush. Not easily seen is the shaded dog run at the north west corner of the property, allowing your family pet to enjoy the outdoors while the owners are away at work and school.
The second floor holds four generous bedrooms and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. The primary bedroom is complete with a tandem dressing room, two additional closets within the bedroom itself, and a concealed five-piece ensuite with a separate tub/shower, double vanity and an abundance of storage. Three additional bedrooms all have closets, can hold large bedroom sets, and share access to a beautifully renovated four-piece bathroom with a custom glass-shielded tub.
The lower level of this home offers even more space to unwind and entertain. A large recreation room has multiple above-grade windows, more built-in storage, and optionality around a combination with a home gym. Additionally, a spacious laundry room features a separate soaking sink, extra built-in cabinetry, and a cedar-lined closet for added convenience.
An attached single-car garage with direct access to the rear garden makes lawn care and maintenance easily accessible. The home is serviced by a double-wide private driveway with parking for up to four cars, or an awesome court for a neighbourhood game of basketball.
Situated on a quiet residential street, this home benefits from incredibly friendly neighbors and a wonderful sense of community. Families will appreciate the proximity to renowned schools such as John Ross Robertson, Havergal College, Glenview SR, and Lawrence Park CI. Everyday amenities along Avenue Road, including Shopper’s Drug Mart, Starbucks, and Pusateri’s fine foods are within easy walking distance. For those seeking an active lifestyle, this low-traffic enclave offers seamless access to the ravine systems and walking trails.
