21 Hanna Road

Custom built in 2001, this is the quintessential detached family home in South Leaside. It is a cherished four (+1) bedroom home offering approximately 2100 square feet of above-grade living space, the home has a very inviting and comfortable appeal to it on every level. Given that it is only 23 years old, it just feels solid with real hardwood lining its floors, ever so slightly widened hallways for a larger feel throughout, and consistent levels on each floor without steps up or down in bedrooms or the family room.  These subtle details compared to its counterparts propel this home to be a cut above the rest, and the lucky family who purchases it will no doubt share the pride and confidence in it that the current residents do.

The generous foyer entry with a double coat closet and tile flooring with an inlay detail opens to the interiors of this home where you can immediately notice how much natural light pours into the living spaces. The pretty living room with a bay window overlooks the green fields of Rolph Road and holds a refurbished gas fireplace with a traditional mantle surround. The dining room has a large south-facing window, subtle crown mouldings, and large wall space for formal sideboards or artwork. A two-piece powder room is cleverly tucked away atop the staircase to the lower level and just off the dining room, making it a concealed and appropriate setting for guests or everyday use.

At the rear of the main floor, the coveted kitchen/family room expands to provide a bright and cheery casual retreat for families to enjoy every day. The kitchen was recently upgraded with a new tile backsplash and nearly all new appliances (save for the excellent gas cooktop). Durable granite countertops with large surface spaces allow for multiple work zones in this kitchen, as well as atop the large breakfast bar setting on the island.  A tandem breakfast room is recessed in perfectly beside the kitchen, allowing for everyday informal dining occasions, not something all Leaside floor plans allow for.  The family room spans the entire rear of the main floor making it a very welcoming and comfortable space for important family connections to be had.  Multiple windows and a french door walk-out overlook the rear deck and private garden setting, where no other houses or interference is had from neighbouring properties. 

Outside the home, a new cedar deck is large enough to allow for both lounging and dining options, and it steps down to the grassy and fully private backyard that is wrapped with mature greenery. A new garden shed has been built on a concrete pad, providing storage for all landscaping and outdoor recreational equipment. The exterior grounds of the home are lovingly cared for and nurtured by the current owners, and the quiet garden setting is one of the most cherished aspects of this home.

On the second floor of this home there are four bedrooms and two updated five-piece bathrooms. The landing is particularly noticeable when you get to the second floor, as it offers that extra bit of elbow room, giving the second floor a larger sense of space and airiness about it. 

The primary bedroom is at the back of the home and is the current homeowner’s favourite room in the home as it consistently provides a quiet retreat at the end of the day with generous proportions and tree-lined private views from both windows.  The bedroom has his/her double closets, and a very large five-piece ensuite bathroom with a separate soaking tub and glass-encased shower, as well as an updated vanity with new sinks and quartz countertops.

The other three bedrooms are sun-filled and share access to another oversized five-piece bathroom with an upgraded vanity. There is also a large linen closet in the hallway, and more windows filling this second floor with cheery natural light.

In the finished lower level there are opportunities for work, recreation or sleeping quarters. At the base of the stairs in the basement lies a perfectly outfitted recreation room for watching the Jays or Leafs with friends.  A larger recreation space at the back of the basement provides an extra expanse for children to play, parents to work out, and homework to be done. A noise-insulated homework room was formerly used as a music studio by a previous owner. Beside it, currently used as storage, a noise-insulated recording studio is also in place. 

Leaside is known for being an incredible family community for good reason, and you will continue to enjoy the benefits of this as you grow into this perfectly maintained and upgraded family home.  Children can literally cross the street and the fields of Rolph Road to get to school each day or use on a daily basis as their extended backyard. The school has a strong parent involvement, strengthening the ties within this community.  Amenities are available in every direction from this home with walking boutique shops available on Bayview Avenue, or big box stores on Laird just minutes away. Quickly get downtown or out of town with the connection to the DVP from the Bayview extension.

21 Hanna Road is a solid, perfectly maintained, and truly cherished family home offering an absolutely turn-key option for one lucky Leaside family to enjoy.  Set in one of the most coveted of neighbourhoods within the City of Toronto with amenities both within the house and surrounding its perimeter to enjoy, this is a fabulous opportunity that is not to be missed!
