245 Wanless Avenue

Imagine having the serenity of park views from the front of your home as well as quiet ravine views from the back! This extra-wide three (+1) bedroom home in Wanless Park is the turn-key opportunity to experience the amazing community benefits of this family-orientated city setting.  

A large covered front porch opens to a generously sized foyer where sight lines into the home immediately impress upon you the noticeably wide floor plan of this 31-foot lot provides. The living room is recessed into a large bay window with green park views and offers a gas fireplace that is flanked with built-ins for functional storage needs. Carrying into the home, the dining room is lined with pretty wainscotting details, and is lightened from a French door walk-out to the west-facing deck and garden canopy beyond it. The dining room is open-concept to the beautifully renovated kitchen with painted wooden cabinetry, new quartz countertops and a timeless white backsplash. Adjacent to this fabulous culinary workspace is a breakfast room that is tucked into a second bay window with tree-lined views of the garden and ravine behind the home. The breakfast room is lined with custom storage and also has a walk-out to the private deck and barbecue area (with a direct gas line). 

On the second floor, three large bedrooms and a tandem nursery await. The primary bedroom holds king-sized proportions and three large windows that continue to emphasize the direct connection to Wanless Park. There is a walk-in dressing room which can be renovated into a customized walk-in closet, or perhaps an ensuite bathroom is in your future within this space? The other two bedrooms both have closets, and the third bedroom has a fabulous tandem room that is set into the trees. This tandem room offers a versatile use of the space as a nursery, home office, or homework room for children. 

In the lower level, a large recreation room awaits with built-in shelves, a gas fireplace, laundry room and multiple storage closets. A bedroom was added to the basement by the current owners and serves as a great teenager suite with access to a three-piece bathroom, or treat this as your home office with the above-grade window & extra b/i storage. 

Outside, the green space wrapping around this home is incredible and will disconnect you with the reality that you’re living in a world-class city. The west-facing deck steps down to the landscaped garden beds, and continues through a pergola entryway to a secret ravine garden space beyond the garage.  Parking can be accessed in the garage and as well one additional car can be set beside the garage for two car total parking. 

At the front of the home, easily cross the street to the greenspace of Wanless Park where children can freely play, gather and enjoy the community of residents within this outstanding neighbourhood.  There are tennis courts, a basketball court, a baseball diamond, wading pool, and an expanse of green space to be enjoyed.  Residents can walk to Bedford Park public school (k-8), Toronto French School, Crescent School, Yonge Street and the ravine systems.  

245 Wanless Avenue is an inviting and turn-key family home within this incredible enclave of residents in Wanless Park with community benefits that will not be fully appreciated until you live here.
