83 Cottingham Street

Capture this turn-key opportunity to step into Summerhill! Set on a dead-end street across from Lionel Conacher Park, this completely renovated three-storey home is the exciting Summerhill home you have been waiting for.  Re-conceptualized in 2020, the home was taken back to the bricks on the interior and now offers the most picture-perfect floor plan and finishes on every level. Within the ever-coveted and highly rated Cottingham Public School district, the benefits of this central location in the heart of the city will not be fully realized until you live here.

A finished mud room entry with heated flooring and loads of storage for coats and boots opens to the astounding main floor with ten-foot ceilings, new white oak hardwood flooring, crisp white walls for artwork, and sight lines that continue straight through the house to the lush green backyard.  The living room and dining room are combined to offer the most gorgeous entertaining spaces, while an oversized Samsung Frame television (included in the sale) discreetly acts as a piece of art when not in use. The main floor powder room has been perfectly appointed with designer wallpaper features and a slab of porcelain as an accent and uniquely has a window that overlooks the rear garden. 

Within the latter half of the main floor, the most gorgeous kitchen awaits with a ten foot island, integrated high-end appliances, and carefully designed and executed millwork and storage to make this space not only visually appealing but so functional for everyday use.  The island and countertops are topped with durable Porcelain Laminum with a soft matte finish, and breakfast bar seating is available for up to five guests. 

Adjacent to the kitchen lies a photo-ready breakfast area with a custom banquette feature that runs from bench to ceiling. The room overlooks the rear deck and garden from the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walk-out, with custom electric blinds set into a discreet valance for use on extra sunny days. Perfectly selected light fixtures and sconces line this floor, and all are included to ensure the appeal of these carefully curated decors remains for use by the next owner.

On the second floor, light comes in from the skylight at the top of the stairs, illuminated through the custom glass panes that add more dimension to a standard skylight. On this level you will be impressed by the tall 9-foot ceiling heights, the size of the three bedrooms, but also the expanded five-piece bathroom that services them.  Each bedroom has a unique and tastefully appointed feature to it: The rear bedroom has vaulted ceilings and views of the rear garden, the middle bedroom has a recessed wallpaper feature within the coved ceiling, and the front bedroom has a wall of gorgeous custom closets and built-ins, not to mention views over the school grounds and the park. These bedrooms share access to the fully re-configured and enlarged five-piece bathroom with a custom double vanity, heated floors, and a large tub with a pretty bevelled tile surround. 

The primary bedroom suite lies on the third floor with a pocket door enclosure at the base of the stairs. All staircases are lined with a fabulous Elte runner, and custom handrails lead you up and down these newly crafted stairs. A bedroom of king-sized proportions awaits at the top, with a custom headboard (included), built-in speakers, and quiet views over the south-facing garden. A walk-in closet can be enclosed by a pocket door and is lined with custom built-ins and storage.  The ensuite is just divine, with a glass-encased shower that is built into the roofline and is wrapped in marble tile. The ensuite also has heated floors, two skylight features and a custom vanity topped with Caesarstone. This is a luxurious retreat and sanctuary away from the world below.

On the lower level, a recreation room is present for children’s play, as well as a fully outfitted laundry/utility room. The utility room will show off the intricate and sophisticated systems installed into the home during the renovation, to bring further confidence to this investment and the elaborate work that has been completed.

The home is recessed on a dead-end street nearly equally between Yonge Street and Avenue Road, making for a quiet setting between these two convenient major arteries. Enjoy daily strolls to grab a coffee on Yonge Street, or dine with friends on weekends at one of the amazing local restaurants within walking distance in Rosedale, Yorkville or at Yonge and St Clair. Interact with your lovely enclave of neighbours on July 1st for fireworks in the park, in June each year for the Summerhill Fair, the cavalcade of lights in December, or simply weekend meet-ups in the park or playground with kids. The home is set within the top-rated school district of Cottingham Public School where community ties bind over time with families. Trust Daycare is the obvious first choice for preschool daycares, and all are recessed within this amazing enclave of homes in Summerhill with no through-street traffic. 

This is an incredibly thoughtful and meticulously executed renovation on one of Toronto’s most coveted central locations and will be a continuous reward to the lucky buyers who have the chance to call 83 Cottingham Street their home.
