Leaside is a beautiful, treed and highly desirable neighbourhood that is popular with families due to its abundance of greenspace and parkland. Walk to outstanding shopping & dining on Bayview and nearby big box shopping at Sunnybrook Plaza or Laird. Motorists can be downtown in ten minutes via the Bayview Extension, which also links up with the DVP and a myriad of commuter highways. Bus service winds its way through the interior of the neighbourhood with major routes on Bayview and Eglinton.
Leaside has long attracted families who value this neighbourhood as an ideal place to raise children. There are many fine schools in the area, and plenty of opportunities for nature lovers including Trace Manes and Howard Talbot Parks just minutes walk' from the building. Trace Manes is home to the Leaside Tennis Club and also has a playground, outdoor ice rink and baseball diamond with the Leaside Public Library right next door off McRae Drive. Cupping the area from north to south-east is a stunning green belt popular with joggers, which includes Sunnybrook Park, Wilmot Creek Park, and the Moore Park ravine. Excellent recreational facilities include the Leaside Memorial Community Gardens, a recreational complex with an indoor ice arena and pool, curling rink & auditorium.
With only fifty suites, the handsome brick building at 356 McRae is home to many long-term residents and has its own strong sense of community. It also offers common gardens and a BBQ area, a games & billiards room, upgraded exercise facilities and a security system as well as very inclusive maintenance fees. The underground parking garage includes space for visitors.
This well laid out suite on the penthouse level for optimal light and views is tastefully decorated in neutral colours. The entry foyer features a coat closet, and space for greeting guests before proceeding into the suite. The L-shaped open concept living/dining room is flooded with natural light from a unique skylight and large windows. The open den off the living is ideal for a home office. The spacious principal rooms and layout work well for entertaining, with the kitchen open and adjacent to the dining room for easy serving. Gently angled walls add character and make the most of light on three sides of this executive unit.
The kitchen is separated from the hall by a half-wall which adds structure without interrupting the open flow of the room. It has ceramic floors, classic wood cabinetry and tons of extra counter space for meal preparation along the big breakfast bar beside the double stainless sink - you can pull up a stool and keep the 'chef' company!
The master suite enjoys a sparkling four-piece bath, with an extra-large vanity with under-counter storage, and a deep soaker tub with sliding glass panels when using the shower. The master is well lit from a large window and features the decadent walk-in closet. The second bedroom also has plush broadloom, natural light and a double closet with sliding doors, while additional storage is available in the adjacent linen closet. The modern three piece bath with an enclosed tiled shower is convenient to the second bedroom, allowing privacy for guests.
Other amenities of this charming suite include: Double doors opening onto the spotless ensuite laundry room for added convenience; security system, exclusive parking spot, large private locker and the benefits of a pet friendly building.
