One of Toronto's most desirable neighbourhoods, Riverdale is a large and diverse community appealing to urban professionals and families. Green space is spread liberally throughout the community, with many parks and parkettes including Withrow Park and Riverdale Park only a short walk from your door.

Restored traditional charm and professional landscaping make the exterior of this fully detached brick and stucco home as pretty as a picture. There are new interlocking walkways, fresh sod, a rebuilt, inviting old fashioned front porch and large wood back deck. Inside, the house has been completely gutted and rebuilt anew - it is essentially a new build constructed with the finest materials! High 9' ceilings, crown mouldings and custom millwork and trims create a look of elegance. An entry with decadent marble flooring and a large coat closet leads to the open concept principal rooms.
