6 Bertmount Avenue | East Toronto - Leslieville

What a beautifully renovated & restored two storey semi detached brick home on a quiet tree-lined street in prime Leslieville! The ideal place to call home, you can move right in! This spacious open concept home features a spectacular renovated kitchen, professionally finished basement, luxurious bathrooms, big party deck and parking. Combining the mechanical updates and loads of gorgeous restored original charm, 6 Bertmount offers amazing value for a turnkey home in this trendy neighbourhood.

This home is favourably located in the burgeoning Leslieville community of Toronto's east end. The former studio headquarters of the Toronto film industry, this community has the distinct advantage of being Riverdale's neighbour - providing excellent access to parks, specialty shopping, dining, prestigious schools and public transit. Though Bertmount is a quiet street, it's steps away from the hustle & bustle of Queen Street's hip boutiques, designer furniture shops, restaurants, Starbucks and more. A pleasant stroll north to Gerrard reveals a plethora of exotic restaurants, grocers, and fine goods sure to please the adventurous shopper. There are big box stores on Lakeshore Blvd. as well as in the revitalized Gerrard Square.

6 Bertmount Main floor and exterior

Toronto's city centre is only minutes away, easily accessible using Lakeshore Blvd or the Gardiner. Adventurers and cottagers have easy access to the 401 and connecting highways using the DVP. Of special interest to one car families and those wishing to reduce their carbon footprint, will be the excellent access to public transportation via the Queen and Dundas Streetcars and buses on Carlaw & Pape Avenues, which connect passengers to subway stations on both the Bloor/Danforth and Yonge/University lines. Fitness and outdoor enthusiasts are in a good locale - close to ball diamonds, cycling paths and the Martin Goodman trail.

Significantly renovated over the last few years, the home is well laid out and offers tremendous curb appeal. The charming red brick exterior, large windows and immaculate treed front yard is landscaped with hardy perennials. The newer wood front porch is an invitation to sit awhile and chat with the terrific neighbours at #8. Inside, the lovely open concept living room beckons with shining dark stained hardwood floors highlighted by the recessed pot lighting. An eye-catching fireplace with new mosaic marble tile surround and mantel, and the exposed brick wall running up to the second storey, add to the impressive dimensions of this sunny room. Completely open to the living room, the dining room features a large bay window for bright views and displaying treasures while enjoying dinner parties.

The gorgeous chef's kitchen was renovated in 2006, and overlooks the dining room. The warm earth-toned ceramic tile flooring and big breakfast bar makes for fun entertaining and meal prep with plenty of maple cabinetry including a floor to ceiling pantry that is well placed for optimum convenience. Quality stainless steel appliances and a slate backsplash add polish to the room, which accommodates a breakfast table if desired. A stylish two piece powder room off the kitchen is a rare bonus. Walk out via the fully glassed door to the large wood party deck and fenced landscaped perennial garden, where a mature Japanese Maple provides lush foliage in the warmer months and the rain barrel drainage system for environmental soundness. An interlocking brick parking space is a coveted asset.

6 Bertmount 2nd floor

The master bedroom on the second floor is flooded with light from a big bay window and features a newer wall to wall closet with sliding doors and plenty of built-in shelving for double wardrobes! In addition, two separate linen closets adjacent to the master provide additional storage for bedding, guest towels and the like. Two good sized bedrooms on this level also feature plush broadloom, windows, closets, and very tasteful professional décor. All are served by the sparkling four piece bath with its luxury mosaic marble floor and pocket doors that was newly renovated last year.

6 Bertmount Basement

Professionally finished in 2005, the lower level has warm ceramic tile flooring throughout and features a spacious recreation/media area as well as a roomy well illuminated office area. There are two above-grade windows and the cheery décor suggests an excellent place for kids' play. A separate laundry room with full-size machines has plenty of room for storage, and a separate walk-in closet gives more space and could easily be converted to a convenient powder room, as the plumbing has been roughed-in already.

Other benefits of this special property include the extensive recent mechanical updates (see below for complete list) as well as the chance to live on a beautiful treed street. Between all the amazing neighbours, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to join the friendly and urban Leslieville community.
