Enjoy the feeling of a natural oasis - the neighbourhood features gently rolling hills, winding streets, and towering oaks, an extension of High Park itself which encompasses hundreds of acres of parkland including a pond, flower gardens, and historic museum as well as an abundance of sports, play and recreational opportunities. 108 Chelsea Avenue is a few short blocks to the Park (Lithuania Park for kids is equally close) and just a five minute walk to Dundas West subway - great news for commuters! Motorists have numerous options including Bloor Street or a five minute drive down Roncesvalles to the Queensway, which connects to Lake Shore Boulevard and the Gardiner. Located in a family-friendly community with wonderful neighbours many of whom have young children, the home offers convenient access to both public and separate schools.
Nearby the shops and restaurants along Bloor Street West make this one of the most coveted communities in Toronto. There is a mix of gourmet food, cafes, bakeries, independent clothiers and specialty stores in the area that attract people from across the city and are known for the quality products. Access to all kinds of services including groceries, dry-cleaning, banking and wellness (massage, herbal therapy, etc.) highlight the convenient allure of the Bloor West Village community just blocks west. The big box shopping and casual dining of the ever-improving Junction district and along Dundas West, as well as the funky mix of avant-garde and old world shops along Roncesvalles ensure that homeowners can walk to virtually all their needs.
This attractive, airy home is a real opportunity as you can move right in! Lovely landscaped annual and perennial gardens lend a riot of colour to the exterior. The parking space is accessed via the lane where there is currently a shed, so that the yard is not compromised. The private fenced rear yard features a coveted patio with plenty of space for cook-outs and outdoor entertaining, while the manicured grassy lawn is a great safe place for child & pet play. The warm invitation begins with the enclosed sunroom, a delightful cozy place to enjoy quiet time undisturbed by street activity.
The warm open concept main floor boasts large windows, designer neutral decor and sparkling hardwood floors emphasized by well placed halogen lighting. A decorative fireplace with mantel adds to the classic charm when dining. Families might choose to have casual meals in the renovated kitchen as there is plenty of space at the breakfast bar in this cheery room! Loads of built in wood cabinetry is perfect for storing dry goods, and the ceramic floor is both visually appealing and practical in its quality & durability. Great for dogs or kids or entertaining is the walk-out via sliding glass doors to the wood party deck and yard.
The second level houses three bedrooms, well-served by a gleaming modern four-piece bath with cool tile walls, a spacious sink and vanity, and window for natural light and air. The bedrooms all feature gleaming hardwood floors and large windows. Storage is easy with oversized closets with their own lighting, with space for extensive wardrobes in the master bedroom and back bedroom, and there is also a charming separate linen closet off the hall. An office space created from the middle bedroom is ideal for home office or homework!
To stretch out, there is plenty of space for children's toys and TV in the partially finished basement recreation room. There is another wall to wall closet plus additional finished storage space in the laundry room. The separate laundry room features newer quality machines.
