Property Details
Beautifully renovated Victorian home in the heart of Riverdale! Move right in. With a spacious open-concept floor plan, chef's kitchen and two-car parking, this sunlit urban gem equally welcomes a hip couple or growing family. 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 -- only a short walk from your door.
Riverdale's best known shopping district is along the Danforth, east of Broadview. It features a dazzling array of stores and first-class Greek restaurants. Chinatown is within walking distance at Broadview & Gerrard, as is Gerrard Square (at Pape), the large indoor shopping mall. The popular Metropolitan Community Church is located on Simpson, one block from the house. Children attend schools in the Withrow school district.
An ideal location for commuters! The DVP, Lake Shore Boulevard and the Gardiner Expressway are easily accessed. Reliable, frequent public transit is nearby: there is regular bus or streetcar service on Broadview, Carlaw, as well as Gerrard, Dundas and Queen Streets. Walk to Broadview or Chester subway stations in only fifteen minutes.
Traditional touches make the exterior of this Victorian as pretty as a picture, including the inviting open front porch. Inside, soaring ceilings and dark hardwood floors create a look of casual elegance and easy living. A glass-enclosed vestibule leads to the open concept living/dining room, which features original stained glass windows.
The renovated family-sized kitchen is a chef's delight, with a large centre island which doubles as a breakfast bar. A unique wood ceiling, ceramic floor & backsplash complement the tasteful cabinets, adding warmth and grace to this large room and making it a gathering spot for friends and family. French doors lead conveniently to the rear perennial garden.
The master bedroom is large and airy, with two large windows and more original stained glass. It has been renovated to include wall-to-wall closets with custom doors and lighting, offering contemporary style and function. The tasteful decor and hardwood floors are repeated throughout the two other bedrooms on this floor.
Recently renovated, the bathroom boasts an extra large pedestal sink and cabinets. The third floor large loft space awaits finishing with endless possibilities.
The lower level is partially finished, with a recreation room for family or guest use (ready to be fully finished as it has been entirely waterproofed). At the rear, there is a charming flagstone patio and a large fully fenced yard.
