• The mechanical aspects have also recently been upgraded allowing you peace of mind that the renovations have been done professionally. From the roof, eaves, and new windows to the electrical, plumbing, water main, furnace and central A/C. The staircase is the original design, yet rebuilt entirely, all the way to the third floor! The waterproofing was done the right way on the exterior.

• The heart of the home lies in the expansive modern kitchen, boasting quartz countertops and a convenient breakfast bar designed for culinary enthusiasts and throwing many dinner parties where everyone invariably ends up!

• The open family room creates a hub where parents can prepare meals while keeping an eye on children playing, or kids/ friends can perch on bar stools to engage in the action. It's literally the perfect space.

Welcome to West Bend

Residents feel fortunate to be in this little pocket in the west end of Toronto of High Park, known as the West Bend.

Just a short WALK to one of Toronto's most extensive transit hubs w/ Subway, UP Express or GO; plus glorious High Park & a plethora of cool shops/restos & amenities in the Junction, the Junction Triangle, Roncy & Bloor West Village.

It's easy to fall in love with West Bend and the family-friendly feel of the neighbourhood. As the sellers experienced, it won't take long to be welcomed and integrated into the community, and you can envision spending many happy years here. There are many young children in the neighbourhood school, Indian Road Crescent. Every weekday morning, the parade of families walks the three blocks to IRC, where young ones can enjoy its kindergarten and Early ON preschool activities.

Desirable school catchment attracts many families with school-age children to this neighbourhood! The many options including IRC Jr. & Sr. Public School, Keele St. Jr., Annette Jr. & Sr., Mountview Alternative Jr., High Park Alternative Jr., High Park Gardens Montessori School & the renowned Humberside Collegiate.

After school and on weekends, one can run into neighbours at swim and soccer practice, on the school playground and casual walks around the neighbourhood. The sellers have found kindred spirits in the adult neighbours as well: they are warm, social, and interesting.

The location of 21 Kenneth Ave in the heart of the West End is definitive. To the West, there is easy access to High Park: a five-minute bike ride or fifteen-minute walk will land you in the middle of the forest, where one can regularly run, and the kids go to nature camp in the summer. High Park's sports facilities include tennis, baseball, soccer, lawn bowling, swimming, and skating!

A ten-minute walk to the North is Dundas Street, where there are too many gourmet restaurants to count, used book and record stores, and yoga classes. And while nestled among beautiful old trees and parks, one is just four blocks away from the incredible convenience of grocery stores, the pharmacy, the dry cleaner, and other conveniences.

Library programs for the neighbourhood residents at Annette Street Library and The City of Toronto Recreation centres with pools at Annette, as well as nearby Keele/Glenlake.

Easy access to Lake Ontario & The Martin Goodman Trail, local Baird & Lithuania Parks. Check out the amazing Junction Farmer's Market every Saturday from May to October in Baird Park.

Go Green! Perhaps most importantly, it is a ten-minute walk from one of Toronto's most central transportation hubs. Great for busy professionals who work downtown, where the commute has been transformed by the numerous transportation options: a 20-minute bike ride or similar ride on the UP, GO train, or subway will get you to your places of work (eg. in the financial district and at TMU).

Finally, one of the favourite perks is the ten-minute train ride on the UP to the airport. A quick, ten-minute walk from the house to the train station is the hardest part of the trip! No more figuring out how to get to the airport and park your car!

For convenience when driving it is a quick trip downtown via Gardiner/Lakeshore or out of town via Hwy 400 or QEW.
