Centrally located just south of Dupont steps away from Wallace-Emerson Park and Community centre, and just a ten minute drive downtown. Bus service in the area is excellent, with the Dupont bus connecting to St. George & Jane Stations on the Bloor line and the frequent-service Dufferin bus taking passengers to Dufferin station in only three minutes. For drivers connecting highways around Toronto can be reached within 15 minutes.

Amenities are nearby with the functional shops, local restaurants & convenience stores along Dupont or Lansdowne. For those who prefer the ease of visiting multiple stores under one roof, the superb Dufferin Mall located just south of Bloor has many service providers (Bell, Fido, Rogers & TELUS) in addition to the usual clothing & grooming chains, food court, a grocery store, pharmacy, and travel agent. Minutes' walk from the home, the Galleria Mall is another shopping & service haven, which is undergoing approval for a proposed redevelopment into an upscale residential & commercial complex.

Located in a family-friendly mostly Italian and Portuguese community with terrific neighbours, there is convenient access to both public and separate schools. The Bloor/Gladstone Toronto Public Library branch is close by as is the hub of the neighbourhood: the very active Wallace-Emerson Community Centre. There are numerous programs in the outdoor pool, a new million-dollar renovated artificial ice rink, a weight room, fitness and wellness facilities, sports, arts and heritage programs and camps, plus a dirt park for bicycles (BMX park). Parents will appreciate the close proximity to the Campbell Avenue Playground and the very spacious Earlscourt Park, up at Davenport Rd -- a great opportunity to take in the Mediterranean flair of the Corso Italia on St. Clair. All these amenities are within easy walking distance of 241 Emerson and exemplify the convenience of living in the city.

Lovingly upgraded from top to bottom, this stately home boasts lush perennial gardens in addition to the manicured front lawn, and is rich in classic features. The decorative double front doors lead to a spacious entry hall greeting guests in style. The elegant principal rooms help furniture look its best with luxurious dark-stained 3/4 inch oak floors, plaster crown mouldings, ceiling medallions, bright picture windows and a cozy gas fireplace. French doors lead from the living room to the formal dining room, where a timeless chandelier and wall sconces add a warm glow to elegant dinners.

The bright renovated kitchen includes plenty of counter space, windows on two walls, a double stainless sink, ceramic floor and backsplash as well as quality custom solid 3/4 inch dark stained maple cabinetry. An extra-large fridge, gas stove and built-in dishwasher are pleasing to chefs & helpers alike!

Going up the solid wooden staircase to the second floor, the three bedrooms are spacious, with matching hardwood floors, crown mouldings and double closets. The main bath serving this level is a sumptuous sanctuary with a large vanity and lovely ceramic tiled walls, bath surround & floor.

The professionally finished basement walks out to the side of the house and with the roughed in plumbing and wiring for a kitchen, offers an appealing opportunity to create a basement suite for income or nanny/in-law suite potential. The vast open concept carpeted space is a comfortable recreation room, featuring a built in entertainment centre with all the necessary wiring elegantly available yet hidden -- a perfect place to relax and enjoy a big screen movie night plus kids' play area. The numerous above ground windows provide so much light that it doesn't feel like a conventional basement. A fancy three piece bath with a slate-tiled shower stall, plus a separate laundry area and pantry with durable ceramic flooring, complete the lower level.

The private rear yard features an oversized solid pressure-treated wood party deck -- ideal for chic outdoor entertaining. The home is elegantly lit in the evenings with potlights in the soffits. The immaculate, oversized detached concrete block single car garage with garage door opener is accessed via lane. Well built, it includes plenty of storage in the rafters, as well the potential for a rooftop patio and a second parking spot in front. For privacy and safety, there is a stylish galvanized metal side fence.

There are many valuable, mechanical upgrades offering the new homeowner convenience and assurance. See complete list. Don't miss out on this chance to own a lovely home in a family friendly neighbourhood AND close to the downtown core!
