Gorgeous curb appeal with the handsome brick exterior & black trims. The charming enclosed front porch with classic mini pane windows is a bonus space to use in inclement weather or store the stroller or scooter safely, don winter clothing & stash pet or outdoor gear. Electric plugs are available too.

Upon entry, you'll find that while renovating, the owners were able to retain & blend in some of the best part of living in a mature neighbourhood like High Park with the 1904 classic original touches (think hidden pocket doors, leaded glass accents, trims) and elegant modern conveniences (sleek gas fireplaces, hidden custom built-ins, heated floors).

The state of the art kitchen features exceptional built-in appliances (see list), well designed with a separate coffee bar/pantry, back wall of windows, a pot-filler over stove, lots of counter / dining space and room to chat while cooking up a storm and keeping an eye on the little ones.

The "must have" main floor powder room is perfectly situated away from the action.

There are two walk-outs to the back yard from the main level, one through the dining room to the deck, and one halfway down to the lower level. Very convenient access to and from the kitchen, or the 3 fridges in the basement (including a 181 bottle wine fridge) and infrared sauna.

The open lowered basement with tall ceiling height also benefits from sunshine from the south wall of windows and doors. There is a large recreation area for kids play and/or use the currently super cool gym set up. There is a separate and serene office space that features an oversized window well with garden lighting and mature plantings.

The grounds including the rear south facing yard were featured in an architectural/landscape/design magazine. It was intentionally cultivated for no muss no fuss, low maintenance stone work, greenery and perennial gardens. Landscape designer Michael Dimitriadis, owner of Dimitriadis Design Build, created various landscaped areas for conversation, dining, and barbecuing. Intimate spaces for privacy or plenty of room for a party.

The backyard oasis continues to impress with a defining stone wall with built in large outdoor gas fireplace, irrigation system, outdoor lighting & outdoor sound system you can control from your phone. You'll find an extra large built-in Green EGG grill, for the BBQ master It's a complete outdoor cooking system engineered to be stronger, more durable and provide better heat retention.

And of course the piece de resistance, the 5-6 person hot tub / spa built right into the deck.

From the Sellers: "The neighbourhood is warm, progressive, and inclusive. The neighbours know each other well and look out for each other. We have an annual Canada Day party, a summer street sale and a Facebook message group used to celebrate birthdays, look for a lost pet, borrow a cup of sugar, or get a car boost. Our neighbours are a mix of empty nesters, DINKs, young families, and families with tweens. There is a strong sense of community here."

Excerpts from the magazine article that featured the yard:

Built For Entertaining: High Park Backyard Redesign

Landscape designer Michael Dimitriadis, owner of Dimitriadis Design Build, came up with the layout solution. His design also helped create the illusion of more width in the narrow 166-by-25-foot garden. The dining space was laid out lengthwise while the lounge area behind it was configured crosswise, with a large overarching arbor to separate them. "This way, they can really entertain a lot of people back there," Dimitriadis says. "but when it's just the two of them, it also works."
A sound system embedded underground. Speakers provide background music in the dining and lounging areas, but are completely hidden from view. Lighting sources are also inconspicuous, with fixtures concealed in stone art pieces or tucked into shrubbery or ornamental grasses 4 stone art pieces housing some of the lighting.
