Beautifully detailed Craftsman architecture (1928) offers grand principal rooms, three generous-sized bedrooms, plus large tandem 4th bedroom that can be a nursery, den or home office.  Original details include leaded glass windows, wood wainscotting and trim, crystal doorknobs, sunburst cut-glass French doors, chandeliers and wall sconces with fluted milk-glass shades and bronze arms/escutcheons.

The spacious sun-filled Primary Bedroom has ensuite privileges and a separate cedar closet.

The elegant Dining Room is perfect for family dinners or hosting formal gatherings.

Large bright (south facing) LR has a welcoming wood-burning fireplace (made from the same local bricks as the house exterior); the mantle extends over the built-in bookcases on either side that have the original leaded glass doors and crystal knobs.  The LR can comfortably accommodate a grand piano.  (Our piano is a parlour grand (7’), which is in between a baby grand (5’) and a concert grand (9’).)

The updated kitchen is designed for both function and style, with task lighting, all-new (2021) energy star-rated stainless steel appliances, and a raised-panel cabinet door design true to the period of the home.  The kitchen opens into the bright breakfast room overlooking the backyard, with an exterior door to a small porch (which the neighbours on the west have enclosed and turned into a mud room), ideal for informal meals, crafting projects or supervised homework times.

A fully fenced private backyard is a perfect outdoor play space for kids and pets.  There is a single detached garage (which is the only parking space on the property, although many neighbours have built front pad parking to accommodate a second car.)

This is a welcoming neighbourhood community that is very family-oriented, spanning all ages, from infants to seniors.  People who experience living here tend to put down roots and stay for a long time.  In this one block alone, there are children in almost every house, from newborns to teens.  The neighbours are friendly, kind and helpful.

It is a short walk to the expansive green space of Wanless Park, with a playground, wading pool, multiple tennis courts, basketball court, baseball diamond, huge open playing field, and outdoor skating rink in winter.

This home is within walking distance of an abundance of coveted school options:  Bedford Park PS (TDSB), Blessed Sacrament CS (TCDSB), Toronto French School, Havergal, Crescent School, and Lawrence Park Collegiate (TDSB).

Minutes to fine dining, shops and all essential amenities along Yonge.

It is a very convenient 8 min walk to the subway (Lawrence Station at Yonge, on Line 1), close to bus access, and a short drive to Hwy 401.

Unfinished (original partitions) basement has a brick wood-burning fireplace offering potential to create a comfortable family room and a 1-piece bath with the potential to be expanded into a full bathroom.

Great home and a wonderful community to live in and raise your family, or invest in one of the best areas in mid-town Toronto.
