Charming 5 Bedroom Heritage Home By The Beach

Description

This large historical home is in a desirable part of the Beaches neighbourhood with a view of Kew Gardens park, the tennis courts, the lake, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. More photos available upon request! The 5 bedroom house is spacious with lots of character and modern updates. Just a minute walk away from the beach, the neighbourhood has a slow-paced, friendly vibe; a village within the city. This child friendly neighbourhood has excellent schools and everything you need can be found on Queen East: Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, pubs, cafe, book store, cheese shop, bakeries, clothing and shoe stores, movie theatres, and more! Step out your front door and you are steps from a hockey rink (lacrosse in summer), baseball diamond, lawn bowling club, public library, public swimming pools, and 3 playgrounds, and water play. Enjoy an active lifestyle with the lake is at your doorstep as well as the Martin Goodman Trail for biking and running. Carry your paddle board, canoe or kayak 5 minutes for a paddle. For nature lovers, there are ravines a walk away, or the nearby Bluffs, and Tommy Thompson Park (an urban birder's paradise) to explore. Family friendly festivals and events abound like the Jazz Fest, and the Beaches Arts and Crafts show, winter holiday festivals, the Terry Fox Run, and more. The house is close to public transit (street car, bus, subway) in proximity OCAD University, downtown hospitals and Michael Garron, TMU, and both U of T campuses. The house has beautiful features (pocket doors, skylight, stained glass) and new modern appliances and central AC. The house includes large principal rooms and wide hallways. The large living/dining room has a working fireplace. There is 1 full 2nd floor bathroom plus a main floor powder room. Look out onto the park from the front windows or the beautiful sunny front porch. Enjoy sitting on the back deck overlooking the large garden, or stretch out on the second-floor balcony. The house has been family owned for over 50 years by a Toronto artist and OCAD professor. It is now owned by his daughter and her partner (teacher, language examiner) who have 3 children. We would love to have a family, couple, or individual who would enjoy this home and neighbourhood.
