Within the past five years, this classic two-storey residence was dressed to look its best, which helped secure a deal within a couple of weeks, agent Bill Thom says.
"The house is completely renovated from top to bottom," he says.
The roofing was replaced, all four bathrooms were updated and the open kitchen was remodelled with pot lights, marble backsplashes and granite countertops and floors, as well as an exposed stainless steel Electrolux exhaust hood.
"It's not your regular exhaust fan," Mr. Thom says.
Other luxury features within this brick and stone residence, which was likely built more than 40 years ago, include hardwood floors in most rooms, moulded ceilings in areas such as the living and dining areas and sliding doors to a deck off the 255-square-foot family room.
"The family room is extremely large, much larger than typical family rooms in the area," the agent says.
The master suite, one of four bedrooms upstairs, has his and her closets and a three-piece bathroom with a whirlpool tub.
There is a separate entrance to the basement, which has games and recreation rooms with ceramic floors and above-grade windows.
For easy maintenance, the house is equipped with a central vacuum system and the landscaped yard has in-ground sprinklers.
Two cars can be parked on site, however, within walking distance are many amenities, such as schools, parks and sports facilities, as well as a major transit terminal for TTC, YRT and GO services.
