West-end homeowners looking for a property with a natural and secluded setting quickly opted for this two-bedroom bungalow just north of the Eglinton Flats in the Mount Dennis community, agent Nutan Brown says.
"The home was lovely and it backs onto a ravine," she says. "They were used to birds chirping in their backyard … and this was much the same."
Tall trees and shrubs border the grounds, which also has open space and a deck with access into a newer section of the brick house, which was likely built in the 1920s.
"Not only does it have the standard living room, dining room and kitchen - which were all very nice - and two nice sized bedrooms, but it had this lovely family gathering space at the rear of the property with a walkout to the ravine backyard," Ms. Brown says.
"If you look at the price point, the value is pretty phenomenal."
Among the more notable features are hardwood floors in most areas and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room.
"It's a charming centre-hall plan … with a beautiful and inviting front porch," the agent says. "It has a bit of an Arts and Crafts feel to it, so it's got a warm, wonderful feeling."
Rounding out the interior is a four-piece bathroom and full basement. "It's a high and dry basement that could easily be finished for additional living space," Ms. Brown says.
Modern updates include redone wiring, a roughed-in central vacuum system and replaced furnace and appliances.
Single-car parking is available at the front yard.
