Property Description

Hygge-jygge! This Roncesvalles beauty feels like a handcrafted-ceramic-mug of fresh brewed coffee moment-warm, flavourful, organic, and effortlessly comforting. Tucked behind mature landscaping, the classic red-brick home offers a welcoming front porch overlooking a vibrant, family-friendly neighbourhood, only a short walk to the lively Roncesvalles restaurants, bars and cafes. A vintage wooden door opens to a practical tiled vestibule with a generous closet for everyday storage.The open-concept main floor is endlessly charming, featuring exposed brick, high baseboards, a gorgeous Valour gas fireplace, and a dining room anchored by an oversized V-shaped bay window that pours western light across the space. The renovated shaker/farmhouse-inspired kitchen includes cozy heated floors (sigh), exceptional counter space, ample storage, a breakfast bar for four, and a walk-out to a deck and deep yard with English gardens and a large detached garage with potential for expansion (see Laneway Housing Study). Upstairs, a skylight floods the hall with natural light, leading to three bright and generous bedrooms and an updated washroom. The finished basement offers a spacious rec room with pot lights and laminate floors, a guest room, laundry room, storage and a convenient two-piece bath. Ideally located with excellent walkability, top-tier transit access, and steps to Fern Ave Jr & Sr PS with French immersion. A short walk from the natural retreat of High Park and the trails and beaches of Lake Ontario, and just a hop, skip, and a jump to Sorauren Park - with year-round family programming, free outdoor movies, tennis and pickleball courts, a wood-fired pizza oven, seasonal skating rink and splash pad, and the beloved Monday farmers' market. An upcoming community centre with indoor pool, double gym, running track and fitness centre is an added bonus. A wonderfully warm, inviting family home in coveted Roncesvalles-one that feels just right the moment you step inside.
