First time buyers will delight with this outstanding three bedroom semi on Brookdale Avenue. Within the heart of Bedford Park and just a minute’s walk to the ever-coveted John Ross Robertson Public School district, this extra-wide family home has been updated and maintained with great pride by the current owners since 1987.
With expanded principal rooms and pretty period details intact, the home has a warm and inviting feel throughout. The foyer is equipped with a front hall closet and opens to an oversized living room with a large south-facing bay window and wood burning fireplace. The dining room is lined with gumwood wainscotting, and overlooks the back garden through the large picture window. The renovated kitchen has timeless and durable granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and a tandem breakfast room with a walk-out to the rear garden. This room has perviously been used as a home office, and it overlooks the quiet garden setting at the back of the home.
The second floor will impress with three large bedrooms and an updated four-piece bathroom. Each of the bedrooms are generously and equipped with storage and large north or south facing windows. They are serviced by the four-piece bathroom with a new vanity, the tub has been re-lined with new tile, and as well there is a large linen closet on this floor for extra storage.
In the lower level, a versatile use of space presents. The large recreation room with above-grade windows allows for children’s play or weekend movie watching, while a separate in-law suite surprises with a bedroom, a small kitchenette, three-piece bathroom.
Brookdale Avenue is a favoured street within this Bedford Park community with low traffic flows, lots of children at play, and respectful residents with great pride of ownership. Residents in this community reap the benefits of amenities both along Yonge Street and Avenue Road, and quickly connect to the 401 or downtown to the financial district by these same major arteries.
