A Cherished and Renovated Bedford Park Home

232 Melrose Avenue is a turn-key home on a quiet residential street in the popular Bedford Park neighbourhood of Toronto. Next to the private driveway, which is rare for a semi-detached offering, a cozy covered front porch leads to a welcoming foyer equipped with a front hall closet and it is instantly apparent that upgrades are abound throughout this fabulous home. New hardwood floors extend throughout the main floor. In the living room, built-in bookshelves flank the gas fireplace, and the dining room benefits from a huge picture window that overlooks the new deck and deep gardens beyond. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed and a carefully planned kitchen with stainless steel appliances outfit the space. The counters are topped with quartz, and extend for a large breakfast bar setting for casual dining options. There is also an additional customized pantry area, and a perfect spot for a coffee bar, with direct access to the barbecuing and entertaining spaces on the rear deck.

The second floor holds three generously-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom can easily hold a king-sized bed and is outfitted with a double closet. The second and third bedrooms both have their own closets, and room for desks, dressers, or both depending on their size. These bedrooms share access to a beautifully renovated four-piece bathroom which was done in 2019 by the current owners.

The basement is finished and has a side entrance from the driveway. There is a large recreation room, a home office nook, and a newly renovated three-piece bathroom and laundry combination.

The exteriors can be enjoyed either on the front covered porch where residents interact and entertain, or on the newly built and very large rear deck which has room for outdoor dining and lounging areas. 

The detached garage has been cleverly converted by the current owners to hold two useful purposes: half of it is used for storage, while the other have holds a great play room area which could also be used as a home gym or home office, if required. The gardens beyond are incredibly deep on this 150 foot lot. The property itself is within a short walk of the coveted John Wanless Public School, as well as easy access to a bounty of top private schools in the city. Residents enjoy a multitude of shops and restaurants along Yonge Street as well as Avenue Road, and for those who travel frequently, this is a very easy access point to the 401 and connection to Pearson International Airport. 

Every bit of this home and property has a purpose and has been effectively used or renovated to maximize its potential. Set on a rare 26.5 x 150 foot lot, the space rivals those of its detached counterparts! It is a special turn-key option for young families with a long runway of opportunity, and is not to be missed!
