36 Ridge Drive

Beautifully appointed Moore Park family home on coveted Ridge Drive. With an effortless appeal, this subtly sophisticated family home is the perfect entry point to this highly sought-after enclave of luxury homes. 

A grand foyer entry with original stained glass window details, a coat closet and powder room is framed by a cascading staircase. To the left, the oversized living room is recessed into a large bay window, and centered upon a gas fireplace. Perfectly curated, the furnishings and art balance the appeal of this room between traditional and modern styles and it is both an inviting entertaining space and practically comfortable room for everyday use.

The entertaining hub of the home, the dining room expands to hold seating for ten with a built-in cabinet for storage of stemware. It overlooks the family room and tandem room, and connects quickly to the kitchen beside it.  In the kitchen, breakfast bar seating is available at the quartz countertops, and views of the garden can be enjoyed from the south facing window. 

Beyond this, the sunny family room has views out the large picture window to the new deck and the very rear private garden setting. This room is expanded by a tandem room with skylight feature and a walk-out to the garden. This room provides a versatile use of space to enjoy as an extension of space to entertain in, a play room for kids, or a home office space. The rear walk-out from the mud room provides easy access to the deck and garden as well as the garage parking.

On the second floor a generous landing branches to the three picture-perfect bedrooms.  The king-sized primary bedroom overlooks the quiet streetscape, and benefits from “his and hers” closets with customized inserts, as well as a perfectly appointed five-piece ensuite bathroom.  Two additional bedrooms are painted with trendy Farrow and Ball colours, and have large closets with custom inserts. An updated five-piece bathroom for the kids has a large tub with built-in storage niches and double sinks with lots of storage below.

In the lower level, a large recreation room is the perfect setting for casual retreats and a great play space for children. A bonus nanny or in-law bedroom has a double closet and access to a renovated three-piece bathroom and side door access on the stairs to the lower level quickly connects to this room. Cleverly, the owners of this home have doubled the versatility of the laundry room by adding a home gym into the unused cavity opposite the washing machines. Adding to all of the storage options within the home, the furnace room offers a huge space for seasonal storage and showcases the new Veissman boiler.

On the exterior, the extra wide side-by-side private driveway is easily accessible for parking a car in the driveway in front of the garage, or within the garage itself.  The gardens front and back have been carefully landscaped and updated with low-maintenance required and the back garden offers a very private setting without looking into another home – you see through the neighbour’s backyard so it is lush, green and private. 

Set on one of Moore Park’s most family friendly streets, the cul-de-sac  aspect of this location will benefit you in ways you won’t understand until you live it.  The home is surrounded by respectful and established neighbours who cherish this street location and the close community it provides, and you can quickly walk to and from Whitney or OLPH, and across the bridge to Summerhill Market and the amenities along Summerhill Avenue.

This is a truly very special family community, and a home that has been carefully renovated and updated by the current owners to provide for a turn-key and seamless step into Moore Park.
