105 De Grassi Street, Toronto, ON

Description

How do you know when you have found the perfect home? You know it when you feel it. That calming feeling of arriving home hits you the minute you walk through the door of 105 De Grassi Street. As you browse, there are no major tradeoffs, only subtle personalizations. It is a home that feels fundamentally sound from almost every perspective. De Grassi Street is the most sought-after and charming street in the neighbourhood, and this attractive Victorian-era home is one of its finest examples. Sitting on a proper 16 x 115 ft lot, the outdoor space is where it matters most: in the back. The backyard is an ideally deep, natural, private, low-maintenance oasis. Inside, the home has been artfully designed to maximize space and volume. The main floor ceilings are over 10 feet tall, while upstairs, vaulted ceilings in both the primary bedroom and spa-like washroom, complete with a skylight, create an airy feel. The primary bedroom features custom closets, while the rear bedroom includes custom millwork and a window seat overlooking the backyard. There is a washroom on every floor, including a new 3-piece washroom in the recently lowered and finished basement. The lower level offers a rec room, office, or additional bedroom, along with excellent storage. The kitchen is perfectly sized, complete with a desk nook and walkout to the backyard. Outside, newer fencing and mature trees, including an impressive neighbouring birch, create multiple spots to unwind. Next door, each attached neighbour is lovely and quiet. Most exciting is the upcoming Ontario Line station at Queen & De Grassi. Not too close, but an ideal walk away, it is a long-term catalyst for both convenience and future appreciation. The owners have a car and have consistently found street parking. Add quick access to the DVP and Gardiner Expressway, and you have a home that is not only unique, but also a safe bet.
