20 STRATHCONA AVENUE — $1,750,000, sold

This is a home that does not follow the rules, it bends them. Stairs turn in triangles forming a light well. Tradition courses through warm exposed brick, crowns, paneling and stone. Southern light billows into a modern full-size kitchen and across a multi-function island, every guest’s first stop on a journey of a home with a sophisticated living and dining area with open stairs to the lower finished rec room. Walk-out the French doors from the living space into the embrace of a private yard lined with mature and well tended gardens. This is a private oasis of cobbles and tall fences with integrated irrigation and dramatic lighting.

The upper levels of 20 Strathcona are versatile and each serviced with elegant washrooms. A vaulted principle bedroom ceiling and on each of its walls a treat; exposed brick to the peak, double closed, fine millwork and a floor-to-ceiling bay window topped by a glazed gable.

This home is simply spectacular and the street is welcoming and warm. A great mix of neighbours eagerly awaits your family. Frankland PS is just around the corner and famed Withrow Park sits a mere 100 meters away. This is the home your family has been waiting for.

The Community

It’s the people that make North Riverdale a real community. Served by the best schools, parks, retail, food, transportation and surrounded by grand and diverse architecture. Riverdale is the destination for East End home buyers. The kids will thrive at Withrow for FE or Frankland PS with its fabulous pool.

Seeing the changes on Danforth to accommodate cyclists and small business owners, and how nearby streets have become a shared community areas during this recent health crisis, shows how adaptive and considerate our community is. Gerrard bordering the south has become a destination for unique dining, food, cheese! and fun retail start ups.

The east end takes urban living down a notch, still connected to the core but with more breathing room and less of the frenetic energy. Withrow Park is The east end park stretching over five blocks and providing outdoor activities for people of all ages. That’s why I choose to raise my family here.
