41 GRANDVIEW AVENUE — $1,499,000, sold

A wide, light-filled semi tucked into one of Riverdale's most coveted pockets—right next to Withrow Park.

This is the one that makes you stop mid-scroll. It's the way the sun spills through that oversized hideaway patio door, blurring the line between inside and out.

The way the rift-cut white oak floors stretch from front to back, leading you through bright, open rooms that feel both modern and warm. The signature of award-winning architect Donald Chong, must be the kitchen as it pairs powder-coated stainless steel and walnut open shelving with walnut cabinets, Caesarstone countertops and that Wolf gas range. A custom-built walnut desk breaks form yet seamlessly eases into the space—homework, recipes, WFH, opposite the ultimate quiet morning coffee spot; wait, is that a daybed in my kitchen or a kitchen in my lounge? Breaking convention and breaking conformity, giving you what you never knew you wanted.

Upstairs, big bedrooms, oversized windows, and a spa-like bath with a rain-head shower wrapped in glass and dappled blue tile. For those who must have more, download drawings of Primary Suite iterations with en suite and closet walls.

Downstairs, a finished basement with radiant heat and plenty of storage. Modern barn doors and a shallow walk-out, separate a guest suite from the recreation area.

Out back, a cedar-fenced oasis with multi-level deck, bold angles, sweep you to a flagstone patio and gardens. Built for summer nights and enclosed by a curious facade behind which hides a large garage, storage and parking for two cars.

This home is a seamless blend of contemporary design and historic charm, in a location that's impossible to beat. Steps to the park, great schools, and the best of Riverdale and the Danforth strip.
