NEIGHBOURHOOD: Playter Estates
For those buyers not keen to visit a house without as much information as possible during these strange times, I've recorded this very long video walk through. I did it in one take so there are a few minor errors, starting with the fact that Jackman Ave, not Logan, is directly to the west; and these owners have "great taste" not a lot of taste... gads. Apologies to my father up there with his Grammar Police Cap on. (oops, dangling participle)
With its homage to the original design, this house has beautiful flow through its rooms, providing more intimacy to each space. Significant enhancements have been made to this lovely four bedroom, four bathroom family home; this, beyond the recent renovations and updates made by the previous owner, gives this house great bones, mechanics topped by style and substance. There is a soul to this home that speaks to families tired of the generic tissue-box renovations. The kitchen remains the hub, with a working space, an island and all you expect from a home of this calibre. The kitchen walks-out to the back yard and is open to the lower level and the dining area. Natural light saturates the first floor from all directions. Bedrooms are versatile with clever built-ins and convertible walls. There are two principal suites and two more bedrooms that can easily convert to spacious office, gathering or entertaining spaces.
It’s the people that make Playter Estates a real community. Served by the best schools, parks, retail, food, transportation and surrounded by grand and diverse architecture. Playter is the destination for East End home buyers. The kids will thrive at Jackman PS.
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 the community is. There are lots of progressive changes to Broadview and the area that will make 75 Browning Avenue an exciting place to live.
