About this home
Fully renovated and reimagined residence in Forest Hill South, 217 Chaplin Crescent offers a refined, design-forward lifestyle, backing right on the Beltline Trail, and only moments from prestigious schools, boutique shopping, and transit. The open-concept main floor makes an immediate statement, wrapped in custom architectural paneling and built-in cabinetry that lend warmth, texture, and a sense of tailored luxury. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating the seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The chef-inspired kitchen anchors the floor with sleek cabinetry and generous prep space, while a striking centre island features an integrated family table. The large walk-out to a sun-drenched deck, blurs the line between the polished interior and serene outdoor living. Ascend to a primary retreat designed to indulge, complete with a wall of custom built-in closets and a spa inspired ensuite finished with a custom double vanity - a private sanctuary of calm. Two further bedrooms offer versatility and generous proportions, the second appointed with a bespoke desk nook (or convert to a walk-in dressing room), the third with abundant closet space. Second-floor laundry adds an effortless layer of convenience. The fully finished lower level is equally impressive, offering two additional bedrooms or sophisticated home offices, a sleek kitchenette, and a separate entrance - a seamless suite ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. Outside, you have parking for 5 cars and double gates for addition privacy and security. The backyard is a private oasis: an expansive entertainer's deck, refined interlock patio and driveway, and a fully finished and insulated garage that can be used as a studio or living space. Lots of green space backing directly onto a tranquil walking trail, offering rare privacy and an enviable connection to nature.
