About this home

Welcome to 257 Perth Ave. This Junction Triangle home is deceptively spacious with over 1600 sq feet above grade, making it noticeably larger than the typical neighbourhood semi. Lovingly renovated, maintained and looked after for decades this property is now ready for a new family to call it home. A most excellent main floor layout allows for a completely private and separate home office by the front door while also providing that ever wanted expansive open concept lr/dr/kit . The cook's kitchen with loads of built in storage and counter space is a joy to work in. Main floor access to back garden thru a covered breezeway which is an ideal space for keeping out the wind in winter and keeping the garden furniture cushions dry in summer. Three large bedrooms with good closets. Primary bedroom has a walk out to a 2nd floor west facing deck for warm weather enjoyment. This property is ideally located to take advantage of the best in public transit including: Bloor/Dundas Subway Station; UP Express; GO trains; multiple bus; street car lines and the expanding West Toronto Rail Path, Steps to both Perth Ave Public School and St Rita Catholic School (for short walks to take and pick up the kids from school.); and the hip strip of Sousa Mendes with its variety of coffee shops and bakeries. For those wanting a main floor powder room the existing main floor hall closet would make an ideal space for such while the mud room closets make sure your front door entrance free from the clutter of coats and boots. Extra space behind garage for 3rd car parking
