About this home
Welcome to 30 Paperbirch Drive, a tastefully updated solid brick bungalow in one of Toronto's most sought-after neighbourhoods, just steps from the Shops at Don Mills, parks, TTC, and the scenic Don Mills Trail. Inside, a bright open-concept living and dining area with updated hardwood flooring (2023) flows into a stylish galley kitchen with stone countertops, sleek tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry. The primary bedroom is a private retreat with a new 3-piece ensuite (2023), complemented by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. With two full kitchens, two laundry areas, and a separate side entrance to the finished basement, the home is ideal for multi-generational living or generating rental income, supported by an upgraded 200 AMP panel. Outside, a large west-facing backyard and spacious deck provide plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, play, or gardening. Ideally located close to the Toronto Botanical Gardens and the Wilket Creek Trail-which winds through Sunnybrook Park and connects to the city's expansive ravine system-this property also offers the potential for a second-floor addition or a custom new build, making it a rare find in a vibrant, connected community. *Some images have been virtually staged to help illustrate the potential use and layout of the space. No modifications have been made to the structure or layout.*
