About this home

Welcome to 63 Chester Avenue, a charming detached home in the heart of Playter Estates, one of the east end's most loved communities. Known for its excellent schools, beautiful parks, vibrant Danforth shops and restaurants, and unbeatable transit access, this neighbourhood has so much to offer. And 63 Chester sits right in the middle of it all, with Chester Station at one end of the street and highly regarded Jackman School at the other. With wonderful curb appeal, a welcoming front porch and mature plantings, this home makes a lovely first impression. Inside, the spacious open-concept living and dining area features hardwood floors, pot lights and a wood-burning fireplace. The large kitchen extends into a family/breakfast room, offering a relaxed space for everyday meals and family time. The recently renovated, fully finished basement adds valuable living space, excellent storage, a convenient 2-piece bathroom and flexible space for an office, gym or guest room. Upstairs, the light-filled second floor offers two generously sized bedrooms, a sunroom overlooking the leafy backyard and an oversized family bathroom. The layout could easily be reconfigured back to three bedrooms, while the possibility of a third-floor addition opens the door to creating a fabulous three or four bedroom family home. Outside, the large backyard offers plenty of privacy and space to entertain, along with a carport providing two-car parking and the possibility of a garage and/or laneway suite. This is a home you can simply move into and enjoy, while still offering the flexibility to grow and evolve with you over time. A lovely home for today, with plenty of opportunity for tomorrow.
