About this home

Amazingly connected. Surprisingly quiet. & a little piece of nature in the city.Welcome to Oakcrest, a tucked-away, tree-lined pocket south of the Danforth where neighbours know each other, mature trees line the streets, & coming home feels like an escape from the pace of the city. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the light. Southern exposure & large windows fill the home w/sunshine throughout the day, while the open-concept main floor, updated kitchen, bamboo flrooring, & generous rm sizes create a warm, airy space that feels instantly inviting. W/ 3+1 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, & 2 bathrooms, there's room to grow, work from home, accommodate extended family, or simply enjoy the flexibility of a thoughtfully designed layout. The lower level features a private walkout entrance, bedroom, kitchen, & bathroom, offering exceptional versatility for guests, in-laws, or potential income opportunities. Comfort comes W/Central heating & A/C, plus 2 Samsung split units w/integrated heat pumps for year-round comfort on all 3 levels.. But the real magic is out back. Framed by mature oak trees, lush greenery, & a beautiful urban canopy, the backyard enjoys a rare sense of privacy & a peaceful, ravine-like setting with no direct rear neighbours. It's a retreat that feels worlds away from the city while remaining connected to everything around it. Enjoy easy access to the 506 Gerrard streetcar, Woodbine Subway Station via the nearby pathway, & Danforth GO. The Danforth's cafés, restaurants, shops, & everyday conveniences are just minutes away, while Queen Street East, Kew Gardens, & the Beaches are under 30-min walking distance.
