Set on a short, quiet block in Forest Hill, this detached home sits on a 40' x 127' lot with private drive and offers an appealing combination of space, character and flexibility. With approximately 2,050 Sq. Ft. above grade, four bedrooms plus a tandem room ideal as a home office, the home is comfortable to enjoy as it is today while offering plenty of possibilities for the future. The generous main floor features large formal living and dining rooms with beautiful original details including oak hardwood floors, wainscotting, leaded windows, French doors, plaster medallions and applied mouldings. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz counters, Fisher & Paykel appliances and a Miele dishwasher, with convenient access to the rear deck and garden. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide plenty of room for a growing family, while the tandem room off the second bedroom lends itself perfectly to a home office, dressing room or additional private space. The renovated main bathroom combines classic finishes with modern function. Outside, a sunny south-facing mature perennial garden surrounded by mature trees creates a private and inviting setting for entertaining, gardening and everyday family life. The level, regular 40' x 127' lot provides the flexibility to enjoy the existing home, renovate to suit your needs, expand with an addition, or ultimately build your custom home in one of Toronto's most established neighbourhoods. All of this on the quieter western stretch of Lonsdale Road, close to the shops, restaurants and conveniences of Forest Hill Village and many of Toronto's most respected private schools, including Upper Canada College, The Bishop Strachan School and St. Michael's College School.
