170 Macpherson Avenue, Toronto

170 Macpherson Ave was originally built in 1889, and the current owner has completed extensive renovations with noted firm Weenen General Contracting. A pretty Victorian facade with picturesque gardens, beautiful landscaping and hardscaping as well as a charming wooden porch to frame this Summerhill gem. Period touches such as high ceilings with ornate medallions and crown moldings welcome you to this special home. The sizable south-facing living room with large windows overlooks the beautiful front gardens. A generous dining room could easily accommodate a large dinner party and is wonderful for entertaining. The functional kitchen with abundant storage and a gas stove is both stylish and practical. Heated tile floors that extend from the kitchen into a small family room extension provide additional comfort. The family room provides access to the low-maintenance back garden terrace with a beautiful Hornbeam tree and ancient Euonymus tree where a pair of Cardinals regularly visit. Three large bedrooms on the second floor all have windows that provide picturesque views into the neighbourhood. The generous south-facing primary bedroom looks out over the tree tops, has a large double closet, and enough room for a seating area or office. The four- piece bathroom on the second floor has stylish mosaic tiles and a window for natural light. A fully dug out and underpinned lower level with heated poured concrete floors is ideal for a lower level family room or spare bedroom. A four-piece bathroom with chic black and white hexagonal tiles is right out of a design magazine. The large laundry room with side-by-side machines and multiple storage shelves is exceptionally functional. This renovated gem in one of the most popular streets in the neighbourhood is ready for its new owner.
