145 Glencairn Avenue

When searching for a 'forever' family home, it is more than bricks and mortar, countertops, and paint colours. It is about the emotion that a house evokes, the performance it provides, and the locational benefits it awards. Its about proportion, flow, exposure to natural light, function, storage and comfort. A 'forever' home is a meaningful lifestyle change for the benefit of your whole family. This home awards you with all of these attributes. Taken back to the bricks in 2015 with the skill and guidance of Mather Homes and Four Blocks South, this floor plan was meaningfully revised, renovated and completed to perfect its offering. The centre hall plan is literally glowing with natural light from the moment you step in from the covered stone front porch. Sight lines expose white oak Moncer hardwood floors, vast formal principal rooms that flank the centre staircase, and views through the house and garden that reach all the way to the end of this 190 foot south-facing lot. The main floor features a concealed powder room and coat closet, while a separate mud room entry with custom storage and heated floors is accessed from the private driveway. The combined kitchen, family and breakfast room are the heart of this home and give pause to absorb the perfected proportion, function and finish of this space. The kitchen was crafted and installed by Stutt with dove-tailed cabinetry that extends through the pantry that connects to the dining room. The second floor has *five* awesome bedrooms and three bathrooms. The primary astounds with vaulted ceilings in the bedroom and ensuite, and is equipped with a huge walk-in closet and views over the garden. The lower level has 8'3" ceiling heights, a huge recreation room, gym, sound-insulated music studio, a massive guest suite and three huge storage rooms. The 190-foot south-facing garden is lined with mature trees and a new salt water pool was installed in 2022 leaving ample green space for additional recreation.
