49 Gledhill Avenue, East York

This beautiful family home sits on a 172-ft lot, steps from Danforth and Woodbine. The open-concept living and dining room is bright and generous, with abundant natural light pouring in throughout the day, anchored by rich hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the kitchen. Walk out from the kitchen directly onto the large rear deck, and then into a backyard that stops people in their tracks; one of the deepest private lots you will find in this neighbourhood, with a beautiful perennial garden and lots of room for the kids to play. Behind the beautiful garden are two parking spaces. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms bathed in natural light, connected by new oak stair treads and risers that make an impression the moment you walk through the door. Beautiful wood-framed windows throughout the home frame every view quietly and elegantly, while the rich hardwood floors running through the main level give the whole home a warmth that photographs can barely capture. The basement offers good ceiling height and includes a bathroom rough-in, making a second bathroom an easy addition. Step out your door and the neighbourhood wraps around you. Surrounded by fabulous neighbours who take pride in their homes, this is the kind of street families move to and stay on. A true walker's and commuter's paradise, with Woodbine Subway Station minutes away, Danforth GO Station a 10-minute walk, and the vibrant Danforth corridor at your doorstep; coffee in the morning, dinner on a weeknight, groceries on the way home. Gledhill Park is a hopscotch jump away, and Taylor Creek trails are just north for weekend bikes and after-school adventures. Kids walk to Gledhill Junior Public School together, with D.A. Morrison Middle School and East York Collegiate Institute rounding out the public catchment. French-language families are well served by La Mosaique Elementary School. Fantastic daycares and active community centres round out one of East York's most family-focused neighbourhoods.
