52 Shaftesbury Avenue, Toronto

Natural light is the first thing you notice at 52 Shaftesbury Ave. It carries through every room across all four finished levels. An end-unit position brings extra light, added privacy, and a fenced front side yard, mostly garden. Fully renovated throughout: tall ceilings, richly stained oak hardwood, crown mouldings, custom millwork, all executed to a level of finish that rewards close inspection. The main floor centres on a double-sided fireplace shared between the living and dining rooms. It warms both spaces without closing them off. The custom kitchen is built to the same standard: integrated cabinetry, stone countertops, premium appliances, and a breakfast bar that suits a quiet morning as well as it does hosting. On the second floor, a den with its own fireplace, custom built-ins and access to a private treetop deck makes a proper home office, or a reading room you'll actually use. An additional bedroom and full bath round out the level. The entire third floor is the primary suite, ensuite included, with the quiet that a floor to yourself brings. The lower level is fully finished: a recreation room with wet bar, guest bedroom and full bath, anchored by its own fireplace. A private one-car garage rounds out the home. Steps from Summerhill Subway Station, the Summerhill Market and the trails of David A. Balfour Park. No Smoking. No Pets.
