114 West Lynn Avenue, Toronto

All about community....Have you ever had a park for a front yard ? You might never leave the front porch. In the mid 19th Century this spot was a stream that supplied water to the Grand Trunk Railway for it's steam locomotives. With the building of the Bloor viaduct this was converted to green space and became a central community hub for the Danforth East neighbourhood. Community is how it lives on. Built in 1926 this 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house is the first house ever for sale on Alison McMurray Lane. It is done, all done and fresh and bright and new and open concepty. Windows stream light through 3 sides of this huge semi. Lovely hardwood underscores an incredible custom kitchen. Built In shelves in the back mudroom create ample nooks for coats, hats and boots. Upstairs has oversized rooms and a luxurious bathroom...oh and yes...2nd floor laundry,(cry worthy). 2 woodburning fireplaces; yes 2. The renovated basement has a separate entrance, kitchen and a nice big basement bedroom. A new fence keeps the backyard private and the back lane parking accessible. But the sell...the BIG sell is the front porch where you sit cozy with hot chocolate, flopped on a lazy chair and face East Lynn Park. A farmer's market, playground, skating rink, arts fair and tree lighting ceremony in December are just some of the things. Community. This house is all about community. Earl Haig Public school, Monarch Park Collegiate, The Danforth, shops and restaurants, walking distance to two Subways. ALL DONE and PERFECTLY SITUATED What more is there ? This is all the all.
