Address: 209 Kenilworth Avenue
Neighbourhood: the Beaches Agents: Julia Warren, Sotheby’s International Realty Inc. Price:$3,270,000 Previously sold for: $800,000 in 2014

The place

A chic, sunny beach house with contemporary finishes and a backyard oasis.

The history

The home was built in 1960, and used to be two separate units. It underwent a major renovation in 2017, which was completed in June of this year.

Fans of herringbone, take note:

The room at the front of the house is currently set up as a home office. Those doors slide closed for (sort-of) privacy:

The office is next to the dining room...

It’s outfitted with built-in Miele appliances:

The family room has a gas fireplace and a whole lotta walnut:

It has its own coffee bar:

The master en suite is really something else:

Unsurprisingly, the basement is finished:

As is the backyard:

Big selling point

For buyers who love entertaining, the carefully landscaped backyard has a limestone patio that can accommodate big dinner parties, and IPE fencing for privacy.

Possible deal-breaker

The eco driveway looks cool, but may not be for those who aren’t up for taking on extra lawn upkeep.

By the numbers

• $3,270,000 • 4,055 square feet (3200 above grade, 855 in the basement) • 5 bathrooms • 4 bedrooms • 4 parking spaces • 1 gas fireplace
