The Place

A three-plus-one-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow located in north Etobicoke. Post-war through and through, the home’s most fun features can be found in the renovated basement, which was designed for wining, dining and entertaining. It’s within walking distance of Humber Creek, half a dozen parks and the future Eglinton Crosstown extension. And motorists are a short drive from both the 401 and 427.

The Tour

In the foyer: a big closet leading to the open-concept front room with a wide bay window. The jaunty floor vent by the front door is a nice touch.

The front room serves as a family room, equipped with cathedral-style ceilings and engineered hardwood floors.

Here’s the dining area, overlooking the side of the home.

Down the hall is the renovated kitchen, featuring plenty of storage, a central island and walls lined with subway tiles. All the appliances are Samsung.

Now for the main suite.

And here’s a peek inside the second bedroom on the main floor—this one is set up as a nursery.

Down the hall is the office, which could be converted back into a bedroom.

This is the shared bathroom, with a bench in the glass shower and quirky floor tiles.

Now let’s head down to the fun zone in the basement. It has a private entrance, meaning the space could be rented out.

First on the basement tour: the lounge and fitness area.

There’s also a striking electric fireplace down here.

Next is the expansive nautical-themed bar, loaded with various chalices and fridges.

The hallway to the bedroom has this huge built-in storage unit.

Here’s that bedroom.

The basement bathroom comes with a soaker and another walk-in shower.

Another angle highlights the floating vanity and backlit mirror.

As for the toilet, it stands in an open water closet of sorts.

Even more storage flanks the ruby-red laundry units.

Finally, here’s the view from the rear of the home, with a swimming pool, a firepit and lush hedges for privacy.
