Cross Streets: Royal York Rd & Hillside Ave. ** Directions: Lake Shore Blvd W to Royal York Rd. North on Royal York and turn left on to Hillside Ave. 159 Hillside has a way of calling you home. Perched among the mature trees on one of Mimico's favourite streets, this raised bungalow (with tall basement) sits quietly above it all, the kind of home you don't find so much as arrive at (with your jaw wide open). 2+1 beds, 2 full baths, 2 kitchens, and a ton of warmth and character. Enter through a full-sized mudroom - boots, stroller, life - all taken care of before you step into the open-concept great room. The eat-in kitchen with peninsula and generous living space flow together the way a home should, easy and unhurried. Both bedrooms are a great size with serious storage ability. The bathroom has the size, function, and just the right amount of Kinfolk-cabin-kitsch to make you forget the city exists. Follow the back foyer - desk space, playroom, or simply a moment to breathe - and step out to a massive deck overlooking an even more massive private yard. The kind of yard that makes your friends jealous. Now descend into something that surprises. Large, bright shared laundry and ceilings that just keep going - nearly 8 feet, with ample soundproofing. This one's for you, Mr. Big, who keeps vetoing every house because you can't stand in the basement. Stand here. Comfortably. AND NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT ... behind the laundry door: a lower-level kitchen, bath, and bedroom finished just as well as upstairs, with a separate side entrance for sneaky late-night pizza deliveries - no questions asked. Walk to Mimico GO and TTC, parks, shops restaurants and the famous lake front trails. Hillside has it all. (id:27476)
