Cross Streets: Bloor St. W & Royal York Rd. ** Directions: Via Royal York Road. Welcome to this charming and renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, Kingsway gem that packs a surprisingly big punch and offers unbeatable value in a truly unique, family-minded community. From the moment you step into the spacious front entrance, every square foot of this house works hard for you. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the comfortable living and dining rooms, leading into the heart of the home: an open-concept chef's kitchen and family room, complete with a large centre island, that looks out to a grand old-fashioned covered porch and a sun-drenched, south-facing backyard, making it easy keeping an eye on the kids. A main-floor powder room and a back storage room with its own exterior door (making it a clever candidate for a private home office conversion) add fantastic functionality to the layout. Upstairs, the home thoughtfully accommodates four bedrooms, including a lovely primary bedroom with a full ensuite bath. The finished lower level adds valuable extra living space with a dedicated playroom for the kids. The lifestyle and location here are second to none. Situated just a block from Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School, Etobicoke Collegiate, and a community recreation centre with a swimming pool, skating rink, and gym, family routines and programs couldn't be easier. The home is also within the sought-after Lambton Kingsway Junior-Middle School district. Just steps to local parks, the subway, the library, and all the lively shops, dining, and cozy pubs along Bloor St. that make The Kingsway so special. Only 20 minutes from the Toronto financial and theatre districts, as well as Toronto airports, and close to cycling paths that lead to the lake and beyond, plus some of the city's finest golf courses, The Kingsway is truly one of Toronto's best-kept secrets.
