Cross Streets: Greenwood/Mortimer. ** Directions: Put the address into your GPS. Wide, bright and brilliantly reimagined - meet 149 Linsmore Crescent, the Danforth Village semi that doesn't feel like a semi. At approx. 18'6" across, there's breathing room here that most semis only dream about. An architect-designed renovation reworked the entire main level, and it shows. Step through the leaded-glass front door into a proper foyer (yes, with a real front hall closet), then into a sun-filled living room with large windows and original stained glass that adds just the right dose of old-Toronto charm. The dining room's pendant lighting sets the mood, and the open kitchen steals the show: a waterfall-edge centre island with an undermount sink, wood-grain base and pantry cabinets, full-height stone backsplash, under-cabinet lighting and high-end stainless appliances. Burgers on the BBQ? Walk straight out to the 16'6" x 20'11" rear deck. All-new wide-plank white oak runs across the main and second floors, three new radiator systems keep things cozy, and a soundproofed party wall keeps the peace. Upstairs, the primary has a double closet with organizers plus an additional single closet, two more bedrooms are ready for family, guests or a home office, and the updated 4-pc bath brings spa vibes with a rain showerhead, subway tile and hex mosaic floor. A ductless AC unit delivers excellent cooling all summer. Then the plot twist: the basement has been dug out and waterproofed, delivering an incredible ceiling height you have to see to believe. The 22'10" x 14'9" rec room has in-floor heating, custom built-ins with a Murphy bed, pot lights, space to lounge, work, and work out, plus a 3-pc bath with a rain head and body jets, and a laundry room. Outside, a covered front porch with new flagstone and railings, a landscaped garden and a detached 1-car garage via a mutual drive. Behind the walls: Navien high-efficiency combi boiler, 200-amp panel, sump pump, water softener and alarm. Close to Greenwood & Mortimer, parks, schools, transit and the library. (id:27476)
