Making the most of its view of Ramsden Park, the back of this house has ample windows and walkouts from every floor to either the landscaped backyard or decks. The 18×158-foot property offers respite after a busy workday and relaxed spaces for weekend entertaining.
The Summerhill home has “a great combination of character and charm, yet was renovated by the present owners to have all the up-to-date finishes that buyers are looking for in this neighbourhood,” says listing agent Josephine Lennon.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home has a fireplace and a bay window in the living room, a separate dining room that has a vaulted ceiling and leaded glass, and a renovated kitchen with a greenhouse breakfast room.
The second floor includes a combination master suite/sitting room that has a four-piece ensuite bathroom. The other bedroom on this level has built-in shelves, a fireplace and a walkout to a balcony.
The third floor has three bedrooms, one with a skylight and his-and-hers closets and another that has a walkout to a deck.
Lower-level features include an open-concept combination kitchen and family room that has a walkout to the garden.
The property has parking for two cars, which also adds to its midtown location’s desirability, Ms. Lennon says.
