Set on a pretty, treed, Bedford Park street, this custom-built Haddington home offers the kind of layout families search for, yet rarely find. A strong sense of community defines the street, while high ceilings, elegant finishes, and thoughtful built-ins give the home character without excess. The main floor balances elegance with everyday life function. From the arched entry door and gas lanterns to the stone facade, custom millwork and wainscoting, every detail has been carefully considered. Formal living and dining rooms anchor the front, while the rear kitchen is designed for real cooking, not just takeout plating. With a gas range, pot filler, and dueling ovens, it's ready for everything from weeknight chaos to full-scale hosting. An eat-in island, breakfast area, and generous family room with a second gas fireplace open to a sunny, south-facing backyard with a large deck, mature landscaping, and a calming water feature. Upstairs, the primary suite is both practical and indulgent, a reading nook, a walk-in, plus wall-to-wall closets, a spacious 4pc ensuite, and a private balcony overlooking the garden. A front bedroom with a charming view invites slow mornings and quiet moments. Second-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. The lower level is equally considered, with a versatile rec space, multiple sitting areas, a third gas fireplace, guest bedroom, wet bar, and a 3pc bath. Movie night, hobbies, overnight guests - it's all covered. With 3+1 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and both licensed front pad parking plus a detached garage accessed from the rear lane, this home delivers on comfort and function. Surrounded by fantastic schools (John Wanless, Blessed Sacrament, Glenview, Lawrence Park), you are close to Avenue Road's stylish boutiques and intimate dining, a short stroll to the subway and everything Yonge Street, and have quick access to the 400-series highways. This is a location and a home that fits real life, and does it exceptionally well. (id:44040)
