A charming end unit three bedroom town home with a fantastic location in North York’s Bayview Woods-Steeles community, welcome to 2 English Ivyway.
Featuring a single car garage with a private driveway, the covered front entrance has two sidelights to capture light from its southern exposure, and opens into a tiled foyer with a double coat closet, as well as a powder room that is nestled privately away from the principal rooms.
The main hall leads into the entertaining spaces of the open concept living and dining rooms – which are carpeted for added coziness, and are bathed in soft natural light streaming through both a north-facing window as well as the sliding door walk-out. The generous L-shaped size of this room allows for flexibility with the arrangement of the space – and the walk-out extends the entertaining to the outdoors during the summer months to a lovely backyard and patio area with raised garden beds and seasonal shade trees.
The kitchen has a wonderful open working environment, and offers lots of counter space and cabinetry storage; is brightened with pot and under mount cabinet lighting; includes appliances and a stainless steel double sink; and has space for a cozy breakfast area – while the wall cut-out allows the kitchen to be more open to the entertaining areas.
The staircases to both the upper and lower levels have hardwood railings with metal pickets – maintaining the openness felt throughout the home – with the upper level featuring three bedrooms, two washrooms, and a spacious double linen closet off the hallway.
The common use 4-pc washroom has a ceramic-tiled bath and shower area, and is shared with the the second and third bedrooms – both which have large north-facing windows allowing for soft natural lighting, while the second bedroom adjacent to the washroom has an oversized double closet, and with the third bedroom having a walk-in double closet.
The master bedroom is quite generous in its size – with plenty of space for a sitting area – and its two large south-facing windows allow for beautiful natural light. Along its east wall are two oversized double closets, and this bedroom is complete with a 4-pc ensuite washroom with a wall-to-wall vanity and a ceramic-tiled bath and shower area.
This home is located in a family-minded, community-oriented neighbourhood – and is within the catchment area of Steelesview Public School, Zion Heights Middle School, Cresthaven Public and Lester B. Pearson Elementary Schools for their French Immersion Programs, as well as AY Jackson Secondary School, while Seneca College’s Finch Avenue campus is an eight minute drive away – and also within a short drive are the Cummer Park Community Centre, the Bahai National Centre, the Hillcrest Branch of the Toronto Public Library, the Duncan Creek and Bestview hiking trails, as well as German Mills Settlers Park and the Bayview Golf and Country Club – both which are right across the road, directly north of this home.
The lower level adds great utility and living space to the home, and features a storage room with built-in shelves; a storage closet under the staircase; a furnace room combined with a laundry area and workshop space; as well as a large family recreation room with a corner brick hearth and wood mantle shelf, ideal for the ambient addition of an electric fireplace.
This home enjoys a great location within the city, and is steps from 24 hour TTC service on Steeles Avenue, and just minutes from everyday amenities such as grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, and many other retailers – while access to Hwy 404 is four minutes away, and major shopping destinations such as Fairview and Centrepoint Malls, as well as IKEA, are all within a 15 minute drive.
