62 Bowood Avenue

Welcome to a rare offering in this coveted pocket of Lawrence Park: an extra-large semi on an extra-wide lot that delivers the footprint and proportions of a fully detached home, and the interior feel of what would typically come with a home on a 30-foot lot. Step through the front foyer and the wood-burning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace draws your eye immediately. The living room, with its wood mantel, hardwood floors and California shutters, provides genuine warmth and presence. The formal dining room's French doors open through to the large rear family room with a high vaulted ceiling where skylights pour in natural light, a full brick wood-burning fireplace anchors the corner, and sliding doors lead out to a large back deck and the deep, fenced, mature backyard. The large chef's kitchen includes a gas stove, granite counters, lots of storage space, and views of the garden through the family room. A powder room completes the main floor. The second floor provides three generous bedrooms and an enormous 5-piece bathroom. A staircase leads to the third-floor attic loft with genuine potential to take the space exactly where its next owners want it. The finished lower level includes a spacious recreation room with potential to close off the rear section for a 4th bedroom, laundry and 3-piece bathroom combo, and a remarkable amount of practical storage. The neighbourhood is one of North Toronto's finest. Steps to Yonge Street, the subway, shops and parks, with easy access to downtown. The school district is exceptional: Bedford Park P.S. and Lawrence Park Collegiate serve the area, and Havergal, Crescent and Toronto French School are all within close reach. The Granite Club and Rosedale Golf Club are just minutes away. The front pad parking is licensed. 62 Bowood Avenue is the rare combination of scale, character and location, and is a superb opportunity that awaits its next family. Living room and family room are virtually staged.
