Warm and inviting, with more space than your typical semi-detached, 296 Arlington Avenue is the ideal house for a growing family. Seize this rare opportunity to get into one of Toronto’s established, tree-line neighbourhoods without making compromises or take on lengthy renovations.

Warm, modern and elegant

From top to bottom this home has it all.  Freshly painted in the 2022 colour trends, the vibe of this home is elegant and chic.  The curb appeal is through the roof with this one.  As soon as you lay eyes on it, you’ll definitely want to know and see more.  Step into the screened in porch, an ideal mudroom and storage area for bikes, strollers etc.  and then into this fabulous modern home.  With a front hallway separating the entrance to the rest of the house, come and go quietly and keep your daily messes hidden.  Opening onto an oversized living room with endless possibilities for furniture placement and stylish dining room, ideal for fancy holiday dinners or casual game nights with the kids.

Nooks are for reading, not breakfast!

The massive and newly updated kitchen boasts brand new appliances, dishwasher, stove and fridge, all brand new, never used.  There is an amazing amount of space in here, enough to put in a full size kitchen table (it’s clearly not a nook!) with plenty of extra room to move around freely. Ample storage space is provided by the copious amounts of cabinetry throughout as well as an ultra-modern butcher-block top kitchen island. The back of the house, directly off the kitchen features a 3-piece bath and small mudroom, perfect for washing those muddy paws or muddy children.  With direct access to the back yard, this is the perfect spot to take care of the messier details.

A classic upstairs ensures privacy and quiet for everyone.

From the main floor, head up to the second floor and alight upon a warm, inviting landing featuring honey-toned wood floors and classic wooden door frames as well as a large linen closet, perfect for all the sheets and towels. Three good sized bedrooms, including a lovely primary bedroom overlooking quiet Arlington Ave., can be used as children’s rooms, guests rooms or even a quiet home office.  Each room features large casement windows, allowing for plenty of daylight and fresh air.  The second floor also features a brand new, beautifully renovated, ultra-chic bathroom with matte black fixtures, a large rain shower head and an oversized sink.

Storage to store your storage!

This home features an abundance of basement storage.  Head downstairs to the large multi-purpose renovated family space, perfect for a kids playroom or a media room.  From there, dip into the cold room or wine cellar, there is enough space for both!  Further along, the basement is the entire footprint of the house and then some, make your way to the large laundry room, with a brand new washer and dryer, as well as another 3-piece bathroom with a stand up shower.  Continue through to discover 2 more large storage rooms!

Outdoor studio anyone?

Come see the backyard!  Here you’ll find the additional 3 season flex space, easily converted to accommodate all 4 seasons.  What is a flex space? This is not your average outdoor studio space.  This flex space is a large, insulated area with electricity, finished walls and a loft space – the ideal home office, gym or even as a hobby room.  The backyard also features a brand new gate and fence, clean landscaping and a direct access to the house through the basement, or the kitchen.

296 Arlington Avenue is truly is a rare find.  A fully renovated, updated large brick home that is move-in ready. No need to do any work, this is the definition of turnkey.  With lovely neighbours on both sides, this is the ultimate opportunity to get into an established Toronto neighbourhood, with minimal effort.
