245 Wanless Ave

Live on the park! Extra-wide detached 3+1 bedroom family home set opposite the expanse of Wanless Park with a bounty of community benefits at your doorstep. A covered front porch opens to a generously sized foyer where sight lines into the home immediately impress upon you the noticeably wide floor plan of this 31' foot lot. The living room is recessed into a large bay window with park views, and offers a gas fireplace that is flanked with built-ins for functional storage needs. The dining room with pretty wainscotting details is lightened from a French door walk-out to the west facing deck and garden canopy beyond it. The dining room is open-concept to the beautifully renovated kitchen with painted wooden cabinetry, new quartz countertops and a timeless white backsplash. Adjacent to this fabulous culinary workspace is a breakfast room that is tucked into a second bay window with tree-lined views of the garden and ravine behind the home. The breakfast room is lined with custom storage and also has a walk-out to the private deck and barbecue area (with a direct gas line). On the second floor, three large bedrooms and a tandem nursery await. The primary bedroom holds king-sized proportions and three large windows that continue to emphasize the direct connection to Wanless Park. There is a walk-in dressing room which can be renovated into a customized walk-in closet, or perhaps an ensuite bathroom! The other two bedrooms both have closets, & the third bedroom has a fabulous tandem room that is set into the trees. This tandem room offers a versatile use of the space as a nursery, home office, or homework room for children. In the lower level, a large recreation room awaits with built-in shelves, a gas fireplace, laundry rm & multiple storage closets. A bedroom was added to the basement by the current owners and serves as a great teenager suite with access to a three-piece bathroom, or treat this as your home office with the above-grade window & extra b/i storage. West facing deck leads to a beautifully landscaped garden beyond the trellis and back into the ravine. Wide ROW drive with access to one garage space & one beside the garage. Walk to Yonge, Bedford Park PS, TFS, and weekends at the park!
