263 Franklin Ave

Friendly Franklin! Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac and across the street from the hidden gem of Carlton Park, this end of row Victorian charmer in the coveted Junction Triangle neighbourhood is your refuge from the bustle of the city. The close-knit community hosts year-round events, including concerts, Easter egg hunts, pumpkin lightings, fire pits and more. This inviting home features soaring 9 ft + ceilings in the living and dining areas, while the main bedroom has a treehouse feel, with a picturesque view of the treetops. The inspiring loft space is a work-from-home fantasy with 3 skylights and a mini-split heat/cool pump for maximum comfort in all seasons. The roomy kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, with newer high-end, stainless steel appliances, and leads out to a pantry/mudroom area for extra storage. From there, step out onto your patio and a lush backyard with ample sun and bountiful tree cover. There is a parking pad at the rear yard leading in from the laneway. This location is ideal for families with kids, as Perth (FI), Charles Sauriol (Full French), St. Rita and St. Luigi schools are all within a couple of blocks. Enjoy one of the many other parks nearby with tennis, community gardens and other amenities, or visit the nearby George Chuvalo Neighbourhood Community Centre. Eat, drink and be merry at one of the many cool area restaurants, shops or galleries, or walk over to the Junction for shopping and nightlife. Commuters take note, this area affords so many convenient transit options. Dundas West subway station and the GO/UP Express are a walk or short bus ride away, and the West Toronto Railpath is great for walking and biking and the upcoming extension will make cycling downtown a breeze. This house offers the perfect opportunity to get your foot in the door in one of the best neighbourhoods in the city!
