51 Boustead Ave

Opportunity knocks! Are you ready? On offer - a det, solid brick 2 storey home in prime High Park, with garage plus work space, and exterior tandem 2 car parking. The lot,155 feet by 31 feet, is roomy enough for a further addition or to enjoy tranquillity. An existing solid brick addition on the main level acts as a family room, extended kitchen, or bedroom. Spacious living and dining rooms, with traditional bay windows, French doors, separating pocket doors, and a wood-burning fireplace (sealed over), remind you of its history (100+ years). The kitchen is hungry for an update. Make it yours, by combining it with the additional sit/bedroom already added on with direct access to the backyard. Just perfect for the needs of today's busy families. The second floor can present 2 configurations, where a small kitchenette is already roughed in, or become a bedroom (original use) or become an extra washroom. Just off this room lies a tandem bedroom. The primary bedroom and 2 additional bedrooms overlooking the street, all with closets, plus a modernized 3 piece washroom complete this level. While the halls and stairs are carpeted, the floors are hardwood. The lowered basement, with a thoughtful separate side entrance, allows for extra family living space, or separate quarters. Currently, there is one finished living area and a 4 piece washroom plus lots of empty space awaiting your touch. Dream away here! Location? Simply excellent for transit with 3 streetcar lines and the subway literally steps away. Roncesvalles, home of the Revue, cafes, delis, pastries, grocers, hardware, boutiques, schools, hospital, restaurants (food for every taste), florists, - is exquisitely both your back and front yard). After a busy day away, a welcoming wide front porch says HOME! Single family owned for the past 50 years so upgrades are for you to configure to taste. Get what the past has to offer and build what your future requires. A photocopy of a survey, dated Jan 11, 1960, along with plan for the approved (1980) extended garage / workshop is available on file.
