2 SANDFORD AVENUE — Toronto (South Riverdale), Ontario

There is a lot going on at 2 Sandford, in all the best ways. This corner home pairs classic Leslieville brick with a thoughtful modern interior, generous ceiling heights and windows in all the right places. An exposed-brick wall rises from the foyer toward the second floor, while wide-plank white oak flooring carries through the living room, bay-window dining area and flexible den. The kitchen is properly equipped for people who cook-and for the four seated at the quartz breakfast bar, expecting to be wowed. It features an oversized Silgranit sink, drawers, abundant cabinetry, task lighting, integrated hood, panelled Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and slide-in gas range. Glass and light woods lead to the BBQ deck, while a wee powder room completes the main floor. Upstairs are three distinct bedrooms, full-size laundry and linen storage. The primary combines a bright bay window with floor-to-ceiling built-ins. The west-facing second bedroom has another bay window, while the charming third offers pine floors, a tongue-and-groove ceiling and walk-through dressing room. The family bath brings together a deep soaker tub, double floating vanity, wall-mounted Toto toilet, large-format tile and shower with handheld fixture. The finished lower level connects to the rear entrance and offers a recreation room with full-length cabinetry, partial eat-in kitchen, three-piece bath, mudroom, closet and storage. It is flexible space for guests, work, teenagers or multigenerational living-because not everyone needs to be on the same floor all the time. A two-car garage plus driveway parking for two small cars is a rare east-end bonus. Maha's is on the corner, while Gerrard supplies The Good Neighbour, cafés, restaurants and independent shops. Greenwood Park handles the outdoor agenda with a pool, splash pad, playground, sports fields, off-leash area and winter skating trail. A smart, character-filled home in a neighbourhood that rarely runs out of things to do. (id:63357)
