Welcome to 87 Vanbrugh Avenue, a charming 3+1 bedroom bungalow with two washrooms nestled in a quiet, family-minded neighbourhood of Toronto’s Birchcliffe-Cliffside community.
Landscaped front and back with curb appeal, entertaining, and family enjoyment in mind - this home features a brick exterior with stone accents, has an attached garage, and two levels of finished living space with no shortage of natural lighting.
Upon entry is a foyer with a coat closet - its ceramic flooring continued throughout the kitchen, dining room, and hallway to the bedrooms; this level is brightened with pot lights and upgraded light fixtures, in addition to a neutral colour palette and the abundance of natural light; the principal room windows have California shutters for light diffusion and privacy; while gracing the entry between the living and dining rooms are accent decor columns. These two entertaining space are also finished with the elegance of crown moldings, and updated flooring in the living room brings a modern sophisticated aura to the space.
Dark stone counters are a striking addition to the light-coloured kitchen - this functional work space showcasing a peninsula with breakfast seating on two sides, a mosaic-tiled stone back splash, cabinetry with molded uppers and lots of storage, and a built-in microwave - as well as the modern sleekness of a stainless steel oven with gas cooktop, under mount sink, dishwasher, and fridge with bottom mount freezer.
Off the hallway to the bedrooms is a linen closet, as well as a stacked washer and dryer behind a set of double doors; both the second and third bedrooms feature laminate flooring, wardrobes, and doors with opaque glass inserts; the 4-pc washroom has a space-saving Euro-style vanity, subway-tiled back splash and shower walls, the bath/shower area also having a soaker tub; and the light-filled master retreat showcases thin slat oak hardwood flooring, wall-to-wall closet storage with opaque-panelled sliding doors, and a sliding glass door walk-out to the backyard.
Premium-sized, and fully fenced - the backyard has a large tiered entertaining deck; vegetable garden beds and mature trees; a children’s play structure; and along the north side of the home, a stone walkway for exterior access between this and the front yard.
bThe north side of the home also has a separate entrance to the lower level - and this level, while offering added living space, is also ideal as an in-law suite.
Featuring pot lighting throughout much of this level, as well as oversized basement windows, upgraded tiles finish the landing space - which makes a great dining and sitting area - and the tiles are also continued into a 3-pc washroom that has a Euro-style vanity and a corner glass shower. The kitchen has a French door entry, ceramic flooring, and a stainless steel sink; its cabinetry storage is complemented with a built-in wood wall unit; includes a fridge, stove, and dishwasher; and off this space is a laundry area with washer and dryer.
There is storage space under the staircase, plus a closet off the hallway; the bedroom is large in size and has an upgraded light fixture; and the very generously sized recreation area has a French door entry, the coziness of broadloom, and plenty of space for gathering with friends and family.
Set on a double sized lot which has severance possibility, this home is located in a neighbourhood where Sandown and Natal Parks, the Scarborough GO Station, TTC bus service, and John A. Leslie Public School are all within walking distance. Also close are a wide variety of retailers, restaurants, and services along Kingston Road and St. Clair Avenue E - while Bluffers Park with its waterfront trails, beach, yacht, and sailing club along Lake Ontario; as well as big box shopping malls along the Golden Mile of Eglinton Avenue E are just short drives away.
