Main Floor
The open concept plan allows for a free flow of natural light between the front and back half of the home. Ample seating in the living and dining area are perfect for a family to enjoy, or comfortable enough to entertain friends. The addition in the back, makes this home larger than the standard neighbourhood bungalow. The large and well thought out contemporary kitchen provides the perfect balance between design and utility. Generous amounts of cabinetry and storage provide practicality. The quartz countertops and kitchen island provide ample space for meal prepping. Two bedrooms and an updated bathroom complete this floor.
Lower Level
The spacious basement offers a great combination of living and additional sleeping quarters, housing two bedrooms. The lower level bath is spa like with deep soaker tub, glass enclosed shower, and double sink vanity which makes getting ready in the mornings a breeze. There is also a laundry area with additional storage throughout.
Backyard
This good sized, fully enclosed yard is perfect for entertaining or enjoying an after work cocktail on the elevated wood deck. The lower level includes a well designed combination of stone work and turf landscaping. Enjoy easy access to and from the garage via yard or laneway.
The Neighbourhood
Rockcliffe-Smythe
Rockcliffe-Smythe is made up mostly of single-family detached homes. Smythe Park today sits on the site of the one-time gravel pit, and is joined by several other green spaces, including Black Creek Park and Gaffney Park. In fact, Rockcliffe-Smythe’s western edge consists entirely of green space, including Lambton Park and Scarlett Woods golf courses. The area also offers many recreational facilities, including the Smythe Park Recreation and Community Centre, the York Community Centre, and the Smythe Park Outdoor Pool. Best of all, there’s an amazing ravine system with a variety of multi-use trails.
Major streets like Dundas, Jane, and St. Clair provide all major amenities, like grocery stores, banks, and drug stores, as well as a mixed variety of chain and mom-and-pop shops, including restaurants, bars, and several craft breweries. The hip and ultra gentrified Junction neighbourhood is just next door, as is the quickly growing Stockyards District, where you’ll find the Stock Yards Village, an outdoor shopping mall with more than 50 brand name stores.
Being close to St. Clair makes for easy streetcar access and a direct connection to both the University and Yonge subway lines, while the Dundas car and several busses run to the Bloor–Danforth line. The northern part of Rockcliffe-Smythe will soon be within walking distance of the new Eglinton Crosstown line, and if you like to cycle, the waterfront is a quick zip down the Humber River bike trail.

James Gardens / 99 Edenbridge Drive
James Gardens is a public botanical garden along the Humber River. It was a former private estate sold to the City of Toronto and now managed by the Toronto Parks Department. James Gardens consists of broad lawns, numerous flower beds, specimen plantings, rock gardens, nature trails, three large and four small ponds fed by a spring and connected by a stream, a carp pool, and a lawn bowling court. It is connected to the Humber River pedestrian and cycling trail. Each year thousands of flowers and over 75,000 tulips are planted in the beds, whose designs and materials are changed annually in the rock gardens and under the well-pruned trees and shrubs. Each year, there are tens of thousands of visitors, and many weddings and receptions are held on the grounds of James Gardens.
Indulge
Messina Bakery / 19 Scarlett Rd
Messina Bakery is as much an area lunch hub as it is a market and bakery. The bakery has been in business for over 40 years. Nearly everyone is greeted by staff by first names, and occasional customers are interrupted in their perusals by double-cheek kisses from women emerging from the kitchen. Messina's pantry shelves are filled with mostly imported products including olive oils, dry pastas, spices, and sauces.
