124 Alton Avenue

Original Remarks

The moment you step into the foyer you can tell that this is the one! With its high ceilings, its space, its graciousness... you have found a special house. Architecturally, 124 Alton stands out - a grand Edwardian all-brick semi, substantially upgraded and with an unusually wide footprint. The front entryway opens into a gracious foyer, with a classic walk-in coat closet at the front. The generously sized living room features tasteful ceiling mouldings and a refinished hardwood floor. You can just see the whole family gathering around the fireplace. The large separate dining room has space for that big dining table that everyone can sit around together. The entire main floor is filled with natural light from upgraded Andersen windows that face east and west. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are roomy and bright, with refinished pine floors. The primary bedroom has an extra walk-in closet in the hall. The large front bedroom features a second brick fireplace (not functioning.) The bathroom has been fully renovated with premium European fixtures. The full basement provides a family room, a fourth bedroom, a second bathroom, and loads of storage space. The kitchen, well-equipped with premium appliances by Miele, Liebherr and GE Profile, walks out to a large, west-facing deck. Stretching beyond the deck, the perennial garden is fully landscaped. The garden is exceptionally deep because the garage is set sideways to face south onto the laneway. Alton Avenue itself is an elegant one-way street lined with wide boulevards and mature trees. You are just steps away from Greenwood Park, with its state-of-the-art skating rink, a large children's playground with splash pad, picnic areas and sports fields, and an enclosed off-leash dog area with upgraded landscaping. Greenwood Park is also home to the weekly Leslieville Farmers Market, May to October. This home has many upgrades - an excellent home inspection report is available. And check out the virtual tour!
