152 Monarch Park Avenue

152 Monarch Park Avenue is located in one of Toronto’s most vibrant east end neighhourhoods. Danforth Village is a large and diverse community appealing to urban professionals and families looking for pretty streets and homes close to all amenities. Mature trees and green space are spread liberally throughout the community; this is home to Monarch Park, with its playground, toboggan runs, skating rink and swimming pool. It is within walking distance of numerous schools: elementary and secondary, public and Catholic. There is a nearby City library at Coxwell and Danforth.

Commuters enjoy an ideal location. The DVP, Lakeshore Boulevard and the Gardiner Expressway are readily accessible. Reliable, frequent public transit is available: walk to the Coxwell or Greenwood subway or hop on the frequent service streetcar on Gerrard for a quick commute to downtown.

There is pride of ownership here. All interior doors (except for 3 closet doors) and all exterior doors are new. The kitchen and pantry are new, both bathrooms have been recently renovated, there is new siding, new porch pillars, and mostly new electrical. The home inspection, dated March 2011, substantiates the constant care and maintenance that the property has undergone over the last 17 years!

The Main Floor has large principal rooms: newer hardwood floors and French doors accent the open concept living room and dining room. The kitchen is the hub of the home: a recent renovation added white cabinetry, a ceramic tile floor and four appliances. An added feature is a separate entrance leading to the back garden or the lower level.

On the 2nd floor, the hardwood continues. A spacious master bedroom measures 12’ x 14’, has a bay window, closet space and an imitation fireplace. The middle bedroom measures 13’ x 9’ and has a closet. The 3rd bedroom measuring 9.5’ x 8.7’ is presently being used as an office and is open to a tandem room offering an extra 12’ x 7.8’ getaway space.

The lower level features a 3 pc bathroom and a finished games room. A 2nd kitchen is value added - the property has the potential for a lower level income apartment.

The present owners are gardeners – we have attached a few photos of the perennial garden that magically reappears each spring. Please note that the path leading up to the front door has been moved away from the legal parking pad making the entrance to the home more inviting.

This is a property that we are proud to represent. If you have enjoyed our virtual tour and would like to visit the real thing, please do not hesitate in calling Elspeth Sinclair, Pat Laughren or Carolyn Marit at Bosley Real Estate Ltd, 416. 481.6137.
