 This freehold townhouse was built 14 years ago in a complex of 9 townhouses; 3 on Lippincott St and another 6 around the corner on Ulster St. The properties share a right of way to access parking spaces for each unit. The parking space for 185 Lippincott is attached to the rear of the lot, next to a very private large deck. The front yard is gently shaded by a large tree and a perennial garden offers a charming first impression.
The house itself has 3 full storeys plus a finished basement. The basement recreation room is spacious with oak hardwood flooring and a gas fireplace; creating a warm ambiance. There also is a 4-piece washroom in the basement so your guests need not go upstairs.
The ground floor has a large combined dining room-living room with enough space for a piano and to entertain your family. The kitchen is modern with enough room for a small eat-in table for 2-3 persons and a walk-out to the deck and parking.
The second floor has 2 bedrooms and a second 4 piece washroom. The 3rd floor is a wonderful large master bedroom suite, with walk-in closet and an ensuite 4 piece washroom that includes a jacuzzi tub.
This is a wonderful house for a new family or just empty nester.
The extras include an intercom system in all primary rooms to answer the front door, or for easy listening of the radio. There is a security system if you wish to activate it. The washer and dryer are in the basement; the kitchen has a B/I dishwasher; fridge and stove. The house also has a central vacuum system and central air for your summertime comfort. Washer, dryer and dishwasher are all new within the last 2 years.
The seller still has the original National Home Inspection report from when she bought it 7 years ago. It is available for review, along with the past year’s utilities bill - ask me to e-mail you a copy at the open house, or have your real estate agent request it from me.
ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The South Annex is a vibrant and colourful downtown Toronto neighbourhood. Much of the South Annex's vitality comes from being located right next door to the University of Toronto.
Naturally, many University students, faculty, and alumni rent or own houses in the South Annex. The University population mixes well with the young urban professionals who have been buying and fixing up South Annex houses, giving these old houses new life, and in the process revitalizing this historic Toronto neighbourhood.
 Bloor Street, west of Spadina, is a mini university village lined with pubs, music shops, bookstores, and restaurants. Cyclists and in-line skaters compete with cars and pedestrians in this high energy shopping district.
The Mirvish Village shopping district on Markham Street, south of Bloor Street, is a dignified city block, filled with craft stores, bookstores, antique shops, galleries, and specialty boutiques.
Harbord Street provides South Annex residents with one of the more sophisticated and intimate shopping districts in the city. In addition to many fine restaurants, Harbord Street also includes a number of excellent craft stores, bookstores, and galleries.
Fitness enthusiasts can get a good workout at the University of Toronto Athletic Centre. This facility has an Olympic-size pool, squash, tennis and badminton courts, weight machines, aerobics, a gymnasium and a 200 metre indoor track.
The Jewish Community Centre at Spadina and Bloor has an indoor pool, a track, squash and racquetball courts, aerobics and a weight room.
Queen's Park is the site of Ontario's Legislative Buildings. It's the focal point of many civic events and parades. Queen's Park is also a quiet place, an oasis in the City, where one can sit on a park bench, under a tall shade tree, and paint the landscape.
The South Annex is well served by public transit. College and Bathurst Streets have regular streetcar service, while Harbord Street has a regular bus route. The Bathurst and Spadina subway stations at Bloor Street link up with Toronto's rapid transit lines.
The major highways north and south of the city are a twenty to thirty minute drive from the South Annex.
