Welcome to

75 Centre Street West

Country Charm, City Convenience

75 Centre Street West, built in 1914, is a 9 room gem in the heart of Richmond Hill’s old village core. Bigger than it appears, it boasts a large addition built in the mid 20th century which adds a main floor family room, sun room, laundry room and powder room. The centre hall plan also contains a main floor library to complement the living and dining rooms. 9 foot ceilings and original gumwood trim give the house that traditional, classic appeal.

Mature trees tower over a gorgeous back yard with perennial and vegetable gardens. The rear deck, off the sunroom, overlooks a babbling pond and sits under a beautiful grape trellis. The original, oversized garage now sits behind the main floor family room addition, now serving as a large storage or garden shed.

The owners are committed environmentalists, and have made this older home very energy efficient. High R-value insulation has been blown into the walls and ceilings, the furnace has been updated, and a solar powered water heater keeps energy costs far below those of an average home.

Located a short walk from Yonge Street with its shops and restaurants, rapid transit and new theatre complex (under construction), one can also walk to the Mill Pond. The centre of community life, Mill Pond park offers waterside trails, two ponds and a gazebo where local bands play a series of summer concerts. Just across the street is the Mill Pond Gallery, where local artists display their work.
