A Rare Offering In Orchard Heights - Where Country Charm Meets The City.Just steps from Toronto, discover a truly special home nestled within the highly sought-after Orchard Heights, a private 1950s enclave surrounded by the natural beauty of Etobicoke Creek, the Toronto Golf Club and the shores of Lake Ontario. From the moment you arrive, there is an unmistakable sense of calm. Tall, storied trees line the quiet streets, there are no sidewalks, songbirds fill the morning air and crickets take over at night - creating an extraordinary 'country in the city' atmosphere.Fully renovated from its original 1953 layout, this exceptional raised bungalow is a one-of-a-kind work of heart. Natural light pours through generous east-facing and west-facing windows, bathing the home in beautiful morning and evening light. The views extend into enchanting front and rear gardens, where flowering trees, mature shrubs and thoughtfully layered perennials create a private sanctuary that changes beautifully with every season.The gardens are a gardener's dream, with hydrangeas, roses, lavender, catmint, hellebores and white-flowering dogwoods complemented by red and yellow sugar maples, five flowering pink Kwanzan cherry trees, an emerald cedar privacy hedge and towering pyramidal oaks. Every window frames a living picture.Inside, the home blends warmth, character and European-inspired craftsmanship. A soaring entrance, walkout basement and carefully considered renovation create a distinctive sense of space, while custom details add an unmistakable old-world elegance - from the striking black London fireplace mantle and wardrobe-style double-door closets to the gothic Parisian wrought-iron banister and Roman arches in the bathroom.This is a home designed to make you slow down, breathe deeply and appreciate where you are. A peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, yet remarkably close to Toronto, shopping, dining, parks, schools, transportation and every urban convenience.
