Send This Listing To A Friend306 Gainsborough Rd combines charm, modern convenience, and an unbeatable location. This lovely family home is perfectly positioned in a desirable community for families, situated on a sleepy, dead-end street near Williamson Park Ravine.
As you approach the home, you’ll be welcomed by a spacious front porch, an ideal spot to sip a coffee and scroll through the news while the kids play street hockey with their friends. The front garden enhances the home’s curb appeal with its low-maintenance mature trees and lush, flowering bushes.
One of the standout features of this home is the skylight above the stairs, which floods the open-concept main level with natural light. Hardwood floors flow through the living and dining areas, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the rear of the home, the modern kitchen features heated tile floors and granite counters. This kitchen is equipped to handle it all, with plenty of room for prep and ample cabinet space.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical mudroom and laundry area. This space perfectly contains the inevitable mess tracked in by busy kids and muddy paws. Handy additional storage will help keep you from tripping over boots, backpacks, and coats (let’s agree to pretend the kids will remember to hang their things up without you having to ask three or four times).
As you head up the stairs, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful design and attention to detail that continue on the second floor. The primary bedroom feels incredibly spacious, with unique vaulted ceilings and large built-in closets that provide ample storage. The room is spacious and serene, providing a perfect retreat at the end of the day. The two additional bedrooms on this level offer plenty of space for family members, guests, or a home office.
The renovated bathrooms are both functional and stylish. Heated floors provide a touch of indulgence, ensuring comfort even on the chilliest of mornings. The modern fixtures and finishes add a touch of sophistication to these functional spaces.
Ceiling fans in the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms help keep the home cool throughout the summer, reducing the need to run the air conditioning constantly. This thoughtful addition not only enhances comfort but also helps with energy efficiency.
The finished basement is a versatile space tailored to your needs. With over seven-foot-high ceilings and plush carpeting, the family room is perfect for movie nights with your tallest friends or a cozy gathering spot. The four-piece bathroom adds convenience, while the flexible additional room can be used as a storage room, playroom, or home office, depending on your requirements.
The outdoor living space is just as impressive as the interior of this home. The backyard is beautifully landscaped and utterly charming, featuring a shed for outdoor storage. The deck and grassy area lead to the rear patio shaded by a pergola, creating a fantastic spot for dining al fresco. Parking is a breeze with access via the rear laneway, and there’s plenty of space for guests to park on both sides of the dead-end street.
The location of 306 Gainsborough Rd is simply unbeatable. Close to excellent schools (École élémentaire catholique George-Étienne-Cartier a 2 min walk away & Bowmore Public School 5-10 mins walk), literally a few steps to the ravine, parks, and transit options, this home offers the convenience and amenities that families and young professionals alike will appreciate. The Beach Hill neighbourhood is known for its community spirit and welcoming atmosphere, making it a wonderful place to call home.
