Get More in Oakwood Village
Welcome to Oakwood Village – the last pocket of hidden value in central Toronto – home of a delightful detached house with two parking spots (two. parking. spots.) on a roomy 20 x 123 ft lot waiting for its new family. 24 Amherst Ave is move-in ready and offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience. This property provides savvy buyers with a rare opportunity to put roots down in a warm, vibrant community poised to flourish and grow with the upcoming launch of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
As you approach the home, you’re greeted by a lovely front porch, a standout feature that sets the tone for what lies beyond. Vintage iron railings on the freshly painted porch add a fun touch of personality to the freshly painted white façade. This is a porch designed for quality porch hangs. It’s the perfect spot to relax with dog while you enjoy the well deserved morning coffee you picked up at Oakwood Espresso on your way home from school drop off.
Step inside, and you’ll immediately notice the newer engineered hardwood floors spanning the open concept main level. The living room is cozy and welcoming, seamlessly leading into the dining room. This space is perfect for quiet (or occasionally not so quiet) family dinners or a place for the kids to complain about having to do their homework after school.
The bright and spacious kitchen, renovated in 2020, features classic white cabinets, a glass backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, offering a modern and functional space for all your culinary adventures. There is plenty of prep space, ample storage, and a large window overlooking the back yard. The kitchen has a walkout to the beautiful back garden. The two-level patio has space for the grill and a smoker on the upper level plus room for a dining set on the lower.
The backyard is lovely, featuring a spacious green lawn, flowering bushes, and a mature cherry tree that comes to life with spectacular blossoms each spring. It’s a highly Instagrammable haven for those who love outdoor living and gardening. There is room to add a play structure or to set up a sprinkler to cool off the dog and the kiddos. The back yard is great as is with lots of opportunities to make it even better.
The home has three good-sized bedrooms on the second floor, each providing a comfortable and private space for family members. The original hardwood floors on this level add a touch of character and warmth. The family bathroom, refreshed in 2020, features modern fixtures and a clean, contemporary design.
One of the standout features of this home is the finished basement. This versatile space complete with a family room, full bathroom, and kitchen gives you a spacious second living area. The separate entrance to the basement gives you even more ways to maximize the value of this home – the lower level can work as an in-law suite is perfect for extended family and guests or even as a potential rental unit. The lower level can adapt to your needs, providing privacy and convenience for whoever resides there.
24 Amherst Ave boasts several practical updates beyond its charming interior and beautiful outdoor spaces. Essential (and expensive) improvements, such as updated wiring and a newer roof, have already been made, giving you peace of mind and reducing future maintenance concerns. These unsexy but necessary upgrades ensure the home is beautiful and ready for the years ahead.
This detached family home in Oakwood Village offers a rare opportunity to secure a detached home of this calibre in an area perfectly positioned to reap the benefits of one of the most significant improvements to Toronto’s transit system in recent history. With its large private backyard, spacious bedrooms, and a versatile suite in the basement, it has everything you need and more. Just unpack your bags, settle in, and watch your neighbourhood grow.
5 Things We Love
- The location is fantastic for commuters (and soon it will be even better) – it’s a short bus ride to Eglinton West Station to catch the subway heading downtown (the bus stop is less than a five-minute walk at Oakwood and Vaughan). Future you will love that it’s only a 10-minute walk to Oakwood Station on the Eglinton LRT Line.
- The private, sun-soaked backyard is lovely, with mature cherry trees and lots of room to play. It’s already beautiful, but there is room to add a veggie garden or two if your thumbs are feeling especially green.
- It is a family home with three good-sized bedrooms on the second floor, an in-law suite in the basement, and two parking spaces so you never have to worry about trying to keep a sleepy toddler awake while you desperately try to find street parking.
- The renovated kitchen is spacious and modern, with lots of storage space and a walk-out to the back garden (get ready to fire up the BBQ!)
- The front porch, freshly painted and with vintage iron railings, is full of charm. It will undoubtedly be your new favourite place to wave “Hi!” to the neighbours and watch the world go by.
