25 Grange Avenue, Kensington-Chinatown M5T 1C6

Description

An exceptional Victorian semi in the heart of Queen West, steps from the revitalized Grange Park. Extensively renovated top to bottom, this showstopping 3-storey home balances timeless character with thoroughly modern living across approx. 2,500 sq ft above grade plus a fully self-contained lower level - with 6-car laneway parking to boot. Original stained glass vestibule, solid wood staircase with turned spindles, and wide-plank hardwood floors set the tone; a chef's kitchen and rooftop city-view terrace seal the deal.The open-concept main floor was made for entertaining. A sun-drenched living room with gas fireplace and bay window flows effortlessly into a generous dining area and a stunning galley kitchen with quartz counters and gas range. French doors spill out to a rear deck hovering above a private stone-paved courtyard - sheltered by a magnificent mature maple and worlds away from the city buzz just outside your gate.Upstairs, the primary suite delivers. A walk-in closet feeds into a 5-pc ensuite that earns every superlative: floor-to-ceiling dramatic dark marble, soaker tub, glass block shower, double sinks. A second bedroom, 4-pc bath, and sitting room anchored by an exposed brick fireplace round out the 2nd floor. Formerly 4 bedrooms, the 2nd floor was thoughtfully changed to have 2 generous bedrooms along with a walk-in closet and light-filled sitting room complete with fireplace in the bay window. The 3rd floor is in a class of its own - a luminous great room opens through a glass solarium wall to a finished rooftop terrace with sweeping city views. Second full kitchen, skylights, 2-pc bath. Guests, in-laws, or simply the best home office in the neighbourhood. The lower level adds a separate entrance, open living/kitchen, bedroom, 3-pc bath, and laundry. Steps to U of T, St Patrick Station, the AGO, and Kensington Market.
