76 Withrow Avenue, North Riverdale M4K 1C9

Description

In Riverdale, a 130-foot-deep lot is rare. One that has been landscaped like this is rarer still. This backyard unfolds across not one, not two, but three sizeable Ipe decks, followed by a built-in hot tub and a level turf area with enough room for a soccer net, a putting green, or outdoor workouts. It's the kind of backyard you assumed you'd have to leave the city to find. Inside, you'll find the practical spaces Riverdale homes so often lack: a proper mudroom, a main-floor office, a living room that comfortably accommodates a sectional and a kitchen with the counter space to actually cook. Upstairs, count the beds - not the bedrooms. A second floor addition allowed for a king-sized primary bedroom, a spacious second bedroom that fits two double beds with room to spare, and laundry where laundry actually happens. The renovated bathroom feels luxurious, with a freestanding tub, double vanity and separate shower. The home's elevation on the north side of Withrow Avenue is another quiet advantage. The front entrance is at grade, so there are no stairs to navigate with groceries, strollers or aging parents. With nearly 20 feet of frontage, there is also enough width to accommodate two cars on the front pad. At the rear, that same change in elevation allows the lower level to walk directly out to the backyard at grade. It may be called a basement on paper, but it doesn't live like one. And then there's the location. Withrow JPS, coffee at the Rooster and skyline views from Riverdale Park are all just a two-minute walk away. Walk to Broadview Station or hop on the streetcar for an easy trip downtown. Once you're here, it's easy to understand why people rarely leave.
