Sun-Filled Semi-Detached Home

Asking: $999,000

Curb appeal matters- and this stately brick home has tons of it. With a manicured exterior, fresh landscaping including stonework, a sweet porch and ample front pad parking, this home truly catches the eye immediately.

One of the most beguiling features about this home is exotic hand scraped wood floors that are rich and enticing. They spread out through much of this inviting home.

This home is lovely and bright, flanked with ample windows and design elements that promote airflow and natural light, amplifying the sense of space. The anchor of the main floor is a stunning open tread staircase with solid 3” maple risers, complete with glass railings. Sightlines flow through.

The open living and dining room are flush with natural light, thanks to the large windows.  The updated kitchen is equally as sunny. Quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances and hood fan make this space modern and functional. A large island is a great place to help kids with homework while you prepare dinner, or to entertain friends while whipping up a feast.

Upstairs, you’ll find a bright and cheery primary bedroom, which is connected to a luxe main bathroom. There are two entrances to this bathroom, perfect for busy families.  The bathroom is fully updated in style, and has beautiful elements like a skylight and a trendy wood accent wall. The secondary bedroom is pleasingly large and has abundant natural light.

The walkout lower level is impressive and sun-filled, with a functional and fun family room. Large patio doors usher you out to the yard. There is even a nook that serves well for working from home.  The lower-level bathroom is fully updated with an extra wide shower. The laundry room in this home isn’t just about wash and fold. It’s posh with updated cabinetry, sink and fixtures.

Outdoor space at home is a must these days, and 227 Erskine Avenue has a wonderful backyard that is private, lush and perfect for entertaining. There is even built-in seating to accommodate your friends and family.

Life is Good in a Connected Community

The fabric of the Sherwood Park neighbourhood is no doubt its residents who help to foster this deep sense of community. Think community events like BBQs, movie nights etc. where you can meet and mingle with your neighbours. 

It also helps that this lovely home is walkable to a ton of amenities that will make your life easier- giving you time to spend on enjoying your home and your loved ones.

Errands can be done in a flash with Loblaws, Walmart, SummerHill Market, Shoppers Drug Mart and the LCBO super close by. There are family-friendly shops a stroll away as well, like Mastermind Toys and Mabel’s Fables Children’s Bookstore.

Pick up a coffee and some Korean-style macarons to nosh on at The Social Blend. Everybody needs a go-to brunch spot. Yours would be the Homeway, right down the road from home. Hit the patio at the Granite Brewery and savour some craft beer. Dine on comfort food in style at Uncle Betty’s Diner.  Not sure what you are in the mood for tonight? Wander down to nearby Yonge St. and choose from numerous eateries. 

There is nothing better than having great greenspace near home, and 227 Erskine is right near popular Sherwood Park. This is easily one of Toronto’s best urban parks, spread out over 40 acres. There are boardwalk trails perfect for nature walks. There is also a playground, picnic areas, wading pools and a large off-leash area for your furry friends.

Another peaceful and beautiful area for a stroll is nearby Mount Pleasant Cemetery. This is one of the country’s most historic cemeteries, with several notable figures buried there, including William Lyon Mackenzie King. It has a wide collection of trees, making it one of the more diverse arboretums in North America.

Having quality schools is important- and not just for the members of your household. Being close to good schools is one feature that future buyers will look for, so it is a coveted amenity. Just up the road is Manor Montessori, known for its progressive style to education. You can walk to school for your whole career, from JK- Gr. 12 from this home. For JK-Gr 5, there is Eglington Junior PS, for Gr. 6-Gr. 8, there is Hodgson Middle School. High school is at North Toronto CI.

This home offers a chance to combine stylish living, comfortably nestled in an idyllic enclave. It’s the kind of experience that housing dreams are made of!
