2 Fairbourne Cres, Toronto, ON CA Toronto Home for Sale

This lovely home is located on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in a nice family neighbourhood. If you’re in the mood for a walk, how about taking the baby or family dog to one of the numerous small area parks. Or, drive or take TTC a short distance over to Taylor Creek Park, with its miles of trails and wildlife to enjoy.

This neighbourhood has lots of shops and restaurants, nearby supermarkets, (big box stores and several plazas), and much more, within walking distance, or just a short drive away. If you want the busy street scene the Beaches, the Danforth or downtown Toronto has to offer, just take a quick drive or TTC ride and you can spend some time strolling along, exploring the numerous shops and cafes in these areas.

There are schools, parks, churches, libraries, and recreation centres with pools in close proximity, and public transportation is a very convenient two minute walk. The Gardiner and DVP are both just a 10 minute drive away. The GO Train is just down Main St, south of Danforth. This is a quiet street with great neighbours, not just casually friendly, but genuinely caring! Young or not so young, there is a real sense of community here where you can make friends for life.

This gorgeous, immaculate, detached bungalow has been obviously lovingly cared for. The house is just the right size. Not too big, but certainly big enough for a couple, young or retired, or a young family. Enter the foyer which leads to the kitchen and to the bright north-facing living room. The big picture window in the living room allows natural light to stream in right through to the dining room and accentuates the beautiful hardwood floors. Through the arched doorway you find the dining room which enjoys the benefit of bright west-facing windows. Fabulous features here include crown mouldings, a wood mantel over the faux fireplace and a pass-thru to the kitchen with glass doors and windows from the old Astoria restaurant on the Danforth!

 The lovely kitchen has lots of cupboards and counter space with quartz countertops, oak cabinets, a big east-facing window over the sink, and ceramic tile floor and backsplash. It’s bright, well laid out and a warm, comfortable place to whip up delicious meals! You’ll find more interesting details here - nice trim around the doors, and the “greek key” design from the Astoria windows echoed in the wall trim around the cupboards.

At the back of the house, you find two nice bedrooms with hardwood floors (master has carpet laid over top), both overlooking the backyard and gardens. The sunny south exposure allows lots of glorious sun to stream in. The master bedroom has a terrific custom-built wall storage unit (new 2008). On the way to the bedrooms, you find the bright and airy renovated 4-piece bathroom -gorgeous!

The back yard is huge (138’ deep on east—179’ on west + 97’ across the rear), sunny and fully fenced. There is lots of room for kids to play, or to lounge around on the patio area, enjoying the sunshine. Have get-togethers all summer and right through fall! The whole yard is dotted with beautiful perennial gardens and mature trees, and at the back is the handy shed to store all your gardening needs. You will enjoy mature plants in lovely gardens and still have room to add to the great work already here. It’s like being in the country, with the convenience of the city. If you like gardening, spending time outdoors playing with the kids or the dog, entertaining friends and family, or just relaxing enjoying the sunshine and the birds singing, this is a wonderful oasis!
