The team at Grace & Co. is honoured to be representing the sale of 26 Woodland Park Road – a stunning home in the Hunt Club that was just introduced to the market!
Striking the perfect balance between modern and traditional, all four sides of the home are clad in Hardie siding – which pays homage to the much-loved traditional Beach homes that were clad in wood siding. As does the 20ft long covered front porch – an amenity rarely offered on newly built homes. Yet, even from the street, this home teases of its modern edge. From the black windows and front door to the glass railings, composite stairs and porch, light fixtures and house number – the finishes at 26 Woodland Park are straight from your favourite designer’s Instagram feed.
Before you step inside, it must be shared that the interlock driveway and garage floor (as well as the entire basement slab) is heated. Add to that, the lack of sidewalk, and you soon realize your days of shovelling snow have ended! And when you enter your car in the morning, the snow from last night has melted away and evaporated and your car is pre-heated for a comfortable start to your day.
Inside, the sunken foyer features a herringbone tile floor which, like the side foyer and all 5 bathroom floors, is heated. The wide plank white oak floors, soaring 9ft ceiling and nearly 12ft West facing sliding doors all work together to drench the main floor in natural light. Love to cook? You are about to fall in love with this home! Anchored by a 10ft island that seats 5, this kitchen is truly the heart of the home. A 30” Franke sink overlooks the backyard while a secondary prep sink means there is plenty of room for your sous-chef! Appliances are all top of the line with double Wolf wall ovens, a 36” 6-burner Wolf cooktop, a side-by-side Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, under counter Wolf microwave drawer and Miele dishwasher. Don’t miss the walk-in pantry hiding behind the barn doors!
The main floor family room features a dramatic wall of high-quality millwork that flanks a 50” linear gas fireplace clad in stone from floor to ceiling. And those nearly 12ft sliding doors walk out to a two-tiered composite deck and a sunny West facing yard with enough room for a pool!
On your way upstairs, don’t forget to look at the hidden play space off the landing – a magical space for the little ones or great for additional storage! Once upstairs, the skylight floods the space with more light while a set of double doors lead you to the owners’ suite. A tranquil room with sunset views, a large walk-in closet kitted out with kitchen grade built-ins and an ensuite with large freestanding tub, a 6ft glass shower with floating bench and another oversized skylight. The two kids’ rooms at the front feature ceilings that vault to over 10ft and they share a beautiful bathroom with separate tub and glass shower. The 4th bedroom, like the owners’ room, features sunset views and its own ensuite bathroom. Laundry is no longer a chore with your second floor laundry room featuring a steam washer and dryer, wash sink and lots of storage – and, yet again, another skylight!
The lower level doesn’t feel like one at all. With nearly 8ft ceilings, wide plank flooring, a second 50” fireplace clad in gorgeous stone from floor to ceiling, a stunning wet bar with undercounter drink fridge, the 5th bedroom, a second laundry room, a mudroom with hooks and built-in storage, and a 5th bathroom which features a steam shower with floating bench! And as we mentioned earlier, that entire basement slab is heated for warm and cozy toes, as well as less work required by your furnace.
We would be remiss not to mention some of the technology built into this home. From the Nest front doorbell and thermostat to the Brilliant automated lighting and pre-wired security camera points, so much of your day-to-day living can be controlled from your pocket!
All this on Woodland Park – a street desired for its low traffic and mature canopy. Drive the street and you will notice that newer two-storey homes like this now outnumber the original war-time bungalows that were built shortly after the Toronto Hunt Club sold its land on the North side of Kingston Road. The community is built around Blantyre Park which offers an outdoor pool, children’s playground and baseball diamond. In the Winter, the hill on the North side of the park becomes a community hub for tobogganing and 2 outdoor rinks are maintained by locals for pleasure skating and shinny. Feeding to two popular schools (Blantyre for JK-8 and Malvern for 9-12), this is a highly desirable location for young families looking for new homes on large lots in an area with a real sense of community.
Built with no expense spared, for a discerning homeowner, it’s time for this home to find its new family. If you would like a private tour of 26 Woodland Park Rd, please contact Chelsea Grace at [email protected] or through the office at (416) 699-9295.
