The home you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Imagine a picturesque, all-brick bungalow on a wide, deep, landscaped lot set well back from the street, steps away from shopping, dining, transit and all the conveniences. Now imagine the freedom afforded by a competitive asking price to transform this home into your own beautiful sanctuary! It’s no wonder 64 Harlow Crescent has never changed hands since the original owners purchased the brand new home back in 1952, when homes were built to last. Now it’s your turn to upgrade this incredible home into your very own castle.
The Thistletown community is characterized by many bungalows built in the 1940s and ‘50s overlooking the forest ravines of the Humber River, and 64 Harlow Crescent is no exception. Set well back from the street on a wide, treed, grassy lot with tons of curb appeal, the all-brick house was built in 1952 and is in prime condition, making it a great candidate for a full renovation by demanding home-buyers. Built and owned by the current owner, it has never changed title and has been meticulously maintained for over six decades.
A long driveway leads to the attractive all-brick bungalow, lending it exceptional curb appeal and indicating what is to come – an exceedingly well cared for, solid home with a sound building envelope, just waiting for modern finishes to truly reach its full potential.
A 16 x 15 foot fully permitted addition to the back of the house circa 1965 added a third bedroom to the original two-bedroom home. A wood burning fireplace with WETT certification adds charm to the living room, while a rear door leading directly to the basement increases the possibilities for homeowners considering a basement apartment rental for added income, or a convenient in-law suite.
Etobicoke is a beautiful, family-oriented West Toronto community combining big-city amenities and the quiet, secluded feel of suburbia. Its residential streets are lined with mature trees and stately detached homes set well back from the street, typically on large lots; the neighbourhood is characterized by an abundance of parkland and open space, excellent transportation routes, highly rated public and private schools, and shopping plazas that conveniently cover all lifestyle needs.
Close walking distance to extensive parkland and trails, rec centres, culturally diverse shopping, East and West Indian dining and professional services on Islington Avenue and Albion Road, and many nearby community sports facilities make the Thistletown-Beaumonde Heights neighbourhood a great place to raise children. The school district provides access to excellent Etobicoke schools, including French, private, and Catholic options as well as close proximity to the sprawling Humber College North campus and Guelph-Humber University, making this bustling pocket of Etobicoke an excellent choice for those with school-aged or post-secondary-aged children, or couples wishing to start a family in their dream home.
Thistletown-Beaumonde Heights, part of the larger Rexdale community, is nestled amidst the rustic beauty of the Humber River Valley lands, which extend to the Humber Arboretum featuring hundreds of flowering species. This picturesque neighbourhood is home to a wide mix of people from many different cultural backgrounds. There are many neighbourhood landmarks, including Anga’s Farm and Nursery, a privately owned farm popular with Thistletown residents who regularly stop here in the summertime to purchase fruit, vegetables and honey. Another Thistletown landmark is the Village Green, situated just off Albion Road, which is the site of the very popular Thistletown Fair held the first Saturday in June. The fair includes a flea market, local entertainment, a children’s carnival, a barbecue and more, all hosted by the Thistletown Lions Club.
Commuters enjoy easy access to Highway 401 via Islington Avenue or Weston Road as well as TTC bus service along Finch Avenue West and Islington Avenue, which provides a connecting bus to Islington subway station on the Bloor-Danforth subway line. Etobicoke North GO station and the Etobicoke General Hospital are only a couple of kilometres away from the home at 64 Harlow Crescent, and business travelers will appreciate the close proximity to the airport.
If you are looking for an amazing opportunity to renovate a gorgeous, rock-solid bungalow in the city, yet far enough from downtown to assure breathing space, 64 Harlow Crescent could be your forever home in beautiful Etobicoke. If living close to good schools and all the amenities you could ever want is important to you, 64 Harlow Crescent is now on the market!
