In a quiet section of Toronto’s east end, once known for turn-of-the-century holiday-makers, 25 Kingswood Rd. is at the heart of the Balmy Beach Conservation District — an area once known for the Edwardian era Scarboro Beach and Victoria Park Amusement Parks.
The historic tree-lined neighbourhood of Kingswood South is a moment’s stroll to the village-like setting of Queen Street East, the Beaches and R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, a remarkable example of art deco architecture that overlooks Lake Ontario.
Ensuring the home’s original charm remained intact, 25 Kingswood Rd. was carefully updated in 2013 and is now on the market for $2.849 million. It offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a beautiful backyard.
Enter through the front hall and pass through a set of antique parlour doors into the living room — like most of the doors, they’re an original feature of this property.
Notice the glorious amount of sunlight that streams through the large bay window. Offering sun-dappled street views makes it a favourite feature of this picturesque room.
The honey-toned hardwood floors and modernized gas fireplace, graced by a period-appropriate mantelpiece, add to this room’s allure, making it a welcoming spot to come home to.
With plenty of upgrades and room to move about, this contemporary kitchen provides ample countertop and cupboard space for all your culinary needs.
Because it opens onto the living room, dining room and yard, it’s not only a convenient space but will undoubtedly become the heart and soul of the home.
It’s easy to imagine creating memories here where family gathers around the dining table for holiday dinners and friends come together in celebration.
With pretty backyard views and access to a large terrace, the dining space is a lovely and spacious spot for formal and casual meals of all sorts.
On the second floor, discover several perfectly sized bedrooms, each with its own charm and ambiance.
With peaceful tree-lined views and custom built-in storage, the primary bedroom is a welcome sight at the end of a long day.
A recent addition, the lower level is a surprisingly bright and airy space thanks to its tall ceilings. It makes for a great place to kick your feet up.
The deep expanses of this lot are such an added delight — there’s just so much space! What’s more, the lawn makes an ideal spot for all sorts of activities, from entertaining to games to gardening with ease. Enjoy the birdsong and breeze under the mature tree canopy or fire up the barbecue on the large sundeck.
