Description

This stately turn-key home offers private backyard, 5 bed 5.5 bath and wood burning fireplace, all in an immaculate package among Riverdale's Northern Estates. Near shops, schools, and transit this beautifully maintained home supports a healthy lifestyle and access to nature from every window. The conservative columned exterior reveals a sumptuous parlor sitting room and lofted fireplace salon bathed in sun from south-facing windows. Home office accomodates business in a quiet corner, and the guest bedroom and formal dining weave into common areas: the heart of the home. Renovated open granite kitchen connects to sun room and double south-facing decks, leading down to a grassy manicured yard. Upstairs, luxuriate in your master bed with walk-in-closet, and en-suite bath with skylight and marble features. Two full bedrooms are generous, accentuated with dormer windows, natural light and enjoy a private outdoor space with tranquil views. Downstairs, the finished basement includes laundry, one-car garage, and maisonette apartment with separate entrance. This home is unique in that the backyard is home to several wildflowers and rare birds, and is also easy to maintain. Close to all but so very peaceful. Efficiently run on two-zone gas heat with central air. This is a modern, convenient and impressive Riverdale opportunity near all express transit, and is commuter friendly to Manhattan.
