We are pleased to share a rarely offered North Leaside home backing onto a lush ravine. Quietly tucked away on a family-friendly crescent in one of Toronto's most sought-after enclaves, the new owners will appreciate living in a mature neighbourhood while still being close to all the city has to offer.
Welcome to14 Rykert Crescent
This is a classic mid-century example of a two-storey brick home widely regarded as the signature building style throughout Leaside.
The gracious living room features an oversized picture window perfect for bright sunny mornings of reading and relaxing.
A stately stone fireplace is an inviting way to spend an evening connecting with loved ones in the glow of the hearth.
The original hardwood floors flow beautifully from the living room through to the dining room.
Warmth and Character
Lovely, well-proportioned principal rooms accented with a stylish archway open out to the backyard ravine beyond. Imagine hosting friends and family for festive celebrations and watching your guests flow in and around these wonderful spaces.
The kitchen also has a large window that overlooks the backyard, and it's a great vantage point for keeping an eye on the kids or the afternoon BBQ that you might host.
Upstairs
This bright bedroom features a large window that overlooks the street and front walk. It has excellent potential as a nursery or home office where you watch the neighbourhood as you work.
In the past, this room had been used as a sitting room and library. The generous proportions and sheer size mean the space that could make a very comfortable bedroom with a lounging area. The double-wide window also faces the street-side of the house.
This bedroom is a pleasingly large room with lots of potential and flexibility. It overlooks the backyard, the ravine and the glorious tree canopy offering magnificent private views.
The Privacy and the Potential
For quite some time, the same arborist has been employed for decades to ensure the large trees are healthy and stable. The property backs onto a mature forested section of the Serena Gundy Park, which in turn is connected to the extensive ravine system. The park boasts horse stables, walking/hiking trails, and sports fields for cricket, rugby, soccer, and field hockey, among other activities. Also nearby is Wilket Creek Park, the vast Sunnybrook Park system, and trails that meander 12 kilometres from Edwards Gardens in the north to the rustic Warden Woods in the south.
The existing home in concert with the 40' x 135' lot offers many options, from interior renovations and updating, possibly an addition to the rear of the house, or potentially, a custom ground-up newly constructed dream home. Living on a peaceful ravine while having immediate access to excellent schools, Sunnybrook Health Sciences, the DVP, the future Leaside LRT station, a wide range of shopping, restaurants and cafes, this location really does have it all.
