Welcome to 43 Torrens Ave. A turnkey 3-bed, 2-bath detached home in the heart of East York, a neighbourhood where families put down roots, kids play in local parks and community events bring neighbours together year round. This well located home features hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels, a bright open concept living and dining area made for hosting with large windows, a modern accent wall and upgraded contemporary pendant lighting in the dining room. Matching pendant lighting highlights the breakfast bar in the updated eat-in kitchen, which features granite countertops, crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a walkout to the large backyard and detached garage. Upstairs are three large bedrooms with plenty of natural light and spacious closets, plus an updated full 4-piece bathroom. The finished lower level adds a large open-concept recreation room that works as a playroom, office or movie space, plus an updated modern bathroom and a separate laundry room. The rare 150-ft deep lot offers plenty of flexibility, with a freshly updated front porch, a rear patio for summer dinners and weekend barbecues, a detached garage, and a fully fenced green space-a blank canvas for gardens, a play area, or backyard oasis. Potential for a garden suite with a detached garage (buyer to verify). The big-ticket items are done: hardwood floors (2016), new roof with upgraded insulation and R-value (2017-2018), new interior doors (2017-2018) and new furnace (2018). Walk Score of 88, with parks, shops and top restaurants nearby. Steps to William Burgess Elementary and in the Westwood Middle School and East York Collegiate catchments. A TTC bus stop is a 4-min walk, a 5-min drive to Broadview Station and a 7-min drive to the DVP. The Don Valley trails, Todmorden Mills, Don River Park, Rosedale Valley and Evergreen Brick Works are all close by. Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully updated, this home is ready for its next owner to settle in and grow.
