12 Rowntree Avenue, Toronto

This spotless bungalow on a 25 x 141 lot has been with the same owner for over 50 years. It has been updated and maintained with great care over that time. The main floor offers both a dining room and an eat-in kitchen, as well as two bedrooms and a bathroom renovated in 2024. The rear foyer provides access to the primary bedroom, basement stairs, and rear covered patio. With the addition of a partition and a door or two, a basement apartment with direct rear access could be created. The basement has a large recreation room with a lowered floor, and full kitchen, living, and dining areas. There is room to partition a bedroom within this huge space. A laundry room and another updated bathroom are at the rear of the basement, with a storage/cold room at the front. The rear yard includes a fully fenced and private grassed area adjacent to the large covered patio. Behind this is a paved parking area that can easily accommodate three or more vehicles, easily accessed by a wide driveway. A shed at the rear of the property provides storage and is electrified for future flexibility. A consultants report has been done to confirm that a garden suite (of the largest possible size) can be built on this spacious lot. Located in the Silverthorn neighbourhood, arguably the city's hilliest (its been called Toronto's Secret San Francisco), the house is a short walk to the retail shops along Rogers Road and St. Clair Ave West.
