Design Perfection On Durie Steals The Show!

Every so often there’s a home for sale that’s impossible to forget and the moment you set eyes on this gorgeous property, you will fall in love. Professionally designed and renovated, 685 Durie St is a real stunner, both inside and out. Take in the impressive curb appeal as you walk up the herringbone stone walkway and up the brand new front porch, with stylish horizontal planks, custom gate and modern front door.

All you have to do is turn the key…

Not all homes are renovated equal and this renovation is truly the star of the show.  Open the door and be wowed by the beautiful high-end finishes, gorgeous design elements and an incredibly functional layout throughout. Renovated as recently as 2018, this home will not be needing any updates for years to come.  High-end finishes, wide plank white oak floors, pot-lights and elegant light fixtures – this home is the definition of turnkey.

The home is where the heart is!

In this case, the heart of the home is the kitchen.  Step into the front vestibule, take off your coat and come in to a beautiful, professionally designed main floor with the kitchen as a centre piece. A custom built chef’s kitchen steals the show with all new appliances, gorgeous gas range and an over-sized island with plenty of counter space.  Open concept to the living room and dining room, this modern kitchen allows you to easily entertain guests or keep an eye on the little ones while you prep for dinner.

With a large west facing window as the focal point of the dining room, sit down to family meals while basking in the glow of a gorgeous autumn sunset.  Not to be outdone, the living room features a walk out to the back deck and an east facing window, ensuring plenty of light floods the space throughout the entire day.

A modern yet classic upstairs.

Upstairs features 3 bedrooms, easily converted into a home office, workout space or hobby room.  The primary bedroom is located at the rear of the house with a large east facing window, welcoming that morning sun all year round.  A beautiful, designer’s dream bathroom on the second floor with gorgeous herringbone tile, burnished gold fixtures with clean, elegant lines evokes an art deco vibe for the modern age.  The second bedroom overlooks the front of the house with a large west facing window, filling the room with late afternoon golden sun, the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and a good book.  With the entire home professionally redesigned and renovated, it’s clear that no corners were cut, and no expenses spared.  This is a home designed for comfortable, easy, stylish living.

Comfortable, warm and inviting bonus space!

The renovation of this gorgeous home is complete with a fully finished basement, insulated, warm and inviting,  A room perfect for watching movies, or a children’s play area, or both.  This basement has plenty of room for everyone.  Carpeted in a cushy, comfortable soft carpet throughout, this stylish and inviting space is where you’ll want to spend a few winter nights for sure.  With tons of storage, and we mean tons, built into the walls, there is no shortage of space to hide away your holiday decorations, kids toys or seasonal clothing.  The lower level of 685 Durie St also features a stunning and massive full bathroom with laundry.  An oversized farmhouse style laundry sink and enough counter space to double as a folding table. This is the most convenient layout for a laundry room bathroom you could think of.  The large shower features a rain shower head, as well as a hand held and a built in bench, perfect for steaming away the stress of the day.

Hello outdoor space – front or back?

Follow the sun in these outdoor spaces!  East facing backyard for morning coffee, west-facing front porch for evening cocktails or a nice relaxing tea to finish the day and watch the sunset. The west facing front porch, offers a cozy and easy spot to unwind and enjoy the afternoon sun. Perch on this porch and admire the nicely updated homes and gardens along the street and just relax in the quiet of this lovely, low traffic west end neighbourhood.

A flat and nicely manicured private yard, in which every square inch is usable, awaits.  A large back deck extends off the rear of house, the perfect location to start your day with a morning coffee or finish your day with an evening cocktail in the summer.  Fancy a fire table or a BBQ?  You’ll find a gas line already installed on the deck. The professional design also extends to the yard.  The deck has a gorgeous, modern feature wall adding to the feeling of being in a luxury resort surrounded by gorgeous warm decking and plenty of space for hanging plants, potted plants, vines and even a bird feeder, why not? There is also a newer storage shed, just in case the basement storage wasn’t enough.  Ideal for storing, bikes, a lawnmower and all your gardening needs, as the grounds at this home are perfect for someone with a green thumb.

Stroll around your new neighbourhood…

Located in quaint Upper Bloor West Village, a relaxed and quiet neighbourhood filled with young families. Living here will give you access to some of the the west end’s best neighbourhoods, notably Baby Point, The Junction and even the Humber River. 685 Durie St is close enough to the action, a 5-10 minutes walk to the Junction strip – boutique shopping, restaurants and bars, but far enough to be a quiet escape (more on those great options here!). If you’re looking for something closer to home, there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques to choose from on Annette Street and Jane street, literally at your doorstep.  One of our favourite coffee shops is the newly opened St. John’s Pantry, located right on St. John’s Rd.
