This North Rosedale Beauty Is An Ideal Family Home

Tucked into the north pocket of beautiful (and sought-after) Rosedale, 36 Astley Avenue could be called the perfect family home. Built circa 2010, the five-bed, six-bath abode was recently updated, and today boasts an ideal balance of classic and contemporary finishes. In short, it's "tradition" meets "modern," fit for a family who prefers life's finest things. Positioned at the intersection of Astley Avenue and Governors Bridge, the home couldn't be more ideally located. Mere steps from the Beltline Trail, Don Valley Brickworks Park, and Evergreen Brick Works, the address is hugged by lush nature on its east side. To the west, all the luxuries of Rosedale and Moore Park await, including delightful restaurants, locally owned shops, and David A. Balfour Park.And this is all without mentioning proximity to Bayview Avenue, the Don Valley Parkway, and other major thoroughfares, serving easy access into downtown for dinner or a weekend show — or out of the city, for a weekend escape. But even with all this beauty and convenience around, once you've taken up residence at 36 Astley, we wouldn't blame you for becoming a homebody. Spacious and crafted with the utmost consideration, the home's design is made for truly living; for moving through daily routines and rhythms with ease. On the main level, you're welcomed by an open-concept layout that features multiple large principal rooms. You're invited to cozy up in either of the warm seating areas — living room or family room, the choice is yours — which open directly to the large kitchen. The layout is equally suited to family evenings at home or weekend nights spent hosting extended family or friends. In the warm months, the connected feel extends even further, as the family room leads directly to the back patio and, from there, a private and beautifully landscaped garden.
