Rare character home is nestled in the heart of Lawrence Park. This home boasts incredible charm and original finishes that have been immaculately maintained. This detached side hall floor plan is finished in unique yellow brick and the leaded glass windows have an art deco flare, common in traditional 1930s construction.
Step inside and absorb the details. The warmth of the wood trim will be your first impression. From the front foyer into the spacious principal rooms note the tremendous amount of care taken to maintain the original features. The hardwood floors with inlay pattern, the gas fireplace with decorative mantle and the sconce lighting offer a handsome charm. French doors with etched glass welcome you into the formal dining room. The rich wood wainscotting on the walls can not be overlooked. The dining room has an exterior door to the back deck and shares the same flooring details as the living room.
The kitchen is the heart of the home that overlooks the massive main floor family room. This space has been updated for modern family life. The eat-in kitchen has soft-underfoot cork tile floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A multi purpose built-in desk has been added for the whole family to use. Step down to the large family room. The three sliding glass doors allow for ample natural light and provide multiple views of the backyard and pool. The broadloom flooring and gas fireplace keeps this space cozy for everyday family use.
The main floor is packed with functional space. Off the front foyer is a powder room for guests. The main floor laundry room has a side door entry to keep the kids clutter out of the way, but there is also a large cedar closet at the front door for everyday use. There is also access to the laundry room from the attached heated garage. Currently, there is a bonus main floor office off the laundry room. A mudroom or extra pantry storage would fit well in this space.
Upstairs, there are five bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite is at the front of the house and has stunning leaded glass windows. There is a 3-piece bathroom that has been recently updated. There are four kids bedrooms, one is currently being used as an office. This room has a fabulous electric fireplace with a rich wood mantel and built-in side cabinets. This room has a similar feel to the main floor principal rooms with hardwood, hand laid parquet floors and leaded glass windows. The main bathroom on the second floor is a recently renovated 3-piece with heated floors. The hallway has both a linen closet and cedar closet for clothing that needs special care.
The lower level has a lot of catch all space and multipurpose rooms to use as desired. There is a recreation room for the kids, currently set up as a home gym and a hobby room or secondary office. These rooms share access to a bonus powder room. Ample storage is available in the
front storage room or possible cantina, within the mechanical room in the crawl space under the family room addition.
164 Dinnick Crescent is set on a 50 x 150 foot lot. The front yard has been beautifully landscaped with mature greenery. The backyard is special. The large trees offer tremendous privacy from neighbours. The whole family will enjoy long summer days by the pool and the cabana adds extra convenience. The stone patio and platform deck allow for relaxation in the warm west sunshine. Parking is not a problem in the private driveway and bonus attached garage that is heated.
Located in a desirable pocket of Lawrence Park known for spacious lots, quiet streets and ample green space. There is easy access to TTC on Lawrence and walk to Yonge Street shops. Excellent public schools and several sought after private schools are within close proximity. Lawrence Park is a premium location for any growing family to call home.
