300 Bessborough Drive

The Details

An exquisite five-bedroom family home nestled on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Toronto’s coveted Leaside neighbourhood, 300 Bessborough Drive offers an extremely rare opportunity to live on a 50 foot by 169 foot lot with a one-of-a-kind first impression.

The unique “H”-shaped layout of the house with large windows throughout creates a warm and open environment filled with natural light. Many of the mid-century features designed by original owner and architect, Ed Barnett, have been thoughtfully preserved, bringing character and style to the space.

Upon entering the impressive light-filled home, one is immediately struck by the thoughtful renovations throughout the main floor. The main floor living space provides for many features that are in demand as more people continue to work from home – a separate, dedicated home office, a well-designed and functional eat-in kitchen, an impressive sunroom, and a family room that offers stunning views of the very private, large backyard. A special feature of this home is the well-positioned nanny/in-law suite on the main floor with its own three-piece bathroom.

On the second level are four generous bedrooms with ample storage, two bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in linen closet. The spacious and inviting principal bedroom features a luxurious dressing area lined with custom built-in cabinetry.

The finished lower level offers a great versatile space that would be perfect for a play area, gym or home theatre. The newly renovated expansive mudroom is a convenient landing area for busy families to access the home directly from the built-in garage. Behind the mudroom is a practical, dedicated pantry and secondary kitchen preparation area complete with a utility sink.

A private drive provides parking for multiple cars with ease and features a 400 square foot garage with direct access to the home. The beautifully landscaped front and back yards have been thoughtfully designed for present and future use. The rear multi-level courtyard patio connected to both the dining room and sunroom provides a versatile indoor/outdoor dining and entertainment space. Many mature trees line the back of the property providing excellent privacy and newer trees have been planted for continued coverage in the future. The expansive and level backyard would be perfect for a pool or skating rink – or both!

300 Bessborough Drive is only a short distance from the downtown core, steps away from grocery and retail stores on Bayview Avenue, in close proximity to some of the best public greenspaces in the city and surrounded by some of the top-ranking public and private schools that the city has to offer. This truly exceptional property offers a unique opportunity to own the perfect family home in a highly desirable and tight knit neighbourhood.
