Island Park Midcentury

Set on prestigious Island Park Drive, this impeccably renovated midcentury bungalow offers a rare blend of tranquility and urban convenience. Set on an expansive 18,731-square-foot lot, the property boasts stunning landscaping and borders NCC parkland on two sides, ensuring unparalleled privacy and serene natural surroundings.

The home itself is a showcase of midcentury character and has been well upgraded by its current owners, including the installation of 21 windows in the main living spaces (2021). Stepping inside, you are greeted by classic midcentury elements from exposed wood paneling to soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive picture windows that frame tranquil, treed views. The main floor features three spacious bedrooms, each accompanied by its own full bathroom, offering both comfort and convenience. The phenomenal primary suite has a large, elegant ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower and French door access to the back deck. This suite is a true retreat and looks out to trees. The two other main floor bedrooms also look out to the lush backyard. The primary ensuite and main floor full bathroom both have radiant-heated floors.

The phenomenal open concept layout opens into inviting family and living rooms that looks out to the stunning front garden. The dining room also offers wonderful space and leads to the extraordinary backyard. The kitchen offers a breakfast room with a pendant fixture that nods to midcentury design’s predilection for pops of colour – often orange in hue. The front door and mailbox are also orange creating a fun sense of cohesion. The kitchen accesses the mudroom / laundry room, which provides easy access to the upper deck—an ideal spot for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the lush greenery that surrounds.

With a fantastic deck that is partly covered and a sophisticated lower terrace, the outdoor space is just amazing. The backyard is also beautifully hedged and two sides look out to parkland beyond.

Another highlight of the property is the lower level suite, complete with its own entrance and perfect for multi-generational living or accommodating guests. This additional space includes a generously-sized bedroom, full bathroom and a versatile family room, ensuring both privacy and comfort. It is accessible from the interior of the home as well as via a separate covered entrance in the backyard. The lower level hardwood area has heated floors to ensure comfort year-round.

Whether relaxing on the upper deck, gardening in the meticulously landscaped grounds, exploring the adjacent parkland trails or enjoying weekend bike days just steps away, this property offers endless opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. It is also in an amazing location, just steps from the shops and restaurants of Westboro but far enough away to still retain privacy and space.
