SHAW ME THE WAY HOME!

THINGS TO LOVE IN OUR SELLER’S WORDS

• The house gets beautiful light all day from north, east, and west exposures.
• We are surrounded by the beautiful garden and trees. Throughout the spring and summer, there’s always something blooming.
• It’s a great home for entertaining with the huge deck and backyard.
• Love how spacious the kitchen is and the bonus seating from the large island.
• We have lots of parking! The attached garage fits two cars and there’s room for a third in private drive.
• The basement has tall ceilings which makes it a very usable space with some nice natural lighting – great as a recreation room, kids play area.
• We love the basement ground floor walkout. It makes it easy to come and go with our bikes parked in the basement.
• You get the best of both worlds being at the corner of Shaw and Pendrith. Shaw has a great bike lane that easily gets you around the city while Pendrith is a community oriented neighbourhood with low traffic.
• There are little luxuries that make the home feel super cozy like the heated floors in the kitchen and 2nd floor bathroom.
•  We also enjoy at home spa days in the basement bathroom steam shower.
• The enclosed porch is great for people and bike watching along Shaw. Also great for prolonged hellos and goodbyes while staying warm.
• The people and community are second to none.
• We have friendly and helpful neighbours on Shaw and Pendrith. The Pendrith neighbourhood email group always has people ready to help each other out, lend a hand or provide local tips.
• We’ll miss the Willowvale laneway parties in the summer which always include games, chats, a community pot luck, and a big slab cake.
• Every Thursday from summer through to Halloween, Pendrith is closed for Pendrith Street Play, where kids play and eat pizza while parents socialize over drinks.
• There are at least three schools nearby, including a French immersion school.
• You’re located near groceries galore with Fiesta Farms on Christie, produce markets in all directions – (Dovercourt, Ossington, Manning) Farm Boy and Loblaws on Dupont and PAT on Bloor.
• Nella Cucina near Bathurst has all the kitchen supplies you could dream of.
• We have great cafes and baked goods at Contra Coffee, Banoi, Better Days Donuts, and Masa Deli.
• If you like Korean food, you can find all the classic dishes nearby on Bloor (Korean BBQ, fresh walnut cakes, shaved ice and more!)
• There are also lots of other options in the neighbourhood! Ethiopian food, Thai, MANY pizza spots, (Mac’s, Maker, Ambassador).
• For family fun, Christie Pits has free movie nights every summer hosted by the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show.
• Christie Pits hosts free Maple Leafs baseball games from May to August. They’re always popular!
