About this property
Prepare to fall in love the moment you step inside this truly one-of-a-kind home. Rich in character, charm, and history, 79 Balfour Avenue is a rare offering unlike anything else on the market. Long-time neighbours say this unique property once served as the community's general store-a gathering place where neighbours met and connected. Today, that remarkable heritage lives on through the home's incredible personality, thoughtfully blended with modern updates and conveniences. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, architectural windows, and natural light from multiple exposures create an unforgettable atmosphere. The heart of the home is the stunning family-sized kitchen, where exposed beams, architectural windows, and an abundance of natural light create a space that's both functional and full of character. This fully detached two-storey home offers three spacious bedrooms, oversized principal rooms, and a large dining room perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Renovated kitchen and bathrooms mean there's nothing to do but move in and enjoy. The finished basement, with its separate rear entrance, includes a recreation room (or potential fourth bedroom), bathroom, and laundry area, offering excellent potential for an in-law suite or income-generating apartment. Enjoy a long, private fenced backyard ideal for children, pets, gardening, or summer entertaining, plus convenient 2 car laneway parking. Energy-efficient heat pumps (for both heating & cooling) throughout provide year-round comfort with individual temperature controls on every level. Ideally located in a fantastic neighbourhood close to the subway and GO Train, offering easy access across the city.A rare opportunity to own a home with exceptional character, fascinating history, and modern functionality. Truly a special property that must be seen to be appreciated.
