Fantastic Family Get Away- sleeps 8

Fantastic, open-concept family home. The completely enclosed backyard is an oasis for children, and a great adult retreat as well. A 'bunkhouse' for kids, complete with lights and an electrical outlet for gadgets. Towels, toys, bikes, hikes, and fun for all. 20 minutes to the Toronto Zoo, Hockey Hall of Fame, sports, shopping, and theatre. Walking distance to transit. In the woods, in the city. The space Classic Salt Cod style home with one of the first open-concept renovations in Toronto. Once inside the front door, the main level is open through the kitchen and living room with a beautiful view of the back yard. Relaxed with a contemporary feel. Eat-in kitchen seats 6, dining room seats 12. The kitchen has just had a full renovation in 2020 and is stocked with all you would need. We leave sugar, salt, flour, tea and spices for your convenience. The private backyard features an in-ground salt water pool. No chlorine effects on eyes for the little ones. The pool is automatically regulated and we keep the water temperature at 80°F. We have an automatic vacuum that plugs in and can vacuum the bottom overnight. For longer stays we will book a pool attendant to check in on things. The house has three main bedrooms, and the cabana in the backyard has bunk beds for four adventurous ones who want to feel like they’re ‘sleeping in the woods!’ The backyard is private and serene, surrounded by a 6-foot security fence and a canopy of 100 year-old oak trees that helps cut some of the summer heat. We keep the space stocked with pool toys, beach towels, 3 (adult) bikes, a scooter, and toddler toys if requested. The house also features a washer, dryer, and a baby grand piano. The piano is for playing, don't worry -my husband the conductor says it’s for playing.☺ Located in the quiet and scenic Birchcliff neighbourhood, which is part of the Scarborough Bluffs along the edge of Lake Ontario. We are a block from the edge of Lake Ontario, walking distance to some lovely trails, parks, and Rosetta McClean Gardens - a mature sculpture gardens. On a clear day you can stand near the cliffs and see the lights at night from New York state. Also nearby are the popular Beaches Boardwalk, shops, and restaurants. The Zoo is 20 minutes one way and Canada's Wonderland 35 in the other direction. Sports arenas and other attractions downtown are 25 min away by car, 45 min away by transit. Lots to do close at hand, before coming home to relax by the pool and enjoy a backyard BBQ. Toronto Transit (TTC) is easy and connected by a bus stop at the top of the street. The bus connects to streetcar and subway lines, making everything feel close. The house has a driveway with parking for 3 cars and street parking is free.
