Welcome to 151 Balsam Avenue, a renovated executive home next to the Glen Manor Ravine, and represented by DeClute Real Estate Brokerage.

The front yard is elegantly landscaped with birch trees, English ivy and hydrangeas, while formal cedars frame the newly renovated west-facing porch.

This truly unique three-storey century home marries classic Parisian style with sleek contemporary living.

The front foyer opens to the combined living room and library. This elegant room boasts custom library shelving and cupboards, a soaring bay window overlooking the front yard, coved plaster ceiling with vintage crystal chandelier, and an antique French wall-sconce - while the room is warmed by a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful antique Artefacts mantel.

The open-plan dining room showcases a majestic coffered ceiling with crown moulding and a stunning crystal chandelier, with a rustic barn beam running between the dining room and kitchen, through to the back of the home.

The stunning gourmet kitchen features sleek modern cabinetry with polished-nickel hardware, dovetailed solid-wood interior drawers, and a full-height, double door pantry. High-end appliances include a five-burner gas cooktop and electric oven, a counter-depth fridge, and whisper-quiet dishwasher.

French doors open onto the backyard deck, with steps down to a private back yard surrounded by mature shrubbery and majestic trees.

The kitchen also boasts an 8 ft. custom-designed, antiqued pine island with edged Carrera marble counter and an over-sized apron sink with polished-nickel faucet; as well as vintage French farmhouse pendant lighting.

The family room has a charming exposed brick feature wall and gas fireplace, cozy touches to this relaxing space.

A 9 ft. ceiling, an original stained glass window, vintage chandelier, and custom cabinetry are showcased in the expansive front foyer.

Up the staircase, to the second level, are three bright, light-filled bedrooms, and two luxuriously finished washrooms, with wide-plank hardwood flooring flowing throughout the hallway and into all the bedrooms.

The second bedroom has a soaring bay window, and its expansive built-in wardrobe has soft-close drawers, ample hanging space, and custom full-height sliding doors.

The third bedroom features a beautifully detailed original fireplace with cast iron insert, a built-in antique glass-front armoire, a patio walkout and bay window, and wall-to-wall built-in wardrobe.

The family washroom is finished with limestone tiles; radiant floor heating; shower area with glass doors and polished-nickel rain-head shower and fixtures.

The master bedroom boasts an exposed brick feature wall, antique chandelier, and French doors leading out to a gorgeous private balcony retreat.

Completing this luxurious master retreat is an expansive walk-in closet showcasing a make-up vanity table, a wall of fitted cabinets on one side, and open shelving on the other.

A bright and airy, sky-lit third-floor staircase leads to a beach-like paradise.

This level has fresh, light hardwood flooring throughout, and the fourth bedroom features a seashell chandelier, two gorgeous closets, alcove shelving, and a built-in desk with sconce task lighting for homework.

The 3-pc washroom is finished with a pebble tile floor with radiant heating, a large skylight, sleek white cabinets; and an oversized custom glass shower with rain-head shower.

With a seashell chandelier, large fitted closet, alcove shelving, a built-in hammock, sectional, and wall-mounted TV, this space is also a terrific fifth bedroom, or a dream hangout.

The full-height, bead board basement showcases a bright, airy space ideal as a media room or home office area, finished with a long wall of sleek white storage cabinets, gleaming high-gloss epoxy floors, whitewashed beams and brick pillars.

Behind a barn board sliding door lies a contemporary bathroom with barn board style ceramic planks, radiant under-floor heating, custom glass shower with polished-nickel rain-head shower and fixtures, and a sleek, modern vanity.

The laundry area has a brand new front-load washer and dryer - and the adjacent wine cellar is a naturally cool room with flagstone-style flooring and low lighting.
