Nestled in Riverdale a few blocks south of Withrow Park, you'll find this contemporary home at 266 Withrow Ave. OK, maybe nestled isn't the right word for a five bedroom, five bathroom house. It's anything but wanting for space. The rooms aren't small either - there's large windows, high ceilings, and lots of room for stretching out. And the master bedroom comes with a walk in closet and an en suite. Who says you need to move to the suburbs for square footage?

There are lots of great features in this modern home too. The main floor is open concept with 11 foot ceilings and it features a large hanging fireplace. The basement includes a fitness room and a wine cellar. The backyard is large, but paved with large patio accents. There's something for pretty much everyone to like here (save for those who despise modern design).

GOOD FOR

Appreciators of modern design. This home has a great contemporary feel - open concept, custom Bulthaup kitchen, 5 bathrooms - but it doesn't feel cookie cutter. Some modern homes feel like a one unit condo. But this house has a style all of its own. Great for entertaining and day to day life too!

MOVE ON IF

You're west side-biased. This house has great proximity to lots of essentials - Withrow Park, transit, and plenty of shops on Danforth and Dundas. But if you don't go east of the DVP except to go to the Beaches, look elsewhere. Your loss - less competition for the rest of us! This one's almost sure to go over asking.
