Lawrence Park
73 Rochester Avenue
________________________________________
73 Rochester Avenue is a custom built home that was purposely designed to blend in with the traditional looking homes of Lawrence Park. This pretty center hall home is constructed with quality material and has been impeccably maintained. The front garden beds and mature trees border the interlock walkway that leads to the covered front porch. Step inside this beautiful red brick home and marvel at the transitional floor plan and finishes.
This true to the center hall design, the living room and dining room flank off the front foyer. Both these rooms embody more traditional features for formal entertaining. Each room offers privacy with a french door entryway, hardwood floors and a big bay window. The living room has a wood burning fireplace for warmth and the dining room has wainscotting walls and a butler's door to the kitchen.
The massive kitchen has been perfectly planned. Families will enjoy the large and dedicated breakfast area for everyday meals. The main prep area of the kitchen overlooks this casual dining space. Nestled off to the side is a main floor work space and open concept pantry area. Finished with granite countertops and integrated appliances, this kitchen is ready for those who love to cook. Off the breakfast area is a main floor family room. Natural light streams in from the south facing windows and the cozy fireplace is framed with built-in shelving.
Other than the front door, the main floor has two additional exit doors. From the breakfast room a sliding glass door leads to a huge flagstone entertainer’s patio and to the backyard inground pool and spa. There is also a side door to the house leading to the mud room. This space keeps the everyday clutter out of sight and has direct access to the attached garage. The single car garage has room for additional storage, but also has the ceiling height for the addition of a car lift. Finally, the main floor is complete with a perfectly positioned powder room.
Head up stairs to the sleeping quarters. The second floor consists of a primary suite, three additional bedrooms and a bright home office, that could also be used as a smaller bedroom or nursery.
The primary suite has a south facing view that overlooks the backyard greenery and pool. The bedroom offers His and Hers closet space, pot lights and a large 5-piece ensuite bathroom. The custom double vanity and the separate bathtub and shower allows two to get ready quickly in the morning.
The additional kids bedrooms are all an equal size with double closets. Two of the three bedrooms come with a built-in workspace for home work. These bedrooms all share the main 4-piece bathroom. Again, there is a custom vanity and separate bathtub and shower. The second floor office has a french door entry and the wall to wall windows offer a bright workspace.
The lower level of this home has high ceilings and provides a catch all space the whole family can enjoy. The recreation room is massive and the built-in entertainment unit grounds the space. Tucked to the back of this room is a wet bar and built-in workspace that anyone in the family can utilize. There is also a sizable bedroom for guests, this could also work as a nanny room. The laundry room is full sized and offers space for sorting and folding. There is also cabinetry in this room for additional storage. A 4-piece bathroom, hobby room and mechanical room finish for the lower level footprint.
The exterior finishes of this home are striking and blend in with the older homes of Lawrence Park. The solid red brick construction of the home is softened by the painted white window boxes, porch pillars and roofline moulding. The gardens have been meticulously cared for and offer lush greenery with pops of colour. The south-facing backyard is an urban oasis, surrounded by mature greenery. The flagstone patio offers space for outdoor dining and to lounge in the sun after a dip in the pool or spa. Parking is not a problem. The private driveway fits two cars and there is an attached single car garage where a lift could be installed for additional indoor parking.
