Welcome to 88 Asquith Avenue! This stunning red brick Victorian home is located in a beautifully tucked away location minutes away from South Rosedale, Yonge and Bloor Transit, Yorkville and surrounds. With a walk score of 95, enjoy a short walk to luxury shopping, upscale dining and excellent schools. There are numerous parks, ravines and trails nearby. Nestled amongst a similar row of Victorian townhouses built Circa 1890 for overseas academics teaching at the University of Toronto, this comfortable city home has been lovingly restored by the present owner. It is a pleasing mix of the original architectural features with updated mechanicals, windows, flooring and stunning bathrooms and kitchens. There is front pad parking for one midsize vehicle and a delightful rear garden, artfully landscaped with perennials and shrubs for colour throughout the growing season. There are two recent terraces, one on grade at the rear and a second on the 3rd floor with long sight-lines of all the neighbouring abutting gardens.

This open concept semi-detached home has excellent ceiling height with incredible natural light that streams from front to back. Renovations include bespoke finishes, expensive Scavolini kitchens and bathrooms, hardwood flooring, quality windows throughout, luxury appliances, two fireplaces - one gas and one wood burning. Throughout the house there is a blending of traditional and Victorian details with sleek contemporary finishes in kitchens and bathrooms.

The Lower Level was completely gutted wall to wall, ceiling to floor, and is currently used as an office suite with two offices and a full bathroom. One of the offices could easily be used as a bedroom. The basement has R22 insulation in the external walls, new laminate floor covering and new concrete floors.
