Let’s Go To The Beach!

Primely situated near premium shops, restaurants, and countless sought-after amenities, this unique urban space thrives in Toronto’s unparalleled Beaches neighbourhood! Welcome to the charming intersection of Queen Street East and Hambly Avenue, where convenience seamlessly blends with local allure.

What will this connected, supportive community offer the new resident of 9 Hambly Avenue? Right at the end of the street is Gabby’s Bar & Grill, a local favourite for its cozy casual ambiance and diverse menu. Lace up your walking shoes, and get ready to complete all your weekly errands in one stroll! Just a few short blocks west on Queen Street, grab groceries at Foodland, pick up your favorite spirited bevvies at the LCBO, and find pharma and beauty essentials at Shoppers Drug Mart. Need a touch of sweetness in your day? Head east for gourmet coffee and delicious treats at one of our faves – Tori’s Bakeshop.  At the top of Hambly Avenue, the Beaches Recreation Centre awaits, providing top-notch facilities for fitness enthusiasts and joiners of rec sports.

For those with budding young families, this property falls into the catchment district of Williamson Road Junior Public School and Glen Ames Senior Public School, both of which are reputable and foster a vibrant educational community. If you are looking for a new good read, a chance to learn a new skill, or an afternoon of educational and fun activities for the whole family, the Beaches Branch of the Toronto Public Library is very close by. It’s your answer to those ‘Mom – I’m bored!’ complaints on rainy Saturday afternoons! Literary enthusiasts will also appreciate the nearby Coles bookstore, which offers a curated selection of literature for every taste.

For those who love the restorative qualities of nearby green space, there are a number of noteworthy choices nearby including Pantry Park. Closer still is expansive is Kew Gardens, boasting a classic 3-kilometer boardwalk along the sandy shores of Lake Ontario. Within its grounds, you’ll find the Kew Gardens bandshell (home to the Jazz Festival!), a wading pool/playground, and the Kew Gardens Tennis Club—all just a pleasant stroll away.

If the weather is good, a ten-minute walk will take you to 28-acre Woodbine Park, undoubtedly the most popular beach in Toronto. It’s known for being home to several festivals, tons of green space, leisure & activity offerings (including 100 beach volleyball courts), as well as a bountiful ecosystem – not to mention good quality sand and water that is certified swimmable! This is truly the ideal location for nature, water, and fitness lovers, as it’s also just a short stroll, bike, or blade away from another sanctuary – the Leslie Spit. Imagine – a location with accessible cardio cleansing, contemplation, and daydreaming just steps from your door! How fab is that?

Adding to the convenience of this primely situated property is its proximity to many public transportation options on nearby Queen Street East with streetcars and buses running regularly. And for those who have to hit the road, Woodbine south to Lake Shore Boulevard offers easy access to the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway. Live car free? There’s an Enterprise CarShare located steps away at Queen and Woodbine!

9 Hambly Avenue Is Sleek, Sunny, & Sublime!

From the moment you enter the private main floor foyer, appointed with a vintage transom window and exposed brick, you’ll be enveloped by the allure of heated floors that span the entirety of this meticulously crafted dwelling. The fusion of Scandinavian and Mid-Century Modern aesthetics is evident in every detail, from the clean lines to the thoughtful use of space, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and contemporary.

From the foyer, ascend the staircase to your new perfect perch! The second floor is home to a deliciously designed eat-in kitchen that is a masterpiece in itself; we adore the floor-to-ceiling windows and Juliette balcony that welcome the morning sun and infuse the space with warmth and light. Imagine yourself whipping up your latest culinary creation in this chef-calibre space that boasts stainless steel appliances and high-end fixtures, or perhaps lounging in a sun-dappled seat sipping your morning coffee! Feels pretty enchanting, right? Adjacent to the kitchen, a chic 3-piece bathroom with a sunny south-facing window is another convenient, elevated feature.

The cozy central living room beckons you to relax and unwind, showcasing a walkout to a private balcony that offers privacy and lush treetop views. Next to the living room, you’ll find the primary bedroom, graced by a delightful bay window facing the front yard, ready to frame the evening sunset.

Travel up the open stairs to the third-floor retreat, thoughtfully designed to draw in an abundance of natural light through unique architectural windows tucked in every room. Discover a  luxurious 4-piece bath with a double sink and shower, a convenient, stacked laundry closet and two additional bedrooms – perfect for a home office and your weekend guests.  The ample open den may indeed become your favourite spot to curl up with a book, but the pièce de résistance awaits just beyond! Every time you step out onto the sun-soaked rooftop terrace – surrounded by mature trees – will be a reminder of just how lucky you are to reside in this divine sanctuary!

This haven comes fully equipped with all the modern conveniences you’d expect in a space of this calibre: sparkling stainless steel appliances (fridge, dishwasher, gas stove, over-the-range microwave oven), stacked washer & dryer, and radiant heated floors throughout. Stay comfortable year-round with 4 air conditioning/heat pump units (2 per floor) and breathe easy with the heat recovery ventilation (HRV) fresh air system. Get this: an electric vehicle charger is also included for the environmentally conscious, sub-metered to the hydro utility. How neat is that? Parking at the back of the property is available at an additional $75 per space. (Please note these spaces are ideal for smaller cars, not for SUVs.)

This is it – an invitation to experience the best of beachside living, while ensconced in an architecturally stunning abode! Talk about a stellar stage on which to live your best life!
