Tucked away on one of Riverview Park's best-kept secrets, this exceptional Abbey Road residence offers something increasingly difficult to find: a beautifully reimagined home on a quiet, tree-canopied crescent, just minutes from downtown.
With virtually no through traffic, Dale Park only doors away and neighbours who tend to stay for decades, this is the kind of street people discover — and don't want to leave.
The home itself is every bit as special. Completely renovated from top to bottom, it has been thoughtfully redesigned to overcome the compromises typically associated with homes of this era. A cleverly conceived addition didn't simply add space — it transformed the way the home lives.
There is now a proper, welcoming front entrance with room to arrive, a full closet and excellent storage; a main-floor powder room and laundry; and, upstairs, something rarely found in the original homes of the neighbourhood — a true primary suite.
The bright, open-concept main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. At its heart is a stunning kitchen with seemingly endless quartz counters, abundant cabinetry and an oversized island where everyone will inevitably gather. Double French doors open directly to an impressive 472 sq. ft. deck, creating a natural extension of the living space into the private, fully fenced backyard.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels like a retreat, with extensive custom built-in cabinetry and closets and a spectacular ensuite. The oversized double walk-in shower is particularly memorable, with high-set rectangular windows allowing the morning light to stream in while maintaining complete privacy. It is thoughtful, beautiful design that turns an everyday routine into a small luxury. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor, while the finished basement adds valuable flexible living space.
Outside, this home continues to separate itself from the pack. Extensive hard landscaping, mature trees and a private yard create a wonderful outdoor setting, while the detached garage with electrical service is an extraordinary find here. The interlock parking accommodates four vehicles before the gate, with an additional two secure parking spots beyond the gate — ideal for a collector car, motorcycle, workshop or simply the storage and flexibility most urban homes cannot offer.
And then there is Abbey Road itself. Quiet and remarkably convenient, with easy access to the 417 and Riverside Drive, nearby hospitals and schools, transit and LRT, cycling connections and downtown just minutes away. Yet arrive home, and the mature tree canopy, peaceful crescent and neighbourhood park make the city feel remarkably far away.
This isn't simply a beautifully renovated older home. It is a home that has been carefully considered, intelligently redesigned and exceptionally well executed for modern life.
They didn't just renovate it. They solved it.
