13 Foundry Avenue 142

Some of the best days here start with leaving the car keys at home. Walk to Balzac's for coffee in the old Foundry powerhouse, let the kids linger at the Earlscourt Park playground and pick up groceries on the way back. Take the bikes out to the West Toronto Railpath or wander up to St. Clair West for dinner in Corso Italia. Before long, you'll have your favourite bakery, the park bench you always end up on and a route home that takes a little longer because the kids want to see if their friends are still at the playground. On Monday morning, the Lansdowne bus is close by for a connection to the Bloor subway. Back home at 13 Foundry, the park-facing terrace is where "come by for a drink" turns into "stay for dinner." Pull up another chair, order a pizza and let the evening run a little longer. Inside, this well-kept 2+1 bedroom corner townhouse is one of the few with windows in the den. Make it your work-from-home spot, a playroom or a quiet corner for homework. The kitchen has granite countertops, and the main-floor bathroom was renovated in 2023. One parking space and one locker are included, so there's a spot for the car and somewhere to put the stuff you don't need every day. And after a week of everyone going in different directions, there's room to get back around the table and hear the whole story about what happened at recess.
