Some homes simply check boxes. Others become part of your family's story. For the past 12 years, 176 Barrington Avenue has been the backdrop for childhood adventures, summer dinners on the deck, morning coffee overlooking the gardens & neighbours who became friends. Tucked along a welcoming East York street, this detached two storey home offers something increasingly rare: room to grow, both inside & out. Step inside & you'll find thoughtful touches throughout, from the spacious front foyer with custom built storage to the bright living & dining space where hardwood floors, pot lights & custom built-ins create a warm & functional gathering place. At the rear of the home, the kitchen overlooks a remarkable 146 foot deep lot that feels worlds away from the city. Outside, mature gardens, sunny green space, flagstone pathways & a custom built treehouse create a backyard that's equal parts playground, sanctuary & gardener's paradise. Just beyond the kitchen, a bright office nook overlooking the yard offers the perfect work from home space, reading corner, or creative retreat. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a custom closet, while the second bedroom has been cleverly designed with a custom triple bunk setup for growing families. The finished basement extends the living space with a spacious recreation room & updated four piece bathroom. Lovingly maintained & thoughtfully improved, the home features updated plumbing, copper wiring, waterproofing & drainage improvements, a Mitsubishi heat pump system, updated windows, fresh paint, updated lighting & renovated bathrooms. Beyond your front door, enjoy Taylor Creek Park, nearby schools, parks, community centres, libraries, TTC, GO Transit & a strong sense of community that has made this neighbourhood a favourite for generations. A beautifully maintained family home with a backyard you'll never want to leave, a neighbourhood you'll be proud to call home & rare Garden Suite potential on a deep East York lot. Welcome Home.
