If you've been hunting for a west-end address to lay roots at with your family, 92 Montrose Avenue should be on your radar.
This baby blue 3-bed, 3-bath abode just hit the market in the Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood, and it checks the boxes of an ideal family home.
The address -- which was once a grocery store and continues to boast historical charm -- is just steps from Trinity Bellwoods Park in one direction and Fred Hamilton Playground in another. There's also a host of options for schooling (public, private, and Catholic) and sport nearby.
Whether you're into tennis, the kids play baseball, or you're seeking a family membership at the YMCA, one of the activities within walking distance of this home is sure to speak to you.
And that's just from the recreational perspective. If you're into food (who isn't?), Italian dishes aplenty can be found along College Street, and the Ossington Strip boasts a wide assortment of elevated fare. Small-owned shopping along Dundas West is unmatched, for those who love to support local. And, with venues like The Axis Club and Revival just up the road, it will be easy to slip away for a concert or night of dancing once the kids have gone to bed.
Where the home itself is concerned, you'll be charmed, we're sure. The front door opens into a warm entryway and open-concept living and dining area, with hardwood floors to swoon over. Ideal for guests, the powder room -- a sought-after (not to mention useful) feature -- makes a quick freshening up upon arrival easy.
The bright and spacious ground-floor layout includes an airy kitchen, complete with a cozy breakfast nook. This space provides some privacy for the home's "chef" to savour while dinner's on the stove, but still welcomes conversation flow from one room to the next -- perfect for after-work and -school connecting, as well as for entertaining.

Upstairs, three large bedrooms invite moments of respite in the evening (or morning) hours. Built-in closets make for simple storage of clothes, yes, but books and toys as well. This home boasts three bathrooms, too -- all the better for a family unit.
Finally, the outdoor space here is the stuff of dreams. Off the basement is a walkout to the manicured garden, complete with large patio stones and a cozy feel. Already, we're enamored. But it's the second-storey patio that brings this space to the next level.
Our Favorite Thing
What's better than one level of outdoor space? Two levels of outdoor space, of course. In addition to the sizable back garden, a staircase leads to an upper-level patio that practically doubles the home's sunniest square-footage. Decked out (excuse us) with patio furniture, this will be the perfect place for al fresco lunches in the summer, with neighbourhood views all around.
Finally, the property comes complete with a large two-car detached garage with laneway housing potential, opening the door to an even greater ROI than a Trinity Bellwoods lifestyle already brings. And beyond all this neighbourhood has to offer -- including swoon-worthy socials in the laneway! -- TTC stops along College, Dundas, and Ossington offer access to further urban pastures, for whenever adventure calls.
Don't let yourself forget -- or regret [not acting on] -- the special love you could have for this baby blue.
