293 Withrow Ave

There’s something about this stretch of Withrow that just feels different. Maybe it’s the canopy of mature trees or the quiet hum of kids biking in the dead-end street. Maybe it’s the way neighbours wave from their porches or how Withrow Park is only a few minutes away. Whatever it is, this part of Riverdale pulls you in—and 293 Withrow makes it easy to stay.

This semi-detached home is the kind of place that doesn’t shout for attention but leaves a lasting impression. From the flagstone path and modern privacy fence to the leafy front tree that gives just the right amount of shade, the curb appeal is simply inviting, exactly what you’d hope for in a home that fits so effortlessly into its neighbourhood.

Inside, the layout just works. The main floor is open but grounded, with clearly defined zones that make everyday life feel easy. The living and dining area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that brings warmth and focus to the space. It’s the kind of room that says yes to casual dinners with friends and early mornings with coffee and the dog curled at your feet.

The kitchen is bright and functional, featuring white cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and open shelving to keep the space feeling airy. It’s connected to the rest of the main floor but thoughtfully tucked just out of sight, with a peninsula that adds extra prep space and a clever passageway that makes the flow feel intuitive. A powder room on this level adds a layer of practicality that’s easy to overlook—until you’re living without one.

Up one level, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms and a full family bathroom. These aren’t afterthoughts—they’re real bedrooms with real storage and good natural light, which also fills the hallway—pouring in from a skylight above. Whether you need a nursery, a guest room, a kid’s space or a work-from-home setup, these rooms are ready to adapt.

At the top of the house, the third-floor primary suite delivers light and privacy. Built-in storage keeps things tidy, and the ensuite bathroom means no morning hallway traffic jams. Step through the sliding doors to the south-facing deck and you’ve got a spot for a slow coffee or a deep exhale at the end of the day. 

The finished basement adds even more flexibility, with full-height ceilings, a walk-out to the backyard, and room to carve out a family room, workout zone, guest area—or all three. Because the lot slopes gently downward, the lower level doesn’t feel like a basement at all—it feels like an extension of the main home.

Out back, the tiered deck and built-in pergola make outdoor living easy. There’s space to grill, host friends, or relax with a drink while the kids (or the dog) play on the grass below. It’s private, practical, and usable from the day you move in.

Street parking is available on Withrow and nearby side streets, and with transit, parks, and schools all within walking distance, the car may get less use than you’d think. You’re close to the Danforth, Gerrard, and the Pocket, and Withrow Park is just minutes away. Blake Street Public School is also an easy walk, adding even more appeal for families looking to stay close to what matters.

The current owners describe the vibe as “super good,”—and it’s easy to see why. The house is open and bright, with an intuitive layout and thoughtful details throughout. The community is warm and friendly. And the street itself? A true little pocket of calm and connection in the heart of Riverdale.

293 Withrow Ave is for those who know what really matters: light, layout, character, community, and location. If you’ve been waiting for the right feel in the right place, you might’ve just found it.
