Green living on Wroxeter Ave. Riverdale
I just listed a house in Riverdale that I think is pretty great!
Located at 46 Wroxeter Ave. ( Pape and Danforth)
The exterior is Classic Riverdale Architecture and the location, steps to the Danforth and Withrow Park is ideal.
It’s a nice wide semi, on a very quiet dead-end street.
Open Concept main floor…large kitchen
Walk out through a mud room to a lovely low maintenance back garden
There is a 2 storey rear addition that was added by the current owner.
The house is really lovely! But there is something very special about this house…it’s current owner is an Award Winning Environmental Architect. In addition to the cosmetic elements that you can see…it’s what is ‘ behind the scenes’ that makes this house really amazing. It’s actually a Green House! I mean, it’s not just pretending to be green….it really is. The word green is a tad over used, and unfortunately I’m not clever enough to come up with a better term so you will have to trust me on this one!
The house uses solar heating. Evacuated tube solar hot water integrated into a zoned radiant floor and heating system. In addition, there is a tremendous amount of insulation. The gardens are planted with native species, and not surprisingly, they don’t require watering! There is a French drain, and a rain barrel to capture run off from the down spouts.
The basement, which has been dug down, features radiant heated floors….all thanks to Solar heating!
I’m hosting an Open House there this weekend June 5th and 6th. Come by and check it out…if you, or someone you know, is looking for the perfect house, that just happens to have the added bonus of being green tell them to come on by or call me on my cell 416 567 3425.
