ABOUT THIS PROPERTY

Step into this impeccably restored and sublimely renovated 1890 Victorian masterpiece and you will feel like you have entered the chicest boutique hotel imaginable. Martha Stewart understated lifestyle meets Restoration Hardware ease of living. Beyond chic.  Beyond sophisticated.  This grand dame Victorian property stands proud and gracious with a complete brick restoration of its front exterior façade and beautiful period reproduction Thermopane windows. High-end top-drawer finishes marry seamlessly with preserved heritage elements, including original arches with corbels, stained glass, swan-themed etched glass, refined crown mouldings, intricate ceiling medallions, classic hardwood flooring, and an inviting original grand staircase.

You have never seen a main floor layout in Cabbagetown that is quite this large or exquisitely proportioned. Divided into two distinct areas, the front reveals a formal living and dining room designed for elegant entertaining. Toward the back, the residence unfolds into an extraordinary open-concept space featuring a comfortable family room, an oversized breakfast room, and a cook’s dream kitchen by Bellini (with honed marble countertops, a centre island, and a built-in Thermador wine tower fridge). A massive wall of glass frames views of the peaceful back courtyard terrace, flooding the interior with natural sunlight. A functional mudroom (easily accommodates a laundry area) leads directly to a convenient powder room. The décor is cultured, very pretty, and absolutely sensational.

If the main floor doesn’t take your breath away, the second-floor dream primary suite will.  You will never see this hotel-like space anywhere else like this in Cabbagetown. It boasts opulent custom built-in wardrobes for those who love clothing, and a spectacular five-piece marble-clad bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a full main bathroom complete this floor. Ascending to the third floor, charming dormer rooflines frame a versatile layout that includes a fourth bedroom, a dedicated home office, and an updated three-piece bathroom. Glass doors walk out directly to a massive rooftop terrace, providing a secluded outdoor vantage point in the heart of the city.

The beautiful living space continues down to the lower level, where a recent $150,000 renovation lowered the floor to deliver remarkable ceiling height throughout a fully finished recreation room. Laundry, storage, and an area for a future bathroom.

At the rear of the property, you will adore the most charming garage ever, complete with loft storage above, looking just like a heritage coach house.

Boasting a 95 Walk Score, you are just south of Carlton and just west of Parliament. Daniel et Daniel gourmet food store is a stone’s throw away. Fabulous restaurants, gastro-pubs, indie coffee houses are literally steps away. And the streetcar will zip you to the subway in no time.  Park your car.  This is urban living at its finest.
