The Details

Nestled in the historic Cabbagetown community, this sought-after Victorian semi amazes from its professionally landscaped gardens to its character-rich interior. Situated on a corner lot, the gardens stun with lush greenery and a timeless brick herringbone walkway that leads to both the front entrance and the enclosed backyard beyond.

Stepping through the gorgeous vintage door guides you to an open-concept living and dining room with soaring nine-foot ceilings and preserved crown moulding that can be seen throughout the main floor. At the forefront of the residence, the living room impresses with its tall bay windows that provide the perfect space for relaxation and an ideal reading nook.

A fabulous space to entertain family and guests showcasing built-in cabinetry with open shelving and a central wood-burning fireplace. In truly fine form, the elegant detailing elevates the entire space, from the custom window drapery to the designer lighting.

Moving into the galley kitchen that opens to the family room, modern upgrades can be appreciated such as classic white subway tile backsplash and custom cabinetry with pull-out pantry and soft-close shelving. The under-cabinet lighting enhances the space, casting a warm and cozy glow over the modern concrete counters.

A convenient side door entrance leads to the most charming covered deck, which acts as the main entry point for daily comings and goings. Back inside, passing through French doors, the family room offers an abundance of natural light from two large windows and a sliding patio door to the meticulously designed backyard.

Ascending to the second floor, your path is illuminated by a welcoming skylight at the top of the stairwell. This floor boasts two bedrooms, an inviting office space, and two incredibly beautiful bathrooms.

The four-piece primary bathroom is a stunning example of thoughtful design, boasting heated floors, a large glass-enclosed shower with an adjustable top panel for ventilation, freestanding bathtub, and elegant vanity lights. As you continue down the hall, a three-piece family bathroom displays beautifully with a large glass-enclosed shower and a window overlooking the sunroom addition.

The nearby second bedroom boasts hardwood flooring, double closets with organizers, and two generous windows that overlook the side garden and neighbourhood. The lower level of the home is completely finished and spans a considerable area that makes an ideal living space for family and guests.
