The Details

Located in prime Cabbagetown, it is described in the New York Times as “the sanctuary of the largest collection of Victorian houses in North America.” This particular home, in a superb location, is one of the area’s finest examples.  The entrance is reached from a large, private front porch.  Featuring  10-foot moulded ceilings in the living room and over 9-foot moulded ceilings in the dining room, it has been painstakingly updated to retain its finest qualities. Another lovely feature is the lush, private patio garden. Easily accessible from the kitchen through patio doors, it is a delight for summer dining. The second floor master bedroom features a large, almost hidden, walk in closet as well as a complete wall of storage and renovated large marble ensuite that features a spacious walk-in shower, a luxurious tub and double sinks. The third floor hideaway with inviting sundeck is another retreat to be enjoyed. For those with real storage needs, there is a very large room on the lower level, which is a real surprise. Cabbagetown is a wonderful community, and one of its highlights is Riverdale Park, with access to the Lower Don Recreational Trail. The park is an expansive one, with sports playing fields, slopes for sledding and a wonderful place for dog walking and meeting fellow residents. It is also the home of “Riverdale Farm.”Markets, shops and restaurants abound.  Community spirit is on display in September during the Cabbagetown Fall Festival. The Cabbagetown Community Arts Centre has music, drama and dance programs for children. Public transit and easy access to the Bayview Extension and the Don Valley Parkway.  The downtown business core is a short distance away.
