Victorian Secret

Detached 3 storeys of restored glory, can no longer be a secret. Hello Euclid, goodbye heart. There aren’t enough characters allotted here (or adjectives) to describe this complete dream space. Original details (crown mouldings, ceiling medallions, 12” baseboards, fireplace – yes it works!) alongside sexy modern sensibilities: Thermador 6 burner range + warming drawer/microwave, SubZero fridge, library ladder for built-in shelves in dining area and 2 car garage with electric car charger. Practical main floor WC, 2nd floor kids bedroom ‘wing’ with huge family room/playroom/ possible extra bedroom. The final arrow in your heart is the jaw dropping 3rd floor suite with approx 14’ ceilings, built-in closets, ensuite “throne room” & walk out to private, sunny, city facing terrace. In case you’re looking for more reasons to stay up there, there is a cedar hot tub to enjoy year round. This is it everyone: actual downtown house nirvana. Drop everything you are doing right now and come see this today. This house rules!

Things to Love | Sellers’ Words

  • We love sitting on the balcony off the master bathroom after work with a glass of wine in the summer, watching the sunset and listening to the kids play in the park.
  • We love having a hot tub while watching the night skyline of the city.
  • We love waking in the master bedroom with the light of the sunrise across the deck filling the room.
  • We love getting a coffee from Sam James’ place around the corner on Harbord.
  • We love that it’s only a 10 minute walk to the Markham entrance of the Bathurst subway.
  • We love our friendly and caring neighbours.
  • We love cooking in our amazing kitchen.
  • We love that the 3rd floor is a home within a home, and a place to retreat to after a busy day.
  • We love having a fire in the living room fireplace on a snowy night.
  • We love our separate mudrooms, especially on wet and snowy days.
  • We love having a garage for all that stuff that can’t go anywhere else.
  • We love walking down to Bar Raval or Dailo for a drink and a snack after a busy day.
  • WE love that we can walk, cycle or easily take the subway or streetcar to anywhere we need to go downtown.
