House of the Week: $2.9 million for a heritage Annex home with a decidedly un-heritage interior

Bragging Rights: This home, a heritage property overhauled by local design firm Superkül, attempts to harmonize a contemporary interior with a historical facade.

Big Selling Point: From the street, the home looks like a tiny 19th-century cottage. The interior, meanwhile, is surprisingly spacious, with open-concept rooms and contemporary woodwork that seems bound to please potential buyers.

Possible Deal Breaker: The selling agents believe this property’s unique mix of old and new has left some buyers confused. It has been on the market since February.

By The Numbers:

• $2,875,000 • $12,872 in property taxes (2014) • 4 washrooms • 3 bedrooms • 3 levels • 2 skylights • 2 gas fireplaces • 1 finished basement • 1 heritage designation • 1 parking space
