The place

A three-bed, four-bath semi in Little Italy. Out front, it’s got an original Victorian red-brick façade and a pleasant little front porch. The recently renovated interior is three storeys, with an accessibility-friendly elevator that services each floor.

The history
Built at the turn of the 19th century, a couple of real estate agents purchased this place in 2019, for $1.4 million. They preserved the original character of the façade, but spent more than $1 million renovating the interior and backyard, with the help of Toronto-based design company Ancerl Studio. Ancerl opened up the main floor to create a grand entertainment space and added a private walk-out deck to the top floor. At the back of the house, they removed the original brick and replaced it with aluminum siding and glass. After renovations were completed, in August 2020, the owners moved in. They recently purchased another Victorian in Leslieville.
