The Place

A-four-bedroom, five-bathroom end townhouse on Avenue Road just south of St. Clair. The home comes with two terraces, an elevator, a wraparound staircase and private underground parking for two. Building amenities also include landscaping, shovelling and window-washing services. It’s within walking distance of Summerhill station (and its adjacent, castle-like LCBO) and Ramsden Park. And motorists are a short drive from both Davenport and the DVP.

The History

The current owners of this semi bought it almost 7 years ago during pre-construction, and have lived in it for the last two years. The place was designed by architect Richard Wengle and Gluckstein Design.
