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

Address: 41 Boswell Avenue
Neighbourhood: Annex
Agent: Isabel Beveridge and Daniel Lynch, Royal LePage/J & D Division, Brokerage
Price: $2,875,000

The Place: A three-bedroom Annex home that’s business in the front, party in the back.

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.
