House of the Week: $1.4 million to live in a Cabbagetown laneway
Address: 7 Millington Street
Neighbourhood: Cabbagetown-South St. Jamestown
Agent: Richard Silver, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, Brokerage
Price: $1,399,000
The Place: A completely upgraded, contemporary laneway home in Cabbagetown.
Bragging Rights: Laneway houses are prized properties, and this one, with its clean and modern look, doesn’t disappoint. It gets tons of natural light from an inner courtyard, and also from a large glass atrium over the staircase.
Big Selling Point: There are only two bedrooms, so the interior isn’t particularly spacious, but the kitchen somehow feels huge. It has stainless countertops, a double Viking stove and an integrated Sub-Zero fridge.
Possible Deal Breaker: As tends to be the case with laneway houses, this one doesn’t come with on-site parking. A two-year rental on a two-car garage nearby is included in the price.
By The Numbers:
• $1,399,000 • $7,884.41 in property taxes (2014) • 2,472 square feet • 2 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms • 2-year rental on a two-car garage • 1 gas fireplace • 1 inner courtyard • 1 rooftop terrace • 1 atrium skylight
