The place

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom semi in Roncesvalles Village. The current owners bought this property in 2021 as a real estate investment and upgraded it immediately. It’s a short walk from Little Portugal to the east, High Park to the west, and TTC and GO lines to the north.

The tour 

The house has a small front lawn with room for a garden and a covered porch. 

In the foyer: marble floors and an arresting concrete accent wall. 

The owners tore down the hallway wall to create an open-concept space spanning the entire first floor. 

Here’s another view of the living area, which showcases the striking wood staircase.

The railings contrast the concrete.

A look at the dining area through to the kitchen.

The kitchen is equipped with new appliances, gold accents, a breakfast bar and plenty of storage.

There’s also a walkout to the backyard. 

The concrete-tiled backyard highlights the neighbourhood’s industrial roots. 

Here’s another look at the courtyard. That walkway leads to Silver Avenue. 

Moving upstairs reveals the main hallway, with more concrete, a glass railing and designer fixtures.

The main bedroom has new, large windows that overlook the street.

The second bedroom comes with a sliding-door closet. 

There’s also a nursery upstairs, which could be converted into office space. 

Down in the basement: another bathroom, a reading nook, exposed brick and an entertainment zone. 

Here’s that reading nook. It could also be used for storage.

The bathroom has marble floors, a glass shower and more storage.
