The Place

A four-bedroom, four-bathroom house in Woodbine Corridor. Built from scratch, the home comes with a private garage and a finished basement that walks out to a backyard deck. It’s within walking distance of Little India, St. John’s Norway cemetery, several parks and various TTC routes. Motorists, meanwhile, are a short drive from both Kingston Road and Lake Shore.

The History

The current owners bought the house that once stood on this property as an investment, tore it down about four years ago and replaced it with this quirky detached.

The Tour

The pentagonal structure—lined with an eccentric shutter façade—sits on a leafy cul-de-sac, sheltered from the neighbourhood’s traffic.

Inside, the foyer splits off into the garage, a powder room and a glass staircase connecting the main floor to the basement.

Here’s that powder room, with a floating vanity.

Now for the kitchen, equipped with a counter-depth fridge, a coffee station and a waterfall island that flows into a breakfast bar.

Turn around and you’re in the living and dining space. Note the smart thermostat.

Moving upstairs reveals the office, nestled within the landing. The built-in displays are a nice touch.

This secondary bedroom, with a floor-to-ceiling window, sits on the opposite side of the wall.

The shared bathroom has a glass rainfall shower and honeycomb tiles. Nice yak.

Here’s the laundry room.

And here’s a peek inside another secondary bedroom.

As well as a look at its symmetrical counterpart.

The adjoining bathroom overlooks the neighbourhood and is complete with a three-foot sink.

On the third floor, a skylight illuminates the way to the main bedroom.

And here it is, with an idiosyncratic floor-to-ceiling window.

Another angle highlights the custom walk-in closet hiding in the wall.

The main ensuite is complete with a free-standing tub.

There’s also a rainfall shower and a double vanity here.

Here’s the basement, which comes equipped with a wet bar.

It also has French doors that walk out to the backyard.

Finally, here’s the view from the deck.
