The property

A renovated older home just south of Kingston Road in the Beaches.

The history

The sellers bought the house in 2012 and finished renovating it in 2016. Their changes included opening up the main floor, installing a new kitchen and bathrooms and digging out the basement. They also absorbed one of the original four bedrooms into a new, larger master suite. Now they’re moving to Ottawa for work, so the house has to go.

Here’s the living area:
