The place 

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom rental on the top two stories of an Annex row house, complete with its own HVAC system and private parking spot. It also comes with brand new appliances and hardwood floors. Sandwiched between Spadina and Bathurst just south of Dupont, the place is within walking distance of Dupont station, Casa Loma and George Brown College. And motorists are a short drive from Davenport and Avenue.

The history

The owners renovated this house in 2015. They lived in it for about three years before finding more space in another neighbourhood. So they converted their place into a family-friendly rental.

The tour

The front porch overlooks the typically verdant Annex street—a peaceful spot for a morning coffee.

This unit starts on the second storey and has hardwood flooring throughout.

A reverse angle highlights the living space and its three-panelled bay window with a view of the neighbourhood.

Beyond the living area is the kitchen, equipped with pendant lighting and a quartz island with a built-in microwave.

It also comes with new stainless steel appliances, California-style storage, a subway-tiled backsplash and an electric cooktop.

Behind the kitchen is the first washroom, with a glass-encased rainfall shower.

This secondary bedroom sits at the rear of the home and faces west.

There’s also a new LG stacked washer-dryer hiding in the hallway closet.

Now for upstairs. The main bedroom has cathedral ceilings, a street view and a walk-in closet (not pictured).

Here’s the second bathroom. It has a double vanity, marble floors, built-in storage and another rainfall shower.

The third bedroom could be set up as an office.

Also on the top floor: a private deck for drinks with friends or alfresco dining.

Finally, the mini patio and parking spot out back.
