The place
A sleek new detached home, located near Grant Van Gameren’s Parkdale hotspot Tennessee and close to Roncesvalles.

The kitchen has 20-foot ceilings:
There’s a gas fireplace in the living room:
Big selling point
The master bedroom is a dreamy loft alternative, with an exposed brick wall, a dressing area (complete with enough shoe cubbies for even the most devoted shopaholics) and a walkout to a balcony with a view of the backyard.

Possible deal breaker
The third-floor master bath has on-trend black-trimmed windows, a large soaker tub, a dual sink vanity and—oh yeah—a view of Sorauren Avenue below.
