A modernized bay-and-gable house in the centre of the city, near Harbord and Bathurst—close enough to walk to U of T, Kensington Market, the Annex and Koreatown.
The home, originally built in the 1880s, was owned by the same person for nearly 50 years before being sold in early 2017. The new owners, 3gen Development, completely redid the interior. They also removed the back of the house and installed some large windows.
The living room has a fireplace. The floors are engineered white oak:
The kitchen has black granite countertops and a marble island:
Here’s the master bedroom:
The master ensuite has sleek Aquabrass fixtures:
Here’s one of the other bedrooms:
And the view from the rear:
