The history

The house was renovated down to the studs by the Mazenga Building Group in 2015 (they also had a hand in Crossfit YKV at Av and Dav, Los Colibris restaurant and the King West Bier Markt).

Big selling point

The master suite, which is just over 600 square feet, has a private balcony overlooking the backyard, a spacious ensuite bathroom (complete with automatic blackout roller blinds), a custom dressing room, built-in speakers and lofty 10-foot ceilings.

Here’s the sleeping area:

Possible deal breaker

Those sleek floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the dining room let in a lot of light—but also, neighbouring eyes. Though the bushes out front offer some coverage, shy diners will probably want to leave the automatic roller blinds in the down position while eating:
