The place

A newish semi-detached home on a quiet one-way street near Spadina Road and Davenport, right where the Baldwin Steps lead to Casa Loma.

The history

The home was built in 2017 by the Burnac Corporation. It has a one-car garage, 10-foot ceilings and glass-lined staircases.

Here’s the living area:

The stager filled the room with some pretty intense artwork:

And there’s also a private balcony up here:

Big selling point

The kitchen patio has fences so high only the nosiest of neighbours would be able to catch a glimpse of the buyer’s comings and goings:

Possible deal breaker

The artwork doesn’t come with the home, so if the buyer wants to keep it they’ll have to get it all directly from the artists. Thrush Holmes made the neon pieces and Kim Dorland did the bright-red canvases. The lettuce photograph in the master bedroom is by Edward Burtynsky.

By the numbers

• $2,148,000 • $9,800 in taxes • 4 bathrooms • 3 bedrooms • 2 parking spaces
