Features

This north of Fourth Avenue townhome has 1900 sq feet of captivating spaces that all share the uncompromising quality and imagination of this outstanding renovation. A wonderful water garden leads you to the front veranda where once inside you can greet guests in a cosy den with a bright bay window and a wood burning fireplace. You then ascend the dramatic staircase with period stained glass windows and arrive at the main living zones.

There is an open plan kitchen with custom cabinetry, concrete counters that are coupled with classic Heartland appliances and a convenient bbq balcony. The adjacent dining area caters to fun social events or quiet breakfasts in the morning sun. The 18x12 living room can accommodate the largest of media equipment without destroying the ambiance of historic reminders meeting youthful twists. There are two bedrooms, of which one is larger, (could certainly be a master) and that leads directly to an ample south west deck. The luxurious bath showcases custom wainscoting and a brilliantly restored period claw foot tub. The present owners are using the upper floor as a master retreat as there is such an airy feeling, it has two more balconies and a skylit bathroom with a huge rainforest shower. You can better appreciate the westerly vistas and English Bay vantage points from this level.

Being perched high on Trafalgar Street with a rare east to west exposure allows for private outlooks and/or sunshine throughout. If three bedrooms and a den are not enough, there is an another 300 sq ft of space that is accessed through a separate entrance off the mature front garden. Offering lots of natural light this area could be considered perfect for any home-based business that could otherwise intrude on personal lives.
