The living room is the space you'll never want to leave vaulted two-storey ceilings, huge skylights, and built-in bookcases that stretch 10 ft high. Across the way, the kitchen has a stunning floor-to-ceiling factory-style window that lets in tons of light. There's in-floor heating under penny tile & a w/out to the side deck, w/ a gas BBQ hookup for summer grilling. The open dining area is great for hosting. Windows overlook the porch, & beams overhead create the perfect blend of rustic and cozy. Upstairs, the loft-style primary bdrm has another wood-burning fireplace and two b/i window seats- perfect for curling up w/ a book or enjoying a morning coffee while taking in the south-facing views over Cabbagetown & even the CN Tower. The second bedrm is airy, tucked up in the treetops. Downstairs, the finished basement has great ceiling height, heated floors, and a w/out to the backyard- a rare find in Toronto. There's also a second bath, laundry, b/in shelving, & tons of smart storage. Whether you need space for a home office, workout area, or a cozy family room, it's ready for whatever you need.
