The house announces itself the moment you step inside. Period features have been honoured, not erased. The high ceilings that define the best Victorian homes in the West End are fully intact, giving the main floor a sense of scale that newer builds simply cannot replicate. Herringbone white oak floors run the full length of the space, anchored by a sculptural staircase with a marble landing step and a curved plaster newel post that stops people in their tracks. 

An arched doorway carries through from entry to kitchen and beyond, creating a visual rhythm that feels intentional rather than decorative. 

Two beautifully proportioned bedrooms, both finished with the same quiet confidence as the rest of the house. The primary bedroom features the original bay window, now dressed with floor-length linen drapery and flanked by beautiful wall sconces. Antique solid brass hardware on every door and closet. Nothing generic about any of it. 

The third space on the upper level is exactly what a well-designed home should offer: a proper workspace by day and a relaxed lounge by night. A sculptural terrazzo-topped desk anchors the room beneath a pair of matte black pendant lights. It is the kind of space that makes you wonder why you ever settled for a dedicated spare room. 

A private, fully fenced urban backyard with room for a proper outdoor table, a BBQ, and a genuine sense of retreat. Not a token patch of green, but a space designed to be used. Behind it, via the laneway, a large single-car garage that offers plenty of space for storage and comfortably fits an SUV.

Outdoor space and secure parking, in one of the most desirable West End pockets, at this level of finish. That combination is worth paying attention to.
