Families in search of a Rosedale location were drawn to this 2,616- square- foot residence. Listing agent Katie Rennie says house hunters commented about the ceiling height of the century home and agents loved it and immediately saw its potential. It was purchased by an agent for their own family.

Rennie says buyers appreciated the work that had been done and were “excited by the potential of doing their own kitchen and second- floor master renovations….the size is perfect for a family, with a layout that lends itself to the open-concept living that homeowners want right now. The house is ideally laid out to be a gathering spot for family and friends and has a perfect Christmas tree corner.”

The living room has a bay window and a fireplace. A staircase leads to a landing where there are leaded glass windows. The separate dining room can easily accommodate a table for 10. A space off the kitchen and dining room could be a breakfast area but the owners use it as a work space. It has sliding doors that open to the garden and deck.

“The deck is elevated above the garden and is a lovely place for morning coffee, to watch kids play or to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day,” Rennie says.

“The classic home has a third floor that was extensively renovated in a transitional style, including a bathroom and wide plank white oak flooring. The ( 903- square- foot) basement was completely renovated, including new on- demand hot water heater/boiler. Work was undertaken in 2016.”

The master suite occupies the whole second floor. There is a walk- in closet, a four- piece bathroom and an office. Rennie says, “The buyers have two kids so I can see that they will use the two bedrooms and bathrooms on the third floor for the kids, leaving the second floor as the master suite.”

The home is on a 25x150foot lot. “The 150- foot lot is a canvas for what could be a beautiful city garden. The location in the heart of Rosedale is second to none as it is a great family street around the corner from Rosedale Park,” Rennie says.
