Hip Historic Home in the Heart of Toronto - 14 days to 1 year availability

Description

Our historic home is truly unique. Originally built as a public gathering hall in the 1870's, we completely renovated in 2015 to uncover the original soaring 13 foot ceilings, beautiful pine floors and wonderful natural light. We collect art and have curated vintage mid-century furnishings. With two generously sized bedrooms, we are well set up for adults or small families. The space The main floor of our home is open concept, with high ceilings and lots of great light. You'll find a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable living room, record player and TV with Chromecast. Access to our adorable fenced in backyard, perfect for dining al fresco. Upstairs, there are two generously sized bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed and a twin bed. There's also a bathroom with a shower and our hallway library on the second floor. Guests have access to the entire home and backyard, including an semi-finished basement with laundry. Note that a portion of the basement is also used to store our personal items. Location We are located in an up-and-coming neighbourhood bordering the Junction in Toronto. Dupont Street, just a few blocks south of us, was recently named the new "it" neighbourhood by the Globe and Mail newspaper, with shops, restaurants, and a thriving tech scene in the building at the end of our street. We are on a major bus route and a 15 minute walk to the Union Pearson Express train which will take you downtown or to the airport in only two stops. We're a 25 minute bike ride, mostly in a bike lane, to U of T and TMU. There are several lovely parks nearby which are great for kids and adults alike, and a public swimming pool a short walk away.
