Project Description

In the heart of the Annex lives this late 19th century semi-detached home. This transitional Admiral renovation celebrates the archetypal Toronto red brick with an understated Indiana Limestone rear addition and a landscaping refresh.


The interior design is where this home comes to life, featuring a sculptural staircase guardrail and marble mantles which celebrate existing wood burning fireplaces. Original solid wood wainscotting and stain glass windows provide a welcoming entryway and a light filled kitchen creates a seamless transition to the outdoors, perfect for hosting.


This home was designed to be a warm background for a growing family in the heart of the city.
