About this Townhouse

in South Riverdale, Toronto

Our truest on Lewis. Built in 1899. 12.57 x 135 feet. Two storeys. Three levels. And refreshingly, none of it is trying too hard. A Leslieville row house that understands proportion is about feel, not footprint. The main floor runs straight through, front to back. No breaks. No awkward turns. Just clean sightlines that pull you from the living room, past a properly scaled dining space, into a full-width white & bright galley kitchen. There's room for a centre island if you choose, but its layout already knows what it's doing! The ceilings measure at 9'6", quietly doing the home's real talking. More light. More air. Less effort. A hint of exposed brick runs vertically through the main floor space, a reminder that this house has a history and no intention of hiding it. Out back, the kitchen opens to a deck that reads as an extension, not a token gesture. Long. Linear. Ready for what comes next. We are thinking of easy entertaining. A garden. Maybe even a fluffy little puppy? And the second storey is simple & intentionally quiet. Two bedrooms with real dimensions, including a primary that fits a king bed without compromise. The second bedroom stretches long and flexibly, equally suited to sleep, work, or both. A four-piece bath sits exactly where it should be, clean, efficient and centred. With some simple millwork, wainscoting you can tackle yourself, a mural moment, and the right tile, this second floor will prove you won't need deep pockets to make a statement. The lower level does not apologize for itself. A proper recreation room works as a media space or home office, and a separate store space at the rear adds optionality for whatever comes next. Plus, a two-piece bath and a clearly defined utility area keep things simple, practical, and unfussy below grade. Lastly, a front porch for your future neighbourhood watch. Easy to elevate with a classic black awning, planters, and a few hanging baskets once Spring finally gets the memo....[Cont'd]
