Neighbourhood Corktown

Features This brick, terraced row house was built in 1894 and with ornate and stained-glass details on the facade, is perfect for heritage home admirers. Brick mouldings, along with a steep-pitched roof, semicircular attic window and arched bay window highlight the Victorian-era characteristics of this home.

The entrance opens to well-painted mouldings, baseboards, exposed brick and high ceilings, while the main floor offers spacious living and dining rooms, an exposed brick-wall kitchen with a walkout to a back garden, and a powder room. The second floor features three bedrooms, including an ample primary bedroom, and a full bath.

The former owner painstakingly exposed the brick ..., which is a beautiful and warm feature," said Judy Marsales Real Estate salesperson Elizabeth Parker.

The finished third floor could function as an office, studio or den, and outdoors, there is a fully fenced, courtyard-style garden. The house is also next to an award-winning garden, with off-street parking at the back and permit parking at the front. It's a short walk from the Escarpment Rail Trail, Corktown Park, GO transit and James Street South shops and restaurants.

Why is it priced this way? According to Parker, the property's price is an example of how the market is now.

At this price it's a brilliant offer," she added.
