Description
This splendid two-storey midtown home, with its extravagant gardens thick with backlit fern and hollyhocks the colour of rhubarb, as well as its detached workshop (to me it screams in-law or secondary suite) and its terra cotta tile, its added sunroom, its stone hearth above the wood stove and the oak floors, its skylights and hangout spots, its gracious archways and its kitchen full of pot-hangers and acres of countertop, a full-on lounge, is unlike anything you were daring to hope for this season. It is, in all the important ways, better than what has come before. There are two bedrooms, but until recently there were three, and a weekends work would make it that way again. There is a bathroom on each level. A walk-in pantry with laundry hook-up. The basement is set up for unexpected drop-ins, with a separate sleeping area. There is even (and this is a weird place to end, I realize) a vestibule up front in which to scan the mail for anything important and to kick off the work shoes.
