Built in 1927, this all-brick semi-detached townhouse—home to an artist and a landscape designer—reflects a perfect harmony of creativity, sustainability, and timeless design. Bathed in natural light from three exposures and two skylights, the residence showcases elegant period details alongside thoughtful, eco-conscious updates, including discreetly integrated full coverage solar panels that enhance energy efficiency while preserving the home’s classic aesthetic. Inside, pristine original hardwood floors, high ceilings, mouldings, and recessed lighting create an inviting and refined atmosphere.

The turnkey vintage style kitchen—complete with modern stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet storage, a wet bar, and serene garden views—provides the perfect setting for both daily living and entertaining.

A second bedroom or creative studio space, and a sleek guest bath with a glass-enclosed shower completes the upper level. The spacious in-law suite offers excellent versatility, boasting a wall of windows, notable ceiling height, a full bath, abundant storage, and private exterior access—ideal for guests, a home office, or rental potential. Outdoor spaces reflect the owner’s professional touch as a landscape designer, with a lush pollinator garden, thoughtfully composed plantings, and multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining, including a welcoming front porch, rear deck, and stone patio. A fully detached one-car garage adds rare convenience in this coveted neighborhood.
