This oversized townhouse of over 3,350 square feet has un-rivaled dimensions of 19.5’ x 57.5’ on a 19.5’ x 100’ lot. In addition, it includes a fully finished basement of 550 square feet. The house consists of a massive light-filled 2,243 square foot upper duplex and a 1,123 square foot floor-through garden apartment with private access to the additional basement.

Off the back of the open concept chef kitchen is an art room leading to a private deck overlooking the back garden. The rest of the apartment boasts 4 oversized bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 11-foot high ceilings on the parlor floor and 10-foot high ceilings on the top floor. The garden floor apartment features 3 generous bedrooms, an open chef kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a very large living/dining room, private access to a 550 square feet south-facing garden and its own fully finished basement currently used as a music studio.
