The Details
Not Your Carriage-Era Coach House
Tucked discreetly off a leafy laneway in the heart of Leslieville proper, this architecturally unassuming turn-of-the-millennium coach house —originally constructed in 1999—reveals a striking yet humble private rear-lot residence. Behind its unassuming façade and dormered rooflines lies a mystery. A best-kept secret. A slice of the unexpected, shall we? The exterior nods to its carriage house roots while concealing a bright, modernized interior. Step inside and discover a reimagined space where volume, light, and minimalism take centre stage. Crisp white walls and lofty ceilings offer a gallery-like backdrop for a curated aesthetic and an “anything goes” approach. Equal parts showpiece and workhorse, the kitchen pulls double duty, wrapped in stone countertops and glossy custom cabinetry, accented by pendant lighting and polished steel finishes. A quiet Scandinavian style informs the open-concept living and dining, where its clean lines, glass enclosures, rich floors, large windows and cut-outs offer up something you don’t see on the daily! Upstairs, the primary bedroom evokes a boutique hotel retreat with its serene palette, walk-through closet, and access to a secluded treetop balcony. In addition, you’re bonus-ed with a studio-sized second bedroom, a huge four-piece bath with room to grow and a hallway overlooking the main floor, punctuated by four skylights and extra storage. And if that ain’t enough, we’ve stacked your first level with a private office (or guest bedroom), extra outdoor space, a powder room, front hallway closet and separate laundry off the kitchen. Still not sold? How about the built-in garages—perfect for your cars, your gear, your pottery, your art, your band… or even your in-laws. All the benefits of freehold living but without the “maintenance” (or those maintenance fees)! We cannot wait for you to take a whirl and to let us know what you think! Admittedly, we’ll have a hard time parting ways with this laneway legend…but hey, they say if you love something, set it free—right?
Your home should tell a story of who you are and be a collection of what you love.
