The details
A Lovely Gem of a Family Home Full of Charm & Character!
Sunlight streams over a generous back porch & garden into the south facing kitchen window & flows through an open main floor right to the front door. This comfortable classic is saying snuggle up at home now or customize me into a unique urban swooner. Original details & contemporary accents abound. Steps to Wychwood Barns, St. Clair W station, The Rushton, & unique STCW shops! Great neighbours and schools.
A rare and peaceful retreat with private backyard, lush gardens, and gorgeous light in a friendly, quiet (but fun!) family community.

The neighbourhood
The neighbourhood
Welcome to St. Clair Avenue West & Christie Street
There’s something enchanting about Wychwood thanks to the neighbourhood’s private enclave of character-filled Arts and Crafts-style homes nestled in a secluded ravine setting. This exclusive community was the first residential zone in Ontario to gain heritage status. Artscape Wychwood Barns, a former streetcar repair facility that’s now a community centre with artist spaces, sprouting gardens and a weekend farmers’ market, also typifies the area. The nearby transit line lets residents explore the shops and eateries on St. Clair Ave West, from The Stockyards to EcoExistence.
