Tasteful Victorian elegance in the heart of Parkdale! Set on an impressive 25.8 x 163 ft lot, this beautifully restored and renovated detached home built in 1888 is filled with charm, character and generous living space. Its enchanting front porch, reclaimed from a century farmhouse, opens to a welcoming foyer and gracious principal rooms showcasing soaring ceilings, original wood mouldings, high baseboards, crown and cornice detailing, ceiling medallions and French doors with bevelled and leaded glass. The inviting living room centres around a rebuilt wood-burning fireplace with a cast-iron firebox, surrounded by Victorian ceramic tiles and a handsome pine mantel. A formal dining room, renovated powder room and updated kitchen with abundant cabinetry complete the main level. From the kitchen, walk out to a unique, covered reproduction of a 19th-century railway porch, overlooking a stone patio and beautifully landscaped backyard, an inviting setting for outdoor entertaining.
