A modern yet classic upstairs.

Upstairs features 3 bedrooms, easily converted into a home office, workout space or hobby room.  The primary bedroom is located at the rear of the house with a large east facing window, welcoming that morning sun all year round.  A beautiful, designer’s dream bathroom on the second floor with gorgeous herringbone tile, burnished gold fixtures with clean, elegant lines evokes an art deco vibe for the modern age.  The second bedroom overlooks the front of the house with a large west facing window, filling the room with late afternoon golden sun, the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and a good book.  With the entire home professionally redesigned and renovated, it’s clear that no corners were cut, and no expenses spared.  This is a home designed for comfortable, easy, stylish living.

Hello outdoor space – front or back?

The west facing front porch, offers a cozy and easy spot to unwind and enjoy the afternoon sun. Perch on this porch and admire the nicely updated homes and gardens along the street and just relax in the quiet of this lovely, low traffic west end neighbourhood.

A flat and nicely manicured private yard, in which every square inch is usable, awaits.  A large back deck extends off the rear of house, the perfect location to start your day with a morning coffee or finish your day with an evening cocktail in the summer.  Fancy a fire table or a BBQ?  You’ll find a gas line already installed on the deck. The professional design also extends to the yard.  The deck has a gorgeous, modern feature wall adding to the feeling of being in a luxury resort surrounded by gorgeous warm decking and plenty of space for hanging plants, potted plants, vines and even a bird feeder, why not?

Stroll around your new neighbourhood…

Located in quaint Upper Bloor West Village, a relaxed and quiet neighbourhood filled with young families. Living here will give you access to some of the the west end’s best neighbourhoods, notably Baby Point, The Junction and even the Humber River. 685 Durie St is close enough to the action, a 5-10 minutes walk to the Junction strip – boutique shopping, restaurants and bars, but far enough to be a quiet escape (more on those great options here!). If you’re looking for something closer to home, there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques to choose from on Annette Street and Jane street, literally at your doorstep.  One of our favourite coffee shops is the newly opened St. John’s Pantry, located right on St. John’s Rd.
