Off the living room, a flexible den offers the ideal set up for a home office, a guest room, or additional lounge space. Expansive front windows flood the home with light, while the rear deck enjoys sunny afternoon exposure. A full renovation in 2017 introduced a sleek, modern kitchen, updated bathrooms, and upgraded mechanicals.

Thoughtfully designed to evolve with your lifestyle, this home easily transitions from a comfortable work-from-home setup to a welcoming space for guests or a growing household. Enjoy cozy evenings by the fireplace in the winter, and sun-soaked afternoons on the back deck in warmer months. The location is exceptional. Indulge in some of the neighborhood's most loved spots including Floriole Cafe & Bakery, Sweet Mandy B's, Armitage Alehouse, Dimmi Dimmi, Homeslice, Avli Taverna, and Sushi-San, with new favorites always emerging nearby.

RT-4
Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District
The primary purpose of the RT districts is to accommodate detached houses, two-flats, townhouses and low-density, multi-unit residential buildings at a density and building scale that is compatible with RS districts. The districts are intended to be applied in areas characterized by a mix of housing types. The districts are also intended to provide a gradual transition between RS districts and higher density RM districts. The RT districts are differentiated primarily on the basis of allowed density (minimum lot area per unit) and floor area ratios.
