How does one build a house in Toronto for $1.4-million on two public servant’s salaries and not go broke in the process?
As recently as June, 2019, Google street view shows the comically small house that Katie Bryant, her husband, and their children, called home. While attractive, the wooden, doll-like house was just 12 feet wide on the 18 foot wide lot; also, it was pushed so far back, only a massive addition would’ve brought it in line with its neighbours and, more importantly, afforded this active family of four the space required to thrive and grow.
So, they decided to hire Ms. Clarkson to come up with feasibility studies, since they’d met during a tour of one of her projects duringand liked what they saw.
Up here, behind tall doors, one will find a bedroom for each girl , their bathroom, the laundry pair, and the primary bedroom and ensuite. Of note in this room is the full wall, built-in bookcase – complete with ladder – and cozy window seat to curl into once the right tome is chosen. All along, the Bryants planned for a bachelor-apartment-sized income suite in the basement to offset payments to their construction loan . The other parts of the basement, a family rec room and hubby’s new recording/rehearsal studio also allows for income-generation. During travel-heavy summers, perhaps the family could live down there when in town and rent the top two floors out.
