The history
The selling agents anticipate that the new owners will renovate and update the decor of the home. But, for now, this house serves as a window into 1970s suburbia.Here’s a view of the home from the front. The porch was designed as a piazza with a working fountain as its focal point. There’s an attached garage with a long driveway that has room to park up to eight cars.
Here’s an adjoining dining room with that same blue splash. This space wasn’t sunken from the kitchen to make it easier to carry dishes from one room to the other.Outside the kitchen is a sunken family room featuring Mediterranean-style arched openings with wrought-iron barriers. Here’s a view over the main entrance from the second floor. The home’s original plan had another bedroom in this space, but the family decided they didn’t need it, so they ditched it to add more light. The stained glass windows were custom-made by an artisan in Toronto’s west end.
