Welcome to Allen Avenue, a historic mews-like street steps to vibrant Queen East and a short jaunt to the Danforth. This is a sensational, truly “to the studs gut reno”, designed by Hilary Farr of Love It or List It, and flawlessly executed with impeccable workmanship. Like a brand new house in a Victorian shell, every inch of this home was replaced with quality modern finishes, right down to new joists. The main floor is incredibly bright with soaring 10’ ceilings and a stunning glass enclosed floating staircase.  The custom designed kitchen features breakfast bar with Caesarstone counters, deep Riveo farmhouse sink and thoughtfully organized wall of pantry cabinetry, as well as walk-out to private deck and parking at rear.  The second floor is drenched with sunlight from 2 skylights, has an elegant bath with heated floors, double sinks and oversize shower with marble floor tiles; the rear bedroom has his and hers closets and a walk-out to pine-board deck. All upper level doors were cleverly built with reclaimed wood from the original house.  The basement was dug down by close to two feet, has heated floors throughout and features a fantastic rec room with concealed storage that could easily make for a 3^rd bedroom with its own bath.   Whether you are looking for a loft-alternative, a maintenance free property or simply a fantastic space to call your own, this home is totally turn-key and ready for you to move in and enjoy.  

Offered at $739,000 we are open Saturday October 26th and Sunday October 27th.  Please stop by at 42 Allen Avenue between 2-4pm on either day or drop us a line for a private showing.
