Set on a lush 60 x 144-foot lot, this century home offers serenity with the lively rhythm of its surroundings. The Civic Centre is one of the city’s most beloved urban communities, a neighbourhood thoughtfully preserved by the Heritage Plan. The streets are lined with mature trees and single detached homes, ensuring a streetscape that will remain spacious and picturesque for years to come. A solid double-brick exterior with subtle brick detailing around the windows, delicate woodwork at the roofline, offers architecture beyond the ordinary. Artists have lived and worked here, leaving their mark in ways both visible and intangible. The garden features a striking installation by Nicholas Rees, a sculptural reminder that inspiration can be part of everyday life. Even the garage has been transformed into extra studio space, offering yet another place for imagination to unfold. Inside, the main floor is airy and inviting. Soaring ceilings and original hardwood floors create a sense of openness, while large principal rooms elevate the space. This level includes 3 bedrooms, and two charming porches—perfect nooks to sip tea, sketch ideas, or simply pause for a moment of calm. The second level is reached through a covered balcony, a spot affectionately known as the “tree-top studio.” Here, natural light fills every corner of the space. With 3 additional bedrooms and a sun-drenched den, the upper level feels both private and inspiring, like a retreat within the city. For those who crave a home that nurtures creativity while offering practical peace of mind, this property is a rare find. It comes with updated vinyl windows, an updated roof, and a brand-new furnace—sized to support an additional 500 sq. ft. should you choose to expand. This is a legal non-conforming duplex, a blank canvas waiting for your personal touch, a heritage home in one of the city’s most culturally rich neighbourhoods, and a place where history, artistry, and possibility converge.
