French doors were replaced with windows on the south wall to match the existing opening of the other window. A new hot water rad replaced the one that stood in front of the window on the left. The original marble fireplace was moved to be the centrepiece of the room - it was updated with a gas...

The new kitchen was relocated to what was the dining room. A new door was added to access the second driveway, for easy access for groceries. An 11' eat island was created with seating along the entire one side, with large pantry cabinets that hide extra coat storage on one side.

Grandeur was restored to this beautiful home with contrasting floors, neutral historical wall colours and updated lighting.

The upstairs hallway was previously adorned in wallpaper. It was so large that any chandelier was dwarfed in the space. The new ceiling was drywalled and this custom Edison bulb chandelier that measured 5' x 7' was installed.

The master suite was entirely redesigned allowing for a large and luxurious master bathroom. Featuring a 2 person glass shower, marble topped french vanity and a separate water closet. Vanity lights were repurposed from old hallway lighting. Polished tile floor is heated. The exposed brick in the...

One of the 5 bedrooms in this house. This bedroom once accessible to a small underwhelming 3 pc bath, was revised to have a large double closet instead.

The new dining room - previously the cramped kitchen. The window was lowered (it had been raised to accommodate counters at one point. The original window trims were still behind the cabinets. Because of the size of the windows, transoms were added to make the operating portion of the windows more...

BEFORE - 'Master suite' with hall ways and little sleeping space, cramped bathroom and no closets.

BEFORE - The inside of the family room - dark with one window left uncovered, this room felt smaller than it was with this cabinetry flanking one wall. This wing of the house was commonly closed off in winter because it was so cold. Note the 'updated' wood burning fireplace with original marble...

BEFORE - Prior to the front renovation and painting, the windows are mismatched and date from different decades and in some cases - centuries. Dental shelf is rotten and the brick mossy green in places. Landscaping has taken over.

BEFORE - The formal living room facing south. The original french doors ice over in winter because they didn't close anymore. The floor was in good shape as it was covered in carpet for the past 60 years.
