There’s something about a fully restored and renovated old Victorian house that just hits.
They have the charm, the character, but also those modern design elements that create that juxtaposition that is hard to resist.
And if one house is hard to resist, it’s 14 Delaware Ave.
The wood-burning fireplace in the living room.
This detached home in Little Italy is the perfect mix of architectural detail and great modern design.
The main floor.
The main floor is open-concept, making it great for entertaining and family living.
The foyer.
The living room has soaring ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with exposed brick and stained glass windows to boot.
The dining room.
The dining room flows from that.
The kitchen.
And then you get to the kitchen with high-end appliances and a large island.
The family room.
The family room, which looks out over the backyard, has a gas fireplace but is a bit on the small side.
The powder room.
And the best part of the main floor is the whimsical powder room with a dog portrait wallpaper.
A bedroom.
The house boasts three bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The primary bedroom.
Two of the bedrooms are pretty standard, but the primary bedroom is something special.
The dressing room.
With cathedral ceilings, it features a third-floor loft area where there’s a dressing room.
The primary ensuite bathroom.
It also, of course, has a five-piece “spa-like” ensuite bathroom.
The family room in the basement.
There’s more living space in the basement, with a family room, guest bedroom and bathroom.
The backyard.
As for outdoor space, the backyard is surprisingly spacious for an inner-city home.
The deck.
The pictures show the garden under a blanket of snow, but there’s a covered deck with lighting and a large storage shed at the back.
The view of the backyard from the second storey.
14 Delaware Ave. is listed for $2,695,000, which, fun fact; is basically double what it sold for in 2012. Ah, Toronto real estate. Don’t you love it?
