As you step through the entrance, an expansive and serene family room welcomes you with its soaring ceilings, a bay window paying homage to the original architectural splendour, and the warmth of white oak floors. Towards the rear, the sunlit kitchen boasts Bauhaus-inspired industrial-sized windows and skylights, complemented by bespoke millwork. Enjoy a bar and dining area, complete with a built-in banquet. French doors off of the kitchen extend into a private backyard with convenient access to parking at the rear.
