Beyond its understated street presence lies an extraordinary home that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Completely rebuilt to the studs in 2020, this one-of-a-kind residence has been masterfully redesigned with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and an exceptionally efficient floor plan that blends style with everyday comfort. The welcoming living room, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, flows seamlessly into the dining area and den, with French doors opening to a private west-facing patio—an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining. The primary bedroom offers a luxurious ensuite, while the second bedroom provides the flexibility to serve as a guest room, home office, or studio. Thoughtfully designed throughout, the home features expansive windows, a heat pump for year-round comfort, and quality finishes at every turn. A detached outbuilding in the large private yard provides the perfect space for a home office, creative workspace, or additional storage. Just steps from the waterfront and the vibrant shops and cafés of Cook Street Village, this exceptional property with extensive gardens offers the convenience of a low-maintenance lifestyle without strata fees or restrictions. A rare opportunity for those seeking a beautifully crafted home with a smaller footprint in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods.
