The Space This 2-1/2 storey, four-bedroom house dates back to 1911 and is positioned on a deep lot with a four-tier backyard oasis. The owners had previously invested in a stunning second and third-floor renovation to install designer bathrooms, premium fixtures, custom built-ins, a guest room with Murphy bed, smart-device lighting controls and rain-sensing skylights. The most stand-out feature was the third floor’s “Shangri-la” master bedroom. Its five-piece ensuite with a walk-out terrace earned an award from the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s Ontario Chapter.
More by Design This home already had plenty of appealing attributes. But with many people starting to retreat to their homes due to COVID-19 threats, Kimberly Boot, Design & Client Care Manager at The Richards Group knew that prospective buyers were going to want as much finished living space as possible. So her design plan was to update the main floor’s kitchen and powder room and then finish the basement to create even more family space. This renovation and staging approach created a strong emotional connection with buyers as soon as they walked through the front door, which was key to maximizing the home's selling potential overall.
