There are homes you tour - and then there are homes that speak to you. Nestled on one of Parkdale's most beloved, tree-lined streets, this enchanting 2.5-storey Victorian home is a rare blend of timeless charm and curated modern elegance. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by the romance of a bygone era - soaring ceilings, original stained glass, antique doorknobs, intricate millwork and tall baseboards whispering stories of the past. Yet, step inside, and the narrative evolves: a thoughtful open-concept layout, a remodelled kitchen with custom built-ins and a gas stove, a cozy living room with a gas fireplace and bay window and a main floor powder room - all designed for contemporary living. The second level is home to two gracious bedrooms alongside a sun-drenched bonus room that opens to a private deck. A generous walk-in linen/storage closet, roughed-in for second-floor laundry, offers both convenience and flexibility. The large 4-piece Scandinavian inspired bathroom features an indulgent steam shower and custom cabinetry. The third floor primary is a true haven, complete with a double closet and a refined 3-piece ensuite with heated floors. A private rooftop terrace offers an intimate escape above the city's bustle. The finished lower level, complete with a separate entrance, offers a wealth of possibilities - whether as a family room, an in-law suite or an income-generating space. A kitchen rough-in is already in place, allowing for seamless customization. Outside, lush gardens, a tranquil pond and two-car parking on a 150-foot lot complete this picture-perfect setting. Cowan isn't just a street, it's a community rich with spirit, where neighbours gather, children laugh, and traditions like the Cowanation Spring Sale and legendary Halloweens bring the block to life. This is more than a home, it's where stories are made and lived.
