Exceptional designer property in the heart of Queen Village! Originally built in the late 1800's and operated as a confectionary on historic Two Street, this home has been reimagined many times since then. Currently an elegant, modern home but with much of its historic character remaining - in the ceiling height, the original staircase and wide plank floors upstairs. Significant upgrades, into this century, include an open floor plan on the main level with a gorgeous, gourmet kitchen in the center of the home. The living area features a gas fireplace and french doors out onto the completely hardscaped patio with room for entertaining. Head upstairs to the magnificent primary suite, also with its own gas fireplace, and enjoy the spa-like bath with heated floors, heated towel rack and more. A guest bedroom finishes the second level. On the third level you will find the kids rooms, another fabulous bath, and access to an attic with loads of potential if you want even more room in the future. The basement level is not finished but is large, dry and currently used as a gym and laundry area with ample storage. Situated in desirable Meredith catchment and walkable to all that Queen Village has to offer.
