Absolutely charming 2nd Empire Victorian worker's cottage. In 1980 this house was completely rebuilt, retaining only the front brick wall, the side walls and some joists. The basement was lowered and the staircase re-located. The subsequent owner re-did the kitchen and the bathroom. The result is an exceptionally solid, well-built house that just has a feeling of quality. This is a perfect couple's house or an ideal pied-a-terre in the city. 2 spacious bedrooms up; large high-ceilinged basement room is a possible 3rd. Great location in the better part of Cabbagetown, steps to both Wellesley Park and Riverdale Park East. Minutes to the shops and restaurants of Parliament Street, transit options and all the excitement of the core of the city!
