This Leslieville townhouse clocks in at just over $1 million, surprisingly making it pretty cheap by Toronto standards. With all the gorgeous upgrades, this one looks like a genuine steal though.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What We Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Feel<\/strong> \u2013 townhouses are notorious for feeling cramped and narrow, especially in Toronto. What we love about this gem is that it\u2019s designed and decorated to prevent that. The walls, ceiling and trim are all painted the same white colour, preventing any division in the space. It inspires a big, open feel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Additionally, the kitchen, at the back of the main floor, isn\u2019t separated by a door, giving a clear sight line to the very back of the home. Lastly, large, single pane windows and doors allow as much light in as possible to brighten the space.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Neutral palette<\/strong> \u2013 the neutral palette, with small pops of colour, works similarly to the white walls and trim on the main floor. It allows for the space to remain open and airy, while also hitting all the best contemporary interior design points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Accent Walls<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s not all white walls in this house though. We love that it still takes some fun design risks to make it stand out. For instance, the grey accent wall in the bedroom makes an otherwise ordinary space look high-end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Skylight<\/strong> \u2013 The skylight on the third floor does wonderful work eliminating any cramped feeling that might have come from the sloped ceilings. Instead, light floods directly into the room making the ceilings feel luxuriously tall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Private Outdoor Area<\/strong> \u2013 We always love seeing outdoor areas in Toronto homes, because it feels nature and serenity are impossible to find in the city. This property\u2019s backyard is a gorgeous oasis that is surprisingly private considering it sits at ground level in a neighbourhood with tall homes. We love the tree growing right along the garden fence that adds extra shade and seclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

            You won\u2019t find many Toronto homes with such high-end finishes for such a low price. This property is a great example of how smart renovations and d\u00e9cor can more than make up for any seeming negatives in a house\u2019s structure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_separator color=”#ef4c23″ type=”normal” thickness=”4px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_custom_heading text=”Blog Recommendations” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” video=””][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]Recommended Posts:<\/p>\n
