1305 Springbank Ave

A home is a story....from its beginnings to the people who filled its rooms, and the walls that recorded their lives. Here is the story of 1305 Springbank Ave....I am a turn-of the century 1039 square foot home, built in 1905, when minimalism became in vogue. My turn-of the-century revamp retains the glistening polished oak floors and nod to minimalism with classic lines and pale tones to complement eclectic tastes in furniture or works of art. The clean open kitchen features transom windows to the living area. I am somewhat proud of my environmentally sensitive gravel driveway that leads to a street-facing covered front porch, perfect for a morning coffee. Two upper-level bedrooms with the principal room overlooking the backyard (which I will get to in a moment). It seems a bit unusual for the time period I was built in for the basement to have such a decent ceiling height that now accommodates a third bedroom. There is a main floor powder room and upper-level full bath. Now, to that backyard...hmmm my lot is 234 feet deep with a mature and peaceful landscape, an interlocking brick patio with fire-pit including a board and batten garden shed. If that isn't enough, I am in walking distance to Springbank Park, schools, Restaurants, the library, the community centre and shopping! I am definitely a neighbourhood kind of home to nestle in.
