The Annex in Mimico. I jest you not - the downtown red brick mansion of your dreams has waltzed itself into prime Mimico by the Lake, and he tips his top hat at you... yes, you. This residence boasts 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a real wood-burning fire, exposed brick walls across all three levels, and a separate ent to a basement studio complete with a kitchen and bath. Add parking for 4, a massive yard, and countless modern updates within nearly 4,000 SF of living space, and you'll see why "handsome" doesn't even begin to describe this home. From its arched entryway, carriage lights, and suspended bay window, the exterior alone embodies timelessness. Built circa 1850 as a bold statement when the land was purchased from King George himself. It's soaring main-level ceilings practically show off and why not? Where else would you find a great room dining/living combo with a real wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and an arched window? Probably in the same imaginary place, you'll discover a kitchen this well-renovated, featuring high-end appliances and a design that flows seamlessly into a second main-floor family room, spilling out into an oversized, private garden. No, no, I am not biting my thumb at you; I'm just having fun and perhaps feeling a tad saucy. And why wouldn't I? Just look at the second level! Here, you'll find a principal suite with a walk-in closet and bath fit for Queen Anne herself, alongside a spacious second bedroom with double closets, and a lavish family bath/rm large enough to hold court. Don't forget the second-floor laundry, a convenience fit for a noble family! The 3rd level continues to roll out the red carpet with 3 additional bedrooms, each more spectacular than the last, all leading to what I think is one of the most special rooms in all of Mimico with its quarter circle window, tall ceilings, an exposed brick wall and a view down to the lake. This home is bound to capture many eager hearts, but only one lucky suitor will win its affection. More closet and storage space than I've ever seen, hardwood and engineered flooring throughout, all new windows (2024), a new heat pump system, and an updated kitchen and bathrooms, in-law suite with great ceiling height.
