The original owners of this original-condition 1950’s home had lived there for nearly 70 years. Our goal was to preserve its mid-century character while introducing modern functionality.

We opened up the living, dining, and kitchen areas to create an open-concept floor plan while carefully maintaining and restoring the original plaster cove ceiling details. The unique V-shaped plaster fireplace and original walnut wall panelling were retained as focal points, celebrating the home’s vintage charm. Beneath the carpets, we uncovered and restored beautiful original oak flooring throughout the main level.

The existing oversized bathroom was reconfigured into a more efficient main bath, allowing space for a brand-new primary ensuite with a walk-in shower and dual sinks. Bedroom layouts were refined to optimize space, including the addition of a walk-in closet in the primary bedroom and a new upstairs laundry area - all while preserving the original three-bedroom layout.

The lower level, previously an unfinished walk-out basement, was completely transformed into two additional suites: a two-bedroom unit and a studio, maximizing the home's potential for multi-generational living or rental income. Sitting on a spacious 10,000 sq. ft. lot with stunning cherry blossom trees, this property became the perfect balance of heritage preservation and contemporary function.
