Property Description
Unquestionably cool and renovated to perfection, 9 Ottawa Street masterfully marries a Victorian facade with modern, light-filled interiors. The sum of two substantial renovations including a two-storey addition at the rear have transformed this home into the effortlessly chic Summerhill residence that now awaits its next owners.
From street level, the crisp white stucco facade is accented with sleek black windows and doors, setting the tone for an exciting reveal into the interiors. An impressively large foyer with porcelain tile flooring is accented with the original stained glass window, restored and refurbished to pay tribute to this home’s historical vintage. The living and dining rooms are open concept and uniquely house gorgeous custom built in wardrobes (front hall storage) and shelves with sliding architectural features. The kitchen holds a large centre island with breakfast bar seating for the whole family, and has a walk-out to the adorable and private garden setting at the rear. Finally, a main floor powder room services this level, with herringbone tile that carries from floor to ceiling in design.
On approach to the second floor, a custom glass and metal accent wall divides the hall from the stairs, adding aesthetic flavour to the second floor while also permitting natural light to more effectively flow through the home. Two excellent bedrooms are set on this floor, and both are serviced by a gorgeous and completely custom five-piece bathroom with two vanities, a freestanding tub and separate glass-encased shower. The front bedroom reminds us of the historical Victorian elements of the home with tall ceilings and architectural windows, while the rear bedroom showcases the more modern addition with an oversized picture window and built-in window seat. Also on this level is a large laundry room with full-sized machines, custom cabinetry and storage, and a unique pass through window from the bathroom, acting as the laundry “chute”.
Eyebrows raise further upon arrival to the third floor. The ceiling heights were expanded to ten feet, oversized windows were installed to expand the presence of natural light, and fixtures and finishes were appointed with precision and a natural sense of cool. The primary bedroom has a covered walk-out to a private terrace, and an absolutely gorgeous four-piece ensuite with integrated sinks and a skylight above the shower. A fully customized walk-in closet offers storage for all shapes and sizes of wardrobes, and includes an additional skylight feature to illuminate the space. The fourth bedroom on this floor is best used as a nursery or a home office, and is built-into the architectural facade of the front of the home.
The community immediately surrounding 9 Ottawa Street is a mix of families and long-term residents who understand the benefits of this completely unique urban community. This one-block street has the feels of a Notting Hill setting, while offering the city’s best amenities in Rosedale and Summerhill all within walking distance from the front door. The Yonge subway line is also conveniently just a five minutes walk from this home.
9 Ottawa Street is a very special offering to the Summerhill market which was so thoughtfully renovated with a very skilled sense of style. We welcome any additional inquiries and hope you will come for a visit in person to fully grasp this fabulous Summerhill opportunity.
