West Queen West Contemporary | Production

This 2100-square foot three-storey home is located in the heart of the city's West Queen West area (also known as the Art & Design District). The neighbourhood was ranked by Vogue Magazine as "the second coolest neighbourhood in the world" in its 2014 survey and as "a neighbourhood like no other" in a New York Times feature of the same year. The home's exterior is Bay and Gable, a late Victorian architectural style (1870-1890) unique to Toronto. The interior of the house has been redesigned by award-winning architect, Wanda Ely. That redesign has been featured in House & Home (October 2016), Chatelaine (March 2017), Houzz (July 1, 2017), Designlines (July 2017), and the Globe and Mail's The Architourist column (September 8, 2017). The home has hardwood floors throughout and 10 foot ceilings on the first floor. Its main features are the Library, Kitchen-Dining Room, and Master Bedroom-Salon. The Library has the original working fireplace surrounded by floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves. The Kitchen-Dining Room features modern appliances with black stone countertops and sink, Palau Celeste tile in the Mudroom area, and natural wood built-ins. Overlooking the Dining Room is 'Crystal' by renowned Toronto painter Christian McLeod. There are tin ceilings throughout the first floor with the Dining Room's portion painted matte black. Bath/Bed: 2/4. A/C throughout the house.
