Original hardwood runs beneath substantial wood trim. Tall windows pull the garden into the rooms. Old brick surrounds the fireplace, framed by beautifully restored woodwork. Glass pocket doors divide the living and dining rooms. Transom windows, built-ins, original doors and hardware appear throughout. The details continue upstairs: a restored claw-foot tub, painted bead board and marble underfoot. In the kitchen, an elaborate pressed-tin ceiling adds another material, another pattern, and another layer.

The old brick basement was removed. The site beneath the house was excavated deeper. New sewer and water lines were installed. A new concrete foundation was then constructed beneath. The project created a full-height finished lower level with ceilings measuring 8 ft. 7½ in. In-floor heating was installed. A full three-piece bathroom was added. The scale of the project fundamentally changed the house.

A 1912 residence now stands on a foundation built in 2003.

The west-facing grounds are substantial. Mature trees create a remarkable canopy, joined by established fruit trees, perennial gardens, expansive lawn and a pond tucked among the greenery. A full width, two-tiered deck extends the living space into the garden, with dedicated areas for dining, entertaining and lounging. The property is fully fenced, front and back. An oversized double detached garage, complemented by a new garden shed and an exterior gas line. It is a garden with the maturity that only time can create.

The enclosed, 3 season, front verandah stretches across the eastern face of the house, wrapped in windows overlooking the front garden, mature trees and 125 Street. Upstairs, offers a west-facing terrace overlooks the rear gardens from above, with mature trees surrounding the view and afternoon light giving way to long summer evenings. It is remarkably private and offers an entirely different perspective on the grounds below.
