Restored Victorian

Completely restoring the front façade and the interior of this Victorian house from the 1890's brought the home back to its glory and the now beautiful renovation was nominated for the 2011 Cabbagetown Restoration Award.

A fresh look was created while still staying true to the architectural origins of this Victorian home. The front brick façade of the home was restored and its front porches were rebuilt along with the bay window – all based on pictures taken of the house in 1957. At the back of the house, a landscaped garden creates personal green space, which is protected by stone retaining walls and charming period-style, cast iron fencing. A new roof was also installed.

The interior of the house was also completely redone, which included the resulting brand new bathrooms and a greatly improved kitchen (pictured in the gallery). The home’s comfort level was also enhanced by improving its energy efficiency; spray foam insulation was installed, EIFS stucco was added along the side rear facades and the replacement of existing furnaces with new, high efficiency ones adds potential hydro savings.

A touch of the modern that still pays homage to its heritage, this Victorian restoration project is a sight to behold.
