Home Overview

Description

A hidden creative compound nestled along one of South Parkdale's most coveted tree-lined avenues, this property tells a story of history, transformation, and creativity dating back to the 1890s. Once known as Harry's Dairy, the shop that delivered milk by horseback to cottages, it has been reimagined over decades into a private urban retreat cherished by artists, photographers, directors, and even the interior designer of the famed Drake Hotel. Discreet gates open into a lush courtyard that feels more like a hidden European garden than a city address. This unique compound includes 2 separate houses on one extraordinary lot. Crossing the threshold, the converted warehouse reveals itself in layers of scale and texture; flowing linear volumes, dropped-beam ceilings, raw and warm pine floors. Sunlight pours through skylights and oversized windows, illuminating mid-century lines and detailing, creating a dialogue between past and present. The warehouse, now the owner's residence, centers around a designer kitchen with an open plan that balances intimacy with expansiveness. Bedrooms are thoughtfully differentiated yet united, elevated yet simple. The lower level extends this sense of abundance with open space, refined finishes, and a designer's touch. The second home, a classic 3 storey Victorian fronting the street, houses 2 distinctive apartments. The main and lower level form a spacious 1-bed suite, while the upper 2-bed suite opens onto a rooftop terrace that extends living into the sky. Together, these residences create a versatile compound ideal for multi-generational living, flexible income, or a creative campus. Original industrial character chimney, exposed brick, and historic layers flow effortlessly with modern design. Parking for 2 vehicles adds rare urban convenience. This is more than 2 homes; its a hidden gem where history and architecture meet, and where art and life have long intertwined. Note: the once corner store, is also avail at 69 Elm Grove.
