On a quiet street north of York, find this creative compound on a completely enchanting and massive 8,550 sf lot. Welcomed by flexible living and dining spaces, with easy access to the kitchen and a step-down den with windows facing into the backyard, this 2 bedroom house featured latticed windows, large closets, and private sleeping quarters, ideally cordoned off for privacy and tranquility. Shaded by a jacaranda tree, an ample, flat backyard led to the sun-drenched converted garage with a large multi-purpose room, bathroom with shower, and an additional bedroom with wood beamed ceilings for a cozy cabin-feel. Down a gravel path flanked by citrus trees, tall pine trees abounded, as well as multiple veggie beds with tomatoes, corn, cucumber, and an assortment of herbs. With no shortage of secluded areas to relax and entertain, including a deck with a hot tub, an outdoor dining area, and an additional flat pad at the top of the lot, this house felt like an out-of-town vacation, while still being a stone’s throw from the best shops and restaurants in Highland Park.
