Brookhaven-Amesbury · North York, Toronto
A brick house from the 1940s on a corner lot fifty feet wide, taken back to the studs inside and rebuilt: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a new kitchen, and a finished lower level with a kitchen and an entrance of its own.
The house
Harrow Drive is a short residential street off Trethewey Drive, in the part of North York the City calls Brookhaven-Amesbury. The houses on it went up in the 1940s and 1950s, and this one is one of the originals — red brick, a gable over the front step, a full upper floor tucked under the roofline.
Inside it has been taken apart and put back together. The floors, the trim, the doors, the lighting, the kitchen and both bathrooms are new. Every wall is painted the same white, which is what makes the rooms read as large as they do in these photographs, and it is worth saying plainly: the furniture is staging, brought in for the photographs and not part of the house.
The plan is a storey and a half. Living room, dining room, kitchen and one bedroom on the main floor; two more bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs under the slope of the roof; and a finished lower level with its own stair, its own kitchen and a three-piece bathroom.
Inside
Fourteen photographs
Front door into a hall, living room across the front of the house, dining room behind it, kitchen at the back. The furniture is staging and does not come with the house.
On the main floor
Four photographs
One of the three bedrooms is on the main floor, at the back of the house off a short hall that also runs to the side door.
Under the roof
Twelve photographs
Two bedrooms and a bathroom fill the upper floor. The ceilings follow the pitch of the roof, so the walls are low at the eaves and full height down the middle.
Downstairs
Seven photographs
Finished, with its own stair and entrance, a second kitchen, a three-piece bathroom, a laundry room and a long open room. We photographed what is there; whether it can be used as a separate dwelling is a question for the City and for your lawyer, and nothing on this page should be read as saying that it can.
Outside
Five photographs
A corner lot fifty feet across and a hundred and twenty-four deep, with grass and mature trees behind the house and a private drive to a detached double garage.
Where it sits
Amesbury Park is about half a kilometre from the door. The Eglinton Crosstown runs along Eglinton Avenue West, roughly a kilometre and a half south, with two of its stations about the same distance away.
These are straight-line distances from the property to each place, measured from public map coordinates, not driving or walking times. Nothing here is a statement about schools or school catchments; the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Catholic District School Board set those and change them, so ask them directly.
