Tri-city Bungalow
This Kitchener bungalow was really something. It had been purchased in 1961 and I honestly don’t think the homeowners had done anything in 50 years except accumulate furniture. It was like walking onto the set of “The Wonder Years”. There … Continue reading

St. Annes
This stacked town home in Toronto’s Bloor West neighbourhood had not been touched in 15 years. In fact, it still had the original builder’s paint on the walls. We were called in to get the place ready for sale. The … Continue reading

Horizon on Bay
This mid 80s condo was an organizational mess when I first arrived. None of the rooms were being used effectively. There was a cluttered desk in the bedroom, a cluttered dining table in the sunroom being used as a desk, … Continue reading

Legacy
Wow, is this condo ever small! Your basic box housing the kitchen, living and dining areas, virtually no counter space, no space for a dining set and the only wall where a sofa could go is where they decided to … Continue reading

The Penrose
One of the advantages of an older condo is that they are so much larger and easier to furnish. The big disadvantage is that many of them are hopelessly out of date and need a lot of work to bring … Continue reading
