An effortless balance of calm, character and community on coveted Sackville Place! This impeccably cared for century old home will have your heart from the moment you lay eyes on it. Set on a storybook cul-de-sac where children run free and ball hockey still exists! Designed with intention to create a quiet sense of calm, while supporting the rhythm of every day life!
The magazine-worthy kitchen anchors the home - designed for real living and elevated entertaining - with induction cooking, abundant storage, expansive prep space, and serene views over the front perennial garden.
The soothing Taj Mahal quartzite island is both a functional workspace and a natural gathering point. The spacious dining and living room accommodate full scale furniture and can host large dinner parties or intimate evenings. At the rear of the house, a custom sliding door system seamlessly connects the interior space with the outdoors.
Upstairs, three bright, well-proportioned bedrooms offer excellent closet space and flexibility for growing families or work from home needs. The lower level provides a clean, highly functional space with a built-in workbench, laundry area, and exceptional storage-ready to use as-is or customize over time.
The professionally landscaped backyard is a private urban retreat, thoughtfully designed as an extension of the home-perfect for quiet mornings, summer dining, and everything in between.
Step outside and you're moments to some of the east end's most beloved amenities: stroll to Riverdale Farm, enjoy green space at Riverdale Park, or explore the shops, cafés, and restaurants along Parliament Street. With easy access to transit and downtown, the location offers the perfect balance of urban convenience and historic Cabbagetown charm!
Sackville Place feels like a small village tucked into the city. Kids play freely on the street, neighbours look out for one another, and daily life naturally spills outdoors. It’s close‑knit, unpretentious, and increasingly rare.
Upstairs, warm minimalist design and thoughtful built‑in storage keep spaces quiet, ordered, and free of visual noise, creating an immediate sense of calm. Downstairs, generous built in storage continues that clarity, while the workbench and hobby space allow room to make, fix, and create — all without cluttering daily life.
The garden brings the seasons to the doorstep — peonies, hydrangeas, serviceberry, catmint, and roses blooming in succession. It softens the house, adds beauty year‑round, and creates a daily connection to nature.
Filled with light and oriented toward the street, the kitchen keeps me connected to the rhythm of the lane. Kids eat breakfast at the island; friends gather with a glass of wine while dinner comes together. It’s practical, welcoming, and social.
Despite being in the heart of the city, the house feels sheltered and calm. Upstairs rooms are flooded with sunlight and framed by mature trees; downstairs, the backyard offers a cozy, protected retreat. Hawks passing by the windows and quiet evenings outdoors create privacy without isolation.
With the windows open, a steady breeze moves through the home and birdsong fills the rooms. Fresh air, light, and sound give the house an ease that’s immediately felt.
Everything is close enough to feel effortless. I bike to the office in 15 minutes, run errands on foot, and move through the city without friction or planning.
Coffee at Jet Fuel or Sumach Espresso, pastries from Bisou, provisions from Daniel et Daniel and meals at House on Parliament , long walks with the dogs and spontaneous stops along the way — the neighbourhood shapes everyday life in small, meaningful ways.
Runs and walks connect easily to the valley trails, Riverdale Park and Farm, Evergreen Brick Works, and the waterfront — Leslie Spit, Cherry Beach, or west along the lake.
Tree‑lined streets, historic homes, and a quiet confidence define this part of the city. It’s beautiful without trying to be — authentic, lived‑in, and timeless.
