Send This Listing To A Friend
Behind the lovely Japanese Maple and a front garden bursting with perennials, this Ford Street semi-detached home is full of thoughtful upgrades and inviting spaces that make it more than just a place to live—it’s a place to call home.Â
Inside, the home’s personality shines through. The exposed brick wall, original details, and a vintage fireplace mantle bring warmth and a touch of history to the main living area. Distinct living, dining, and kitchen rooms give the home a cozy, functional flow ideal for everyday living and working from home.Â
The kitchen, renovated in 2022, was designed with a modern yet classic touch. It features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a porcelain picket tile backsplash, and elegant gold hardware from CB2. Stainless steel appliances and a large window overlooking the backyard complete the picture, making this space as stylish as it is practical.
  
Upstairs, you’ll find two good-sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom boasts a roomy wardrobe, while the bathroom adds a touch of luxury with a new vanity and updated showerhead.
The finished basement (previously underpinned and waterproofed) includes a rec room that can easily double as a third bedroom, a dedicated laundry room, extra storage under the stairs, and a renovated bathroom (2020) with marble floors, a custom glass shower, and a rain showerhead.Â
The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully designed for both beauty and function. The front yard, landscaped in 2023, features a tapestry of low-maintenance perennials that provide year-round interest – from spring tulips and lily of the valley to summer lavender, hydrangeas, and a butter-cream rose bush. The interlock walkway (updated in 2024) leads to a cheerful front porch with a swing—a perfect spot for morning coffee or catching up with neighbours.
The backyard offers your own personal Ford escape under a shade-providing pergola. It also has a cleverly stepped landing with ample built-in storage and space to cultivate the perfect container garden. The landing area is perfect for a bistro table. With room to unwind or entertain, this outdoor space extends the home’s living space. The private drive can accommodate three or more cars—an uncommon luxury in the city.
Here is the full list of renovations and improvements.
74 Ford Street offers a perfect blend of style, comfort, and functionality for first-time buyers or those upgrading to a larger space. Every detail, from the updated floors and improved lighting to the thoughtfully designed landscaping, has been curated to make life easier and more enjoyable. All that’s left is to unpack, settle in, and start making memories.
