A rare Nutana offering, you are invited to share in 843 Temperance Street. After 37 years in the caring hands of its current family, this historic Victorian home awaits its next owners. The stunning tree-filled lot setting rests along one of the city’s most admired series of homes, steps from the Meewasin River Valley and Broadway Avenue. The beautifully updated 5 bed/3 bath home has been a fond neighbourhood landmark to many, and the annual site of amazing seasonal traditions, back-yard soirees, and house concerts. Happiness, musicality and togetherness are as much a part of its composition as its original heritage finishing. Taking inspiration from the property’s rich variety of dramatic trees, the home can best be described as a ‘House within a Garden’. Entering the home, the main floor features 9’ ceilings, formal foyer and spindle stairwell, a large living area with an intimate gas fireplace feature (2016), spacious dining, study and powder area (2019), and a breathtaking granite-finished kitchen with nook overlooking the greenery of the rear yard. Upstairs, find a modern bathroom (2008) with heated tile flooring and luxurious clawfoot tub, and 5 bedrooms. Contemporary lighting, kitchen and bathroom updates weave beautifully within the home’s original finishes, including original hardwood and softwood flooring, millwork, and hardware. The home’s finishing includes a basement family room, den and full bath with laundry. Outside, the home’s exterior features an engaging open air front veranda, stunning tree canopies and plant varieties that envelope the yard, patio, fountain feature, garden space, tool shed with metal roof, and a secluded fire pit retreat. Other notable home features and updates include warm cork kitchen flooring, newer gas stove (2019), complete window coverings package, bidet toilet, new front storm door (2021), window updates to the 3rd floor (2019), and City water & sewer lines (re-lined in 2019).
