While RS Homes primarily builds custom homes, from time to time we will build “on spec” – that is, for resale on the open market rather than designing to the needs of a specific client.
In 2012, we purchased this 1960’s bungalow, on a 36 foot wide lot on Glengarry Avenue, in the Ledbury Park Area, near Lawrence and Avenue road. To achieve a clean slate, we demolished the existing structure including the foundation. Click here to learn about building a custom home from scratch.
Glengarry
Project Type: Mid-Size Urban Infill, on Spec
Size: 2800 SF
Location: Ledbury Park (Lawrence and Avenue Road)
Completed: 2013
To create curb appeal, we designed a striking front elevation finished in stone, brick and stucco. Beyond the home’s attractiveness, value follows from 4 + 1 bedrooms with double garage and walkout basement – significant design feats for a 2800 square foot home on a 36 foot wide lot.
Having the garage at grade below an elevated main floor provides ample parking, a bright lower level, a spacious main floor and a highly coveted property overall. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and laundry on the second floor, we were able to position the home at a higher price point, ensuring a strong return on investment.
The space is elegantly divided, with social areas at the front and private areas at the rear. Interior finishes include 10 foot high ceilings, hardwood floors, full height wall paneling, and a gorgeous white kitchen filled with natural light, overlooking the rear yard.
