The Details
Some home restorations can take away more than they add to a home, stripping out old-world charm in favour of modern conventions. But that’s certainly not the case here at 806 Maitland Street, where the restoration on this five-bed, five-bath Old North century home has maintained traditional elegance and stately character while still finding innovative ways to add modern elements and conveniences. How many homes out there on the market have a traditional sitting room, plus a sound-treated home studio?
One of the things that really stands out in this home is the materials featured throughout, from the white-brick exterior, stonework in the garden and copper eavestroughs to the beautiful architectural touches used in the interior of the home. You’ll find a lot of rich wood in this home, including the thick double doors at the entrance, custom millwork and walnut flooring on multiple levels. Elsewhere, other materials shine: the marble countertops in the kitchen, brass hardware or the striking black marble in the bathroom and laundry room.
The main level features a grand staircase at the entrance, plus a sitting room with a fireplace, a small home office with built-in bookshelves, as well as a large traditional family room with a second fireplace, plus room for lots of seating and a nook big enough for a grand piano (not included with the home, unfortunately). The kitchen features custom cabinetry, a giant farmhouse sink, marble countertops, plus a gas range and an island with seating for three. The formal dining room has a set of french doors connecting it to the patio, and plenty of room for a large, impressive family dining table. The main level also throws a lot of different textures at you, from the smooth hardwood and marble to the textured coffered ceilings and millwork on the walls.
There are multiple bedrooms on the upper level, with the primary suite featuring a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a large soaking tub, a walk-in shower and a floating vanity. The additioanl bedrooms also feature hardwood flooring, and are generously sized. If you’re looking to get some real privacy, this home also features a top-level attic loft ― a perfect place to steal a few quiet moments to yourself.
Elsewhere in the home you’ll find some more modern amenities, including a home gym and a home recording studio with acoustic panelling installed. There’s also an additional bedroom on the lower level, plus a full bathroom. Out back, there’s a full stone patio, lush, landscaped gardens and covered porch that’s accessible via the dining room and the kitchen.
Your feet will love this home in the winter, too, with four levels of heated flooring. And in the summer, you’ll appreciate the abundance of natural light with the custom double-hung, triple-paned Marvin windows.
The old-fashioned style and sophistication doesn’t come cheap, but this property is a beautiful example of the traditional British architecture that you’ll find in some of Old North’s most prestigious homes.
