This lovely detached house in North Toronto needed more space for an expanding family. An existing unattractive and inefficient two storey brick addition was removed. A large 2 storey addition was added to include a master bedroom and ensuite bathroom on the second floor, modern, open-concept kitchen and family room on the main floor and a play room in the basement. The design is a perfect mix of traditional and contemporary construction and style. The addition is uniquely constructed with a twelve foot high wall of glass windows and doors on the south exposure, skylights near the middle of the house and a lowered family room area with ten foot ceilings.
