The family room has a charming exposed brick feature wall and gas fireplace, cozy touches to this relaxing space.
A 9 ft. ceiling, an original stained glass window, vintage chandelier, and custom cabinetry are showcased in the expansive front foyer.
Up the staircase, to the second level, are three bright, light-filled bedrooms, and two luxuriously finished washrooms, with wide-plank hardwood flooring flowing throughout the hallway and into all the bedrooms.
The second bedroom has a soaring bay window, and its expansive built-in wardrobe has soft-close drawers, ample hanging space, and custom full-height sliding doors.
The third bedroom features a beautifully detailed original fireplace with cast iron insert, a built-in antique glass-front armoire, a patio walkout and bay window, and wall-to-wall built-in wardrobe.
The family washroom is finished with limestone tiles; radiant floor heating; shower area with glass doors and polished-nickel rain-head shower and fixtures.
The master bedroom boasts an exposed brick feature wall, antique chandelier, and French doors leading out to a gorgeous private balcony retreat.
The stunning ensuite features an antique vanity with scallop-edged marble top and vintage-style mirrored cabinet; a huge soaker tub with soft grey marble surround and wall-mounted, polished-nickel shower cradle and faucet set; and built-in shelving.
Completing this luxurious master retreat is an expansive walk-in closet showcasing a make-up vanity table, a wall of fitted cabinets on one side, and open shelving on the other.
A bright and airy, sky-lit third-floor staircase leads to a beach-like paradise.
This level has fresh, light hardwood flooring throughout, and the fourth bedroom features a seashell chandelier, two gorgeous closets, alcove shelving, and a built-in desk with sconce task lighting for homework.
The 3-pc washroom is finished with a pebble tile floor with radiant heating, a large skylight, sleek white cabinets; and an oversized custom glass shower with rain-head shower.
With a seashell chandelier, large fitted closet, alcove shelving, a built-in hammock, sectional, and wall-mounted TV, this space is also a terrific fifth bedroom, or a dream hangout.
The full-height, bead board basement showcases a bright, airy space ideal as a media room or home office area, finished with a long wall of sleek white storage cabinets, gleaming high-gloss epoxy floors, whitewashed beams and brick pillars.
Behind a barn board sliding door lies a contemporary bathroom with barn board style ceramic planks, radiant under-floor heating, custom glass shower with polished-nickel rain-head shower and fixtures, and a sleek, modern vanity.
The laundry area has a brand new front-load washer and dryer - and the adjacent wine cellar is a naturally cool room with flagstone-style flooring and low lighting.
Another ideal bedroom for teens or tweens has a built-in computer desk and a contemporary sliding barn board door.

This house is so beautiful and charming. I love everything about it.

[@sherbearb.1593]

This is one of the most beautiful homes I have seen here. Very homey. Loved the stained glass window. Nice touch. The privacy in the back yard is a plus.

[@ronfirth5198]

That was my Grandmother's house up until about 1980. Hard to believe she lived there alone until her late 80's.

[@Veronica-jl5wm]

That is a beautiful home, I bet she loved it.

[@gabrielaroman9743]

Ron Firth, although renovated, every inch of the house has the love of your Grandma 😊

[@Shmuhzzle]

My great grandparents lived next door! Clara and Murray King.

[@sandramullen7804]

Lovely home 🏡. Not huge rooms but great use of all the floors.. 👍

[@annedwyer797]

FANTASTIC house! I love the way original vintage is combined with new features. A lot of house (4 levels!) in a relatively small footprint, with a great backyard and lots of trees. I've lived in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (prairie) for 20 yrs, and I still miss the green/trees of the East coast.

[@volition51]

Wish this was still on the market, there is something very special about the proportions of these rooms; so tasteful, beautiful, cozy. But no driveway or garage!

[@sharanappakotrappa7866]

Amazingly beautiful home 🏡 💖💖💖💖😍

[@mrsTraveller64]

As a person who has never lived in a house,only in apartmentbuildings all my life,I LOVE to be able to look inside houses😍 Not modern-built square-box-houses with glass-walls but these REAL houses,that looks as a house should look!!! If I only had the money,I would buy this house and replace every WHITE chair with my colourful chairs(dark red and pale-blue) and move in tomorrow😍 Well I would also put wallpapers in every room,on ONE wall,to make it look warmer and more cozy. And of course colourful dark-red or pale-blue carpets in every room!

[@joazinhonaguiana]

Breathtaking! I'm panting for air!!! Hands down house!

[@davenix604]

[@blackmamba5380]

Why here we dont have such homes? It is only enough to stand outside and just watch it... Looks so welcoming so warm so built with care and love... all homes in Canada looks like that.... or just youtube is bombardizing me all the time with related videos? Aaaaaa.....

If i was there i would create a small corner with goldfish on the backyard i would own two dogs and i would have 1 yellow bird to sing and a parrot. I would have also inside a huge aquarioum.

[@andreiatoledo9552]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@Arias_Voice]

I love the music here you should use this music more often it reflects more of the positive and inviting tone in the music you currently use

[@OpenHouse24]

Thanks for the comment. We don't use some music again because even though we buy the rights. KZbin flags it and we have to dispute it over and over. And it takes 3 to 30 days to resolve each dispute. Not efficient when we do 4 videos a day some times. Kinda annoying but that's how it is.

[@Arias_Voice]

+Open House 24 I know how getting flagged on KZbin Feels trust me

[@nataliaeskova533]

Вот этот домик я бы хотела иметь, все нравится

[@SenoritaJ]

I will buy this once i won the lotto lol

Senorita J Get in line! I will win the lotto first and then buy it!

[@02ujtb00626]

I wonder where the water cooler and furnace go...

[@kamanama3671]

I've checked it out on Google Earthtoday and it looks like a different home the entrance to it the landscaping they put a balcony railing where the to be when does our is painted dark it's amazing what can happen in five years to change the look of a home that drastically

[@antoniogamersuper6157]

The house of my dreams!!how much it cost?I'm from Argentina!!

[@Giulia-yq4nj]

the Addams family...where is Parsley. I'll do Wendy

[@jancw]

5:35 peek-a-boo :)

[@maryoleary2037]

The size of this house calls for a family. Can you imagine having kids and dogs running through that all white house? The decor although sleek, is totally impractical, devoid of personality and not at all family friendly.

[@user-qv9un5td8e]

How much the price of the house

[@antwunbarbary9843]

Ms,🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖

[@Moonflower52]

Can you imagine having little kids in this house with all that white furniture having sticky jelly fingers all over the furniture LOL

[@v.n.2424]

How much does it cost?

[@cw5451]

No shower in the master bath? That’s strange.

[@alirae1071]

I was thinking the same! All of the bathrooms are lovely, that was my only downside of the home

[@Giulia-yq4nj]

mon amour don't speak me in french...brrrr oh Gomez

[@Plato_Guy_YT]

please use 4k camera or good veiw

[@mariadasilva8743]

Me and my boyfriend want buy a house

[@cw5451]

NEVER paint over historic, original wood! For one thing, you have to REPAINT it at times, and you don’t have to do that with wood. And I believe original, unpainted wood increases the home’s value. Lastly, unpainted wood makes the home feel warmer. It pains me to see all that paint over wood. I can only image the beautiful wood that hides beneath.

[@Giulia-yq4nj]

...butthe ghost is in off ?

[@unrulysue6927]

I love the style of this house but could do with less white. Don't like the feeling of living in an icebox.

[@Judeluvspasta__]

wow 1 dislike

[@ccorbin83]

4 bathrooms and only 1 bath tub.😩👎🏽

[@obsideon1343]

What a horrible front door! Great looking home.

[@youaintneverlied]

colorless

[@mikaelb.2070]

"marries classic Parisian style with sleek contemporary living..." - love it when they just throw around words like empty shells. But the realtor-blabla goes on as they keep uttering the words "parisian", "château" and "French" even though this house has zero connection to France. It is embarrassing how hard they try to use these words to make it all appear more sophisticated.

[@alecto7926]

Not a fan of the master bathroom
