Laneway Property for Sale at 660R College Street

I’ve been fascinated by hidden spaces since well before my time selling real estate – and this absolute gem utterly amazed me.  Rumoured to have originally served as a local flour mill when Little Italy had a multitude of bakeries, this building eventually became a woodworking shop, before falling into complete disrepair.  Well, it’s forgotten no longer – thanks to a comprehensive and utterly stylish re-invention by the current owners.  Thanks for saving it, gents,

Penthouse Loft at Junction House for Sale

Working on floor plans in pre-construction is an immense amount of fun.  First, a little bit of knowledge goes a long way (just ask the structural engineers I challenge on sheer walls, columns and all that silly stuff).  Second, because it really challenges you to think about how people want to live, and how best to assemble the puzzle pieces for beauty and efficiency.  And lastly, because when you see a plan built – when
