On a street lined with multi-million dollar estates in the heart of the sought-after Rosedale neighbourhood, you’d never know this atypical home is actually a townhouse hidden in one of the area’s stylish mansions. 

Designed to emulate the kind of mews houses found in London, the residence blends in with the rest of the street and is definitely in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood.

At 2,500 square feet, the home only looks deceptively large. Inside, the layout is actually more akin to a condo. The current arrangement has four bathrooms, and one bedroom (a master suite with tall windows, loads of natural light, and a cozy sitting area next to it's own fireplace) — although the third-floor library and family room on the lower level could potentially be converted.

However, it would be a shame to change anything about the library, which has got some serious charm — with its integrated bookshelves and sliding ladders. 

The high-end finishes (like the coffered ceilings and crown mouldings), paired with the current owner’s stylish furnishings, make for a traditional, yet chic residence.

While the house is compact in size, the design is effectively executed, as is the current owner’s use of mirrors (in the kitchen, and the living room). A handy little optical illusion — but hey, if it works, why not?
