About this home
Victorian character, reimagined with inspired modern design: 281 Lisgar Street is a residence of rare distinction. Set on the coveted Lisgar bend with unobstructed, west-facing light, this 2 1/2-storey semi has undergone $450,000+ in renovations that honour its heritage bones while introducing luxurious contemporary finishes. Soaring ceilings crown an open main floor that flows through double sliding glass doors to the backyard. The dining room is a moment unto itself: original whitewashed brick fireplace, bay window, built-in banquette storage, and a Schonbek crystal chandelier - opening onto a chef's kitchen with waterfall black tile, pot filler, and gas range. Three brand-new bathrooms, each a statement. All-new electrical, plumbing, HVAC & AC. The third floor surprises with 10.5-ft vaulted ceilings, a full kitchenette, and a new terrace with CN Tower views. A legal basement apartment offers private walkout access and 5-star short-term rental history at $165+/night. 4+1 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Steps to Pizza Badiali, Trinity Bellwoods Park, and the Ossington strip. Little Portugal at its finest
