This 1,400 square foot, 2+1 bedroom rental suite occupies the rear of a well-connected property just footsteps from the Danforth corridor. Intended as a long-term rental unit, the homeowners envisioned a well-appointed, super-efficient living space at the upper level with a flexible ground floor capable of accommodating additional rental space, or extended living area for the main house. The upper unit offers a comfortable open concept living space oriented to the laneway, with two primary bedrooms overlooking the spacious garden. The ground floor level hosts a single car garage, office space and potential third bedroom aiming to maximize long-term housing flexibility on the lot. A bright white steel facade is perforated with strategic reveals that create depth and encourage privacy while preserving interior usable space. Castellated wood panels highlight these reveals with colourful accents integrated at doors and trims.
This elegant two-storey suite is a perfect example of how housing flexibility can be maximized relative to budget and potential revenue to yield a functional accessory dwelling unit that performs well both physically and financially.
