Highly Coveted Junction landmark circa 1887! With its striking oft-admired curb appeal, The William Baird House is stunning both inside & out, while exuding timeless charm & original character. Soaring 10 foot ceilings, breathtaking arched windows & elegant stained glass & transom windows are just a few of the historical features that combine to create a bright, airy & graceful atmosphere. Original crown mouldings & ceiling medallions provide additional decorative flourishes. This home is comprised of two spacious independent units, connected by a grand central staircase. The main floor/lower level unit (1+1 bdrm, 2 bath) features a spectacular foyer with huge arched windows, an expansive old world dining room, living room with fireplace, & kitchen with large breakfast bar. A large primary bedroom on the lower level is light filled, with a renovated ensuite washroom, & separate daybed/lounge area.

This heritage home has been meticulously cared for with quality modern upgrades throughout, including a sleek gunmetal steel-sided 2-story rear addition, adding space and function with a main floor guest room and 2nd floor entry with combined mudroom/laundry. This beauty in the West Bend neighbourhood is steps from all the amazing shops and restaurants in The Junction, Baird Park's Lawn Bowling Club/Sat morning Farmer's Market & a stroll away from Roncesvalles & nature in High Park! Premier schools & convenient TTC/Subway & Highway access - the best the west end has to offer!
