'BAY-BY', WHAT A BAY WINDOW!

19 Beverly Street East, St. George, ON c. 1880s


The bay window in this home and its gorgeous mouldings have rendered me speechless (and saliva-less as I can't stop drooling). 



And thank goodness as otherwise I would have a few thing to say about that 'tickle trunk' prop and the 70s-style front door (although the original leaded glass transom and sidelights are cool).



Few flaws aside, this FRESH piece of BRICK has all the character bones a historic home lover could dream of including, unparalleled curb appeal on an over half acre lot, hardwood floors, pocket doors, plaster medallions, wood carved staircase, PLUS a cabin from the 1900s!

STAIRWAY from HEAVEN

21 Dunsmure Road, Hamilton, ON circa 1933

Sure there are original oak hardwood floors with inlay, high baseboards, detailed trim, pocket doors, coffered ceilings and paneled walls BUT they have nothing on the show stopping, jaw dropping, knock your socks off, original wood carved staircase with double newel posts. 




This foyer makes a serious first impression, elevating this 1933 colonial revival home to a whole new level!
