Our vision for this Kensington project began when we thought about the history of an old Edwardian house, and all the enjoyment previous generations had experienced in it.
This home had stood unchanged for some 80 years. We wanted to transform it in a way that would celebrate its legacy, while making it enjoyable for generations to come.
The project involved a complete remodel, including new kitchen, the addition of an ensuite and laundry as well as a new deck and backyard area. Rare in its size and potential, this was a dream project and one that we hope future owners will enjoy for another 80 years (at least)!
