Trinity Tuesday: Something Extra in Queen Village
Somewhere between 1920 (the date this house was built, according to the listing) and today, someone was enamored enough of this trinity on a quiet secluded alleyway in Queen Village to double down on it.
Because of that, you get double for your money: twice the bathrooms, twice the fireplaces, twice the outdoor space and nearly twice the typical square footage of a trinity. You also get some unusual extras in the bargain.
The first floor features a living room with fireplace (that the current owner never used), a roomy modern kitchen with the latest in trim and appliances, and a private side and rear yard with a covered easement to the walkway and storage shed all the units in this development share.
On the second floor is a bedroom with its own fireplace, three closets and a bathroom that features a modern tile tub/shower, contemporary vanity and laundry.
Up top, the master bedroom includes a stylish modern bathroom with glass-enclosed stone tile rain shower and a rear deck you’ll enjoy hanging out on at sunrise, on a lazy Sunday morning, or when the stars come out at night.
Below all this is a basement den space with great potential. It has a tile floor, an original stone wall and a grotto-like nook.
In fact, if it weren’t for the trademark spiral staircase, you might not know you were living in a trinity at all.
