Inside a Victorian townhouse that was given a $1.7 million makeover

From the brick-clad exterior to the third level primary suite and everything in between, the Victorian home at 2 Laurier Ave. is a stunner.

This designated heritage property was built back in 1889. The current owners initially bought the 2,768 square foot home for just over $1 million. In 2020, they invested nearly $1.7 million into rebuilding the home with endless luxuries. All their work has earned this four-level town home a listing price of $3.099 million.
