Down a street all of its own and with a one-of-a-kind postal code to match, this fabulous Riverdale laneway home at 1 Greig Ave. looks as if it’s been transported right out of New England (or perhaps, a fairy tale).

Listed at $2.5 million and featuring three bedrooms and two bathroom, 1 Greig Ave. was built by John Hinrichs and later re-imagined by fashion designer and columnist Michelle Llyod and developer husband David Bermann — all adding to its unique past.

Situated on what was once the horse stables for the long-gone Boulton Avenue Firehall No. 12 (circa 1884), Riverdale’s first fire station, this enchanting home exudes happiness and originality.

With lovely sky-blue double doors and a classic country-chic veranda that graces the front entrance, the welcoming feeling of this home is apparent from the start.

Upon entering the dining area and kitchen, it’s easy to imagine spending time here with good company and comfort food.

The kitchen has all the modern comforts one could wish for, all while maintaining the special character of this home.

You’ll immediately be drawn to the cozy yet airy feeling of the great room, thanks to the wood-burning fireplace, wall of French windows that open onto the garden and light that streams down from the octagonal cupola.

Ascending the whimsical staircase, you’ll notice the cupola’s fresco ceiling and many windows.

The primary bedroom at features a beautiful French double door with a lunette window that leads to a private balcony. It’s a lovely spot at any time of day.

The second upstairs bedroom is simply charming and offers a calm environment.

Optimizing the size of this laneway house, you’ll discover a fully finished basement with a den and another bedroom.

Offering a tree canopy of birdsong and over fifty white hydrangeas that, when in bloom, glow through the evening hours, the backyard is a magical place.

Next door, your closest neighbour is this darling parkette where the Victorian-era firehall once stood. Now, instead of sirens, you’ll hear the bubbly giggles of little ones.
