It's said that still waters run deep. This seemingly typical
house in a suburb of Toronto, Canada is evidence that this saying could very
well be true. A 96-year-old woman calls this innocuous-looking place home. It
is with a heavy heart that she has decided to move out due to her age. She has
lived in the house for 72 years and has only remodeled it once. But once is
enough when it looks like this inside!
Your
heart will melt with the first step in the front door. A dreamy mixture of
pastel hues and precious gold complement one another. The owner's stunning
attention to detail is obvious from the very start.
At the
latest, the second room will win you over. Not only does the owner have
astounding taste, but she's also managed to perfectly preserve the stylish
charm of the 1950's era.
The
elderly woman used to work as a seamstress. Looking at her house, you can
imagine that she was a devoted and precise tailor.
Each
room is a uniquely individual universe with perfectly coordinating colors,
furniture, and decorations. Yet the pastel tones bring the house together as a
whole.
I would
love to start my mornings in such an immaculate breakfast nook! This gem won't
last long on the market.
Supposedly
her husband gave her free reign to decorate the house, except in the bedroom.
He only had this request, "Do what you like in the other rooms, but please
no pink in the bedroom." In the end, it was purple. I wonder what her
husband thought of that!
I
would've kissed my mom's feet for a room like this as a child.
You can
even sit in style in the bathroom.
Of
course the house wouldn't be complete without a genuine cocktail room
downstairs ... where the drinks and the gossip flow. The house would make the
perfect movie set - it's 100% authentic.
Don't
forget the fully-equipped laundry room. I'm floored by how pristine and tidy
this entire house looks.
A
comfortable garden to relax your days away in. Like everything else in the
home, it is in top condition.
But this time capsule does come with a price. You could be
the proud new owner, furniture included, for just $650,000. Hopefully they find
a buyer who will fully appreciate the style and all of the antiques this place
has to offer.
