Truly, a home.
Here, we are nurturing family and community within the house and without: amongst neighbours and friends. This is a communal space, a social space, with ample room to unwind. 41st Avenue's bustling shops are a short walk, and there are a few transit options. Babysitting is, well, built-in. Come home, share food if you like. Somebody is always cooking extra. One of us will probably offer you tea or a smoothie or take the kids out for a walk or to the playground. Maybe you'll help create a magical (if "quaint") garden in the backyard or an art space or play the piano or guitar or... whatever musical instrument you bring. Talk politics or philosophy. Go for ice cream together or watch movies and eat said ice cream together.
While this particular house is a new communal home, a couple of us have anchored amazing community spaces for many years. We have two toddlers who are accustomed to living with a community of people and who would adore friends they come to know as family. Healing and support is inherent, not just in we look after each other, but in how we live.
The house (mansion):
3 floors
2.5 kitchens
5 bathrooms
Small back yard
1 formal living rooms
1 dining room
1 combined dining/living room (ground floor suite)
Quiet street
Very limited storage
2 washers and 2 driers
It is truly a treat to be able to live in this particular area and in a high-quality home. We go to great lengths to take care of it and to honour the spaces we inhabit, to be excellent tenants and neighbours, and to leave the house and the community even more vibrant and whole than we found it. Certainly, the surroundings are luxurious but we are unabashedly down-to-Earth caretakers and builders of social bridges.
