This 1885 bungalow in Holmedale Dufferin is a compact 949 sq ft, but the property is anchored by a standout detached workshop — roughly 680 sq ft with 13-foot ceilings, a mezzanine loft, two garage bays, and a utility sink. For anyone who works on vehicles, runs a trade, or needs serious storage, that workshop changes the math on this address.
Inside, the main living areas hold up well. Hardwood floors run through the dining and living rooms, connected by a wood post-and-beam archway. The kitchen is practical with white cabinets, a tile backsplash, and a walk-in pantry. The 4-piece bathroom has been updated. All three bedrooms are original in character — wood wainscoting, older wardrobes, and modest sizing.
A new deck runs along the rear of the house. The backyard is flat and open, with room to work with.
