Nestled amongst the splendid Victorian homes of Harbord Village, tucked away on the west side of Sussex Mews, stands this Bohemian oasis.

The Main Floor suite features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and is an airy, loft-like slice of Soho in Toronto with 10 ft + ceilings. Charming upper-level owners' suite features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and is a cozy space with a walkout to a private garden. Garden level suite features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom with a working wood burning fireplace and a private walkout to a patio lounge space.
