This mid-century modern house is a gem. It was built and designed in the 1950’s by renowned architect Henry Fliess. This home was one the original homes in Canada’s first fully planned community.

The home has been maintained very well, featuring much of its original character, including floor-to-ceiling windows, vaulted ceilings and stunning wood accents.

The main floor has an open-concept living and dining room.

The kitchen is bright with lots of storage space. It is probably the most dated part of the house and could use a makeover.

The family room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, and walks out into the backyard.

Upstairs are three large bedrooms. They’re pretty standard as far as bedrooms go.

The downside is you have to share the four-piece bathroom. But, on the bright side, it has a jacuzzi tub.

There’s a fourth bedroom and an office space in the basement, which opens into the backyard.

The backyard is spacious and shaded. There’s also a really nice trellis-covered eating area.
