Casa unifamiliare in vendita, 191 CHEAPSIDE STREET, London East (east B), Ontario N6A 1Z9, Canada

The two-and-a-half-storey red brick house at 191 Cheapside Street reflects a typical late Edwardian style, but on a grander scale that allows for striking architectural flourishes. Hallmarks of the style include a hipped roof with cross gables, tall corbelled brick chimneys, a large front gable over a projecting wall, and a broad porch that wraps around the west side. Notable features include broad eaves with large modillions, intricate half-timbering in the gable apse, a Palladian window-door opening onto a balustraded balcony, and an octagonal Scottish dormer with sash windows. The porch features Ionic columns with limestone bases and red sandstone trim, and a balustrade with narrow balusters.The front entrance is particularly distinctive, with bevelled glass in the oak-framed door, sidelights, and elliptical transom, topped by a cylindrical bay window. These features are highlighted against a purposefully subdued backdrop: red brick with red mortar, minimal stone contrast, and orderly sash windows. Red sandstone trim appears in window sills, voussoirs, and along the limestone foundation.Additions to the house, including a flat-roofed sunroom and a 2008 rear extension, are faithful to the original design, replicating key details such as brick colour, eaves, and modillions. The property benefits from its setting on the wide, boulevard-lined west end of Cheapside Street. The current owners have developed a formal Renaissance garden in front, enclosed by a metal fence and visually linked to the house by shared architectural motifs like half-timbering. A driveway on the west leads to a two-car garage that echoes the main houses design.The house sits approximately 7.25 metres from the front property line and 22.5 metres from the street. (id:42016)
