An extraordinary expression of timeless design in Historic Whitland, 205 Carden Avenue has been comprehensively reimagined by Michelle Smith of Studio MRS (Elle Decor, Architectural Digest). More than a renovation, the residence underwent an architectural transformation to create gracious proportions, effortless flow and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The staircase was relocated, interior walls reconfigured and upstairs ceilings raised to create a spacious second level with an additional twin bedroom, charming nook, cedar closet, linen press and private office with balcony. New hardwoods throughout are complemented by imported Saltillo tile in the kitchen, family room, mudroom and new laundry room. The bespoke kitchen features custom cabinetry, AGA range, DeVOL sink, custom Portuguese tile, integrated refrigerator and freezer, ice maker and custom wet bar. The primary suite offers custom cabinetry, heated tile floors, Barber Wilsons fixtures, Rose Tarlow wallpaper and curtains. Designer details continue throughout with Forbes & Lomax light plates and dimmers, Penny Morrison wallpaper and Farrow & Ball paint inside and out. Imported English marble mantels, new fireboxes and gas fires distinguish the living and family rooms. Outdoors, a new rear patio with Provincial-inspired concrete walls, custom retractable awning and water feature creates an intimate retreat. Additional details include copper exterior piping and custom copper mailbox. The refinished basement has been waterproofed and air-sealed with a dedicated dehumidification system.
