They have a reputation of being dark, damp, and generally kinda depressing. However, 1-15 Scarth Rd. might just defy all the stereotypes of basement dwellings. Located in a century-old Victorian home in Rosedale that was renovated back in 2018, this is not your average basement unit. The main living areas. This unit is just one of four units in the historic home and boasts an impressive 3,000 square feet of living space. A breakfast nook. Perhaps more impressive is how light-filled and beautiful this unit is despite being mostly below ground. A living room with tons of light. Thanks to the large windows and skylights, this split-level unit is bright, warm and sophisticated with wide plank engineered wood floors throughout. Exposed brick det...
