Cabbagetown, Welcome Home!

This trip we are looking at the front entrances
of the homes in Cabbagetown-
We'll see who has put their best foot forward 
to welcome their guests in style-
And there are so many who have!
Here's just a few!

Let's start with the best!

Is this the front porch or a spa?!

Who wouldn't feel spoiled with a front entrance like this?

Small but big statement!
Good variety of plants, 
great attention to detail,
A very sweet outcome!

Impeccable!!

Simple but pure in garden design!

Clean lines matching the house

 resulting in a peaceful retreat!

A full garden and trees to soften the tone!
A beautiful sight for sore eyes, 
What a delight every time you come home!

Here's a real oasis!

Traditional, but lot's of detail in house 

and garden to brighten your day!

 

A nice sunny place to sit,

Left a little rustic,

And laid-back for sure,

inviting you to relax!

This one done very formal,

very tidy, yet still asking politely,

Won't you please come in?

Talk about colouring within the lines!
So exact, yet the garden is left to grow freely!
So bright, demanding your attention
and cheering at every glance!

Very similar house but with a garden

so well laid out and with such variety!

It's beginning to look like

 a little ginger bread house.

So sweet! 

Perfect scale and exact geometry,
Crisp and clean without fault!
Just glows in the sun and has the right amount of 
foliage and flowers to detail the elevation!

 Window boxes 

and flowering bushes soften and brighten this home,

a feminine touch to a masculine facade!

Generous space beckoning to sit a while

and enjoy a little shade in a cool garden.

Who wouldn't want to drop by?!

They've taken advantage of this corner lot 

and put in a wonderful garden that delights day or night!

The stone path leads through it to the front door seen in the distance-

Enchanting- it dares you to enter in!

Hope you felt welcomed by these Cabbagetown beauties,

or been inspired to dream,

if only for a time! 

 

Check out more homes in the blogs below!

 

 

Cabbagetown Style

So whimsical!
Just what you'd expect in this part of town!
Unfortunately there aren't too many Queen Anne Houses
but this one sure makes up for it!

Looks like Road TO Avonlea!

I expect to see Amerilla come out with a basket of apples to peel

for one of her pies!

How about this yellow brick

so regal but bright and cheery

with impeccable curb appeal! 

Handsome indeed!

 Many streets are lined with 

bay and gable style townhouses.

Elegance at it's finest!

Some mirrored and some slightly different,

all like Ladies in waiting ready for your arrival!

Some show off the Romanesque arch 
over the parlor or the entrance.
So stately are these like gentlemen of the town.

 The mansard roof makes a statement

of refined taste! 

Nestled beneath the trees and flanked by 

pretty gardens,

These homes cozy and cute beckon you in!

So sweet, this one welcomes you home 

after a hard day's work.

Honey, I'm home!!

 The workman's cottage,

so simple and welcoming!

An oasis in the city,

cozy and comfortable,

a welcome sight for sore eyes,

and muscles!

 That was a fine tour, but so many more houses to see. 

Stay tuned for more pics of houses in Toronto!
