About this home

In Feng Shui it is said, that a meandering path enables us to shed the cares of the day before arriving home, turning aggressive energy into a gentle nourishing current. Your walk into 331/2 Henry St will be languorous,helping you unwind before you walk in. This treehouse was Designed By Claude Liger-Belair, Architect and Photographer who positions the house and rooms to take Advantage of their Natural Environment,akin to Frank Lloyd Wright. Originally practicing in Lebanon, his work moved to Toronto where a lot of his residential pieces are still undocumented. The house soars into the sky like a tower of nature, foliage and light. 4 stories of Light,windows, space,design, & treetop views. A sweeping main floor is open and inviting with soaring ceilings. The woodburning firelace is a great spot to relax with a warm brandy or sweet hot chocolate. 3 big bedrooms and an office, all space interchangeable for a multitude of uses. The third floor loft space with a true Juliette balcony is an artist's retreat or the perfect place to write your memoir or a warm retreat for sleeping. 3 bathrooms and the rooftop deck....ahhhhh the rooftop deck, pleasure and privacy in the centre of it all. It is a herb garden with water and power. The cedar wrapped pergola creates a place to relax and find solace. A lower floor AIR B&B leases out at 2500$/month to visiting profs from UOFT or visiting doctors. It is registered, insured and separate. 3 decks, with space to eat & cook & drink & lounge adorn this tower of delight. Laneway access parking in the back is invaluable.
