This west end home looks like a great space, but that’s an awful lot of tchotchkes to dust. And only a two car garage!

ADDRESS: 65 Avonhurst Road

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Islington-City Centre West

PRICE: $1,880,000

THE PLACE: A five-bedroom Etobicoke house with a geometric exterior and a modern, airy interior.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: The home was designed by one of the principals of Van Elsander Carter Architects, known for the light-filled Sidney Smith Café at U of T and the recently shuttered but still beautiful Ford Models Canada space.

BIG SELLING POINT: Walls of windows look onto a peaceful backyard with a rock sculpture waterfall, 15-foot bamboo walls and a veritable arboretum, including apple trees, southern evergreen magnolias and Japanese maples.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Unless you, too, have a Noguchi coffee table and Barcelona chairs, your interiors may not look as polished.
