This is a 3+1 bedroom, 2 bathroom detached house on a 23.25 x 135 foot lot with front pad parking and a garage for 2 cars at the back at 34 Donegall Drive in Leaside.

It's a good looking house on the outside (not sure what's going on with the eaves).

And when I saw the interior, there was a bit of a shock.

I was NOT expecting this...

And I like it.

It's not a huge house and this is a good way to keep the living room separate from the front door.

It reminded me of the Beaches house at 238 Kenilworth Avenue that had a similar wall separating the family room from the rest of the main floor...

The rest of this house is done well.  It's a good kitchen and I like how it is open to the family room but not to the dining room.

Upstairs, the bedrooms aren't huge but they are a good size for young family.  And there is a good basement with good ceiling height. 

It's hard to tell what the backyard is like, and it looks really small.  But it's on a 135 foot lot so I am guessing it is bigger than it shows in the photos.

This house was listed at $1,189,000.

It sold...
