House of the week: 9 Drumsnab Road

Tucked away near the ravine wall that leads to the Don River, Drumsnab Road is one of Toronto's nicest and oldest streets. Many contend that the house after which the street is named is the oldest continually occupied residence in the city, dating back to 1834.

A stone terrace leads out to an elegantly designed pool that looks like a little oasis despite the proximity of the house to Bloor St. and downtown Toronto.
