The freehold property spans a total of 2542.9 sq. ft. and consists of 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, 3 kitchens, and multiple living and dining areas.

The interior of 120 McGill St is more up-to-date than its Victorian facade.

Instead of antique floors and gas-lamps you’ll find pot-lights, laminates, and smooth 10-foot ceilings with crown molding.
More significant changes include the windows, roof, deck, furnace, air conditioner and hot water tank, all of which were upgraded in 2015.

120 McGill’s renovations are starkest in the kitchens, which were remodelled in 2014.
The main floor kitchen boasts a stylish back-splash, plentiful storage with built-in lights, ceramic floors, a separate dining area and recessed lighting.

It also comes with modern stainless steel appliances such as an oven, fridge, dishwasher and range hood.
The main floor also has a bedroom with a solid entry door.

At 9.4 by 14.7 sq. ft., its got enough room for a queen-sized bed and plenty of furniture.

It also carries the latest appliances, such as a stainless-steel fridge, microwave, cooktop and ultra-modern rangehood.

The 2nd floor bedroom is incredibly tall and spacious, with room to spare for a vanity, ottoman and other furniture.
Plus it’s decked out in dark laminates, pot-lights, a bay window, and a 3-piece ensuite bath.
