My husband and I were living happily as Annex renters. Then, in 2020, we got pregnant and needed a place to raise a family

My husband, Michel, an architect by training working in the construction industry, and I were living a happy life as renters.

We loved how close Bathurst station was. We loved Bloor.yet we couldn’t afford the downtown market. If Michel and I were to buy a house outright, it would have had to be outside the city.

I’ll admit, I was initially worried about how Michel would react to the idea of living with his in-laws. But he was on board from the start. He wanted a new family home as much as I did.
