The shack has been transformed into a modern five-storey home. It has a steel frame and tall glass atrium, which floods the home with natural light. The homeowner told the Toronto Star that the fire department insisted that each level have a balcony or opening to the outdoors as a safety precaution. Outdoor space? Not a bad request, if you ask us.

The main level of the home has a large entryway and this cozy home office. We’re diggin’ the bold print wallpaper.

Here’s another look at the entryway, with this impressive hat wall.

The second level features this open-concept living space, with a kitchen, living room and dining room. The listing notes that the home has plenty of incredible features, such as reclaimed marble and stairs made from hardwood logs salvaged from Georgian Bay.

Here’s a better look at the kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, incredible tile work and a large kitchen island.

We’re also fans of the open shelving, stainless steel range hood and built-in kitchen cabinetry.

The small living room feels super cozy with the large area rug and fireplace mantel.

The dining room has plenty of seating with the built-in benches. We’re also lovin’ the bright artwork and large windows, which bring in a ton of natural light.

The stairs and glass atrium in this five-storey home are a thing of beauty.
