Buying a Canadian Dream

where I summit someone's ideal life

⁠

We bought

145 Catalina Drive⁠

in May 2020 during round 1 of the world v. Covid.

The Toronto housing market had stalled, so we got the place for a good price at an unheard of interest rate.

We moved in August, leaving behind our urban apt at Yonge & Davisville, which felt cramped under pandemic restrictions.

⁠

The Guildwood neighbourhood seemed idyllic, serene - a coherent element of a sought-after pattern.

Downtown TO was now a 45 min drive, but I felt so much closer to the things I cared about: family and nature.
