Nestled in its hillside lot, the multi-level home features ample covered outdoor space.

Since the photo shoot, the couple have placed a desk in the triangular window nook and use the perch as a workspace. “There’s just something about it that hugs you,” says Shelley. “I feel very focused and relaxed when I’m here.”

Karen White, David MacNaughtan, and their sons, Griffin and Finlay, hang out on the front deck, which lines up next to the neighbors' porch.

Panoramic views are just the tip of the iceberg for this five-story, loft-like residence in the heart of Kensington Market.
