This is what we call a shoebox house in Montreal. There are quite a few in my neighbourhood. See more in this article. Mind you, these are pictures of the pretty ones, they are not all as cute, but not many are as far recessed from the street either.
The earliest source I can find is a Tumblr post from Dec 2015, but I could not locate the address. You may be able to get in touch with that account, though it's a long shot given the age of the post.
You could try reverse image search but I don’t suspect you won’t find much more info.
No joy but I did find this remarkably similarly sited building. Itmaybequitecommon. Apparently part of a class of buildings the Chinese call nail houses.
I am used to seeing this sort of thing a a back yard in old cities, but not the front like this. If I was living in city this would be what I would want to rock.
Ah too bad. I kinda want to find more like it. You could put up a facade on the street and have like a secret home. Might be a good option in some decaying citys.
