You really don’t expect to find homes of this order downtown – remarkable in both scope and style. I look at it as timeless elegance, and the perfect home for gin tonics…

This remarkable family home sits on an estate-sized lot, on a leafy street in Toronto’s Dufferin Grove neighbourhood.

Extensively rebuilt and restored, the home evokes a time of graceful elegance, with oversized rooms spread over a rambling floor plan. Almost 4000sf of living space, plus a finished lower level. The main floor is ideal for entertaining, from the grand eat-in kitchen, to the dining room and adjoining living room. Further, a tiled west-facing sun room is ideal for year-round enjoyment, and a perfectly-proportioned artist’s studio is perfect for any pursuit.

Upstairs, the home provides 5 full-sized bedrooms, perfect for a growing family. The master itself is an calming sanctuary, with bespoke ensuite bathroom and its own private terrace overlooking the garden. The third floor is ideal as a teenager suite, with a small kitchenette and superb natural light.

The lower level is fully-finished and perfect as additional family living space.
