About this home
Set on one of North Toronto's most storied streets, 124 Blythwood is a rare, yet handsome thing. A 1923 Georgian Colonial with Gambrel Roofline that has only deepened with time. Carefully proportioned living across the traditional centre hall plan, along with a modern addition with a sunken main floor family room with panoramic views of the pool and deep rear gardens. When not outside, this is the room the whole house gravitates toward. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary with a sitting area, generous closets, and a renovated ensuite overlooking the back gardens. The fully finished basement is a home within the home: a rec room with a gas fireplace and Murphy bed, a games room, a wine cellar, a cedar-lined walk-in, a workshop, and storage that actually solves problems. Outside, perennial gardens bloom spring through fall, a heated inground pool with diving board and waterslide anchors every summer, and the Ipe deck with electric awnings handles the overflow. Two-car garage with power for an EV charger. Full-home generator on 200-amp service - no outage disrupts this house. Independently inspected and rated above average for its age. Slate roof in excellent condition. Newer Daikin furnace and central air (2023), Mitsubishi split AC for the third floor. Maintained and improved with intention for decades. Blythwood JPS, Glenview, and Lawrence Park CI form the best school corridor in midtown. Lawrence Station is a 14-minute walk. The 401 is minutes away when the city needs a pause. This is the home you stop looking after you find it.
