About this home
In a city celebrated for its eclectic design and dynamic spirit, this breathtaking residence stands alone, a showpiece of contemporary design by award-winning Ancerl Studio. From the moment you arrive, its distinctive brick facade, copper detailing, and privately fenced corner lot evoke the quiet sophistication of a New York brownstone, seamlessly set within a vibrant Toronto neighbourhood. Inside, a world of extraordinary detail unfolds, a fusion of Parisian refinement and metropolitan sophistication throughout 3,600 square feet of finished living space across four storeys. A soaring two-storey mezzanine at the center sets a dramatic tone, while custom woodwork and sculptural lines anchor the home in both scale and intimacy. Custom furnishings, sweeping sightlines, and meticulously selected materials create a narrative of quiet luxury and timeless design. At its heart, this three-storey home with three plus one bedrooms and five bathrooms elevates both daily life and entertaining. The third level is an indulgent primary suite, complete with a walk-through dressing room, five-piece spa-like ensuite, marble fireplace, and private balcony with striking CN Tower views, an ever-present reminder of the city's pulse just beyond the serenity. The lower level offers a generous recreation room with natural light, private guest bedroom, full bathroom, a second laundry, and ample storage. Outdoors, landscaped rear gardens offer a tranquil escape. A stone patio off the main level creates an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living. The detached garage via laneway completes this urban sanctuary with seamless functionality. Every element reflects a commitment to design excellence and thoughtful craftsmanship, a singular opportunity to live beautifully in the heart of the city. The custom and curated furnishings and decor are included in the sale of the residence. *FENG SHUI certified by Master PAUL NG** *5 Wealth centers, plus powerful energy for Health & Relationships*
