About this home

Stately Stone Tudor Set Against a Breathtaking Ravine Backdrop! Tucked away on a quiet crescent and backing directly onto the ravine and Beltline, this distinguished home offers a rare combination of elegance, space, privacy and an exceptional connection to nature-all in the heart of the city! An impressive 61-foot frontage provides an expansive foyer, generously proportioned principal rooms and the added convenience of an attached 1.5-car garage with a private 3 car heated driveway and heated walkway. This home even has its own Muskoka room! There is also a side door mudroom entrance with a closet for convenience. The extraordinary 200+ foot deep lot, framed by mature trees and lush greenery provides privacy and creates a truly serene, country-like setting. Spanning three storeys with five bedrooms and a fully finished lower level with a secondary kitchen, the home is designed for both family living and effortless entertaining. Multiple walk-outs from every level seamlessly extend the living space outdoors, while the lower level features three walk-outs to the ravine garden. The top tier garden is low maintenance AstroTurf, while underground sprinklers service both the front and lower-level gardens. A convenient rear gate provides direct access to the Beltline, making it easy to enjoy the surrounding trails and natural beauty. A truly special setting offering the best of both worlds: tranquil ravine-side living with exceptional access to transit, schools, shops and restaurants.
