Expect the unexpected as you enter this architecturally distinct 5-bedroom residence in South Rosedale, offered for the first time in over 30 years. Reimagined in 1987, this home seamlessly combines character, whimsy, and timeless elegance—there is truly nothing else like it. Set on a remarkable lot with 50 feet of frontage and nearly 300 feet in depth, the property offers rare privacy and tranquility just minutes from Yonge & Bloor, Summerhill shops, and elite public and private schools.
Nestled on a gently tiered ravine lot with ample table land, the home enjoys a park-like ambiance with mature trees and thoughtfully landscaped gardens, creating an urban sanctuary. From the moment you step into the main entry, intriguing sight lines draw your attention through to the open atrium at the rear of the home, setting the tone for the architectural wonders within.
The traditional living room, accessed through an elegant reception area, features high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent, the expansive dining room accommodates large gatherings, overlooking the dramatic two-story courtyard. The sun-filled kitchen, floating above the atrium, is bathed in natural light and open to the courtyard, offering stunning views of the west-facing garden.
On the courtyard’s lower level, white-painted brick walls, terracotta tile flooring, and soaring ceilings evoke a Mediterranean village. This dynamic space extends to a cozy media room, a games area, and a walkout to the lush garden beyond.
Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms offer serene retreats, including the primary suite with bay windows, a sitting area, wood-burning fireplace, and a 3-piece ensuite with a walk-in closet plus a dressing area. A second-floor balcony provides peaceful views of the west-facing garden.
Complete with a private driveway, two-car parking, and an attached garage currently used for garden storage, this home effortlessly blends urban living with secluded charm.
