This charming family home, built in 1945 and extensively restored in 2010, captures the warmth of an English countryside cottage, long admired in the neighbourhood. Tucked into a lush corner of Sunnylea, the property is framed by perennial gardens to the north and south, bathing the interiors in natural sunlight while ensuring both beauty and privacy. Its Tudor Revival style is defined by pitched gabled roofs with distinctive red shingles, a classic stone façade, and diamond-paned leaded windows that reinforce its timeless appeal.
Inside, the home blends old-world craftsmanship with modern conveniences. The family kitchen, both inviting and spacious, features an AGA range, marble work surfaces, a breakfast area, and an adjoining family room with a wood-burning fireplace — a wonderful hub for dinners, casual entertaining, and children’s homework. The formal dining room, richly panelled and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with stone mantel and surround, offers an elegant backdrop for gatherings. The living room, complemented by a sunny office nook with vaulted, wood-panelled walls, adds warmth and creates an inspiring workspace.
Upstairs, a distinctive split layout separates the private primary suite with ensuite from a separate wing that offers two additional bedrooms with a shared family bath. The lower level expands the home’s footprint with a recreation room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, an additional bedroom, and a full bath — ideal for guests, a teenager’s retreat, or flexible home-office use.
This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. Sunnylea is one of Etobicoke’s most coveted enclaves, celebrated for its quiet, tree-lined streets, mature vegetation, and enduring “country charm” within the city. It is also one of Toronto’s most sought-after family communities, thanks to Sunnylea Junior School — consistently ranked among the city’s top elementary schools. Just down the street from Sunnylea Park and nestled between Mimico Creek and the Humber River, this is a neighbourhood where families put down roots, knowing their children will thrive in both school and community.
