77 Lowther Avenue is an elegant and skillfully refined Yorkville residence with interiors curated by James Davie. This south-facing Victorian home offers over 2700 square feet of interiors above grade, with gorgeous appointments and restored features that have resulted in a sophisticated residence in the epicentre of luxury in Toronto.
Upon arrival at the property, the two-car driveway is set between the historic gates of the home. A stone pathway connects to a charming covered porch with a built-in bench, equipped with a skylight feature to bring light into this welcoming vestibule.
Within the home, a gorgeous entry foyer with heated stone flooring leads to a concealed cloakroom and a designer-influenced powder room. The combined living and dining rooms are extraordinarily elegant and inviting.
Centred upon a new gas fireplace, the living room has ten-foot ceilings, preserved plaster mouldings, and a large bay window with a walk-out to the pretty city garden. The dining room can be expanded or retracted in size depending on your needed use of space and is unified with the living room as an elegant host for guests and family.
The large renovated kitchen is lined with solid wood custom cabinetry and topped with durable granite and marble (on the island). Appliances are of high-end quality, and a new centre island provides breakfast bar seating for two residents.
On the second floor, the king-sized primary bedroom has tree-top views, a tandem sun room, a large walk-in closet and a fabulous five-piece ensuite. The room has generous proportions to hold a king-sized bedroom suite, together with multiple other furnishings if desired.
The second-floor study can be used as a casual retreat for reading, television watching, or as a home office. It is lined with carefully selected wallpaper, lined with custom millwork and shelving, and equipped with a new gas fireplace.
On the third floor, there is additional space for returning children or visiting guests. Two bedroom suites occupy this level, one of which has an ensuite bathroom and the other with quick access to a renovated three-piece bathroom. Skylights and a sun tube on this level illuminate the bedrooms and cascade light down the wide and refurbished staircase.
On the lower level, the generous use of renovated interiors continues. A charming home office is lined with wallpaper, custom millwork and built-in shelves and offers light from the above-grade windows.
A laundry room with custom shelving and storage lies adjacent to a home gym with extra storage and access to a three-piece bathroom. A walk-in closet at the base of the stairs provides an excellent opportunity for seasonal items, wine storage, and audio components.
On the exterior, the rear city garden is just perfect. Beautifully landscaped and designed, it holds a private sitting area as well a covered dining room for alfresco dining opportunities all summer long.
Just steps from the incredible amenities, restaurants and boutiques of Yorkville, this location is without question one of the most convenient and coveted of all locations in Toronto. Walk to high-end boutique shops, art galleries, fine dining, Whole Foods, Equinox, The Royal Ontario Museum, The Royal Conservatory of Art, The Gardiner Museum, and the Bata Shoe Museum.
77 Lowther Avenue is a truly superb Yorkville residence that has been meticulously renovated, curated, and appointed in the epicentre of luxury in the City of Toronto. It is an outstanding offering to the market and is not to be missed.
