Property Description
This grand Edwardian residence in South Rosedale has been transformed to perfection by Severn Woods and MCR Interiors. Elevated above Pine Hill and Rosedale Road, the home presents a confident, fully custom and effortlessly current luxury residence within walking distance to both Yonge Street and Yorkville.
A wide cedar-and-glass-covered deck expands the home’s presence from below, while the formal foyer makes an unforgettable introduction to the home with heated marble floors, laid in a herringbone pattern, and custom closets that are discreetly integrated into the panelling, or customized with gorgeous rift cut Millwork.
Oversized windows flood the interiors with natural light while still maintaining privacy, thanks to the home’s remarkable elevation from the street. The dining room expands on the south side of this home, with ample room for all of your large-scale entertaining needs. A gas fireplace is recessed behind a wall of marble with unique bench clad seating, and a wine display recesses into the landscape of this room, adding dimension and interest.
The kitchen is, quite simply, just gorgeous, outfitted with solid wood dovetailed cabinetry, durable Dekton countertops, and oversized premium appliances. A cozy window bench recesses into the side bay window, breakfast bar seating is available for casual family dining, and a concealed walk-in pantry satisfies the practical needs of such a functional kitchen. The adjoining family room is framed within the east-facing oversized bay window and awards an ease to everyday family life that is so highly sought-after.
The breakfast room unfolds within the home’s glass addition. Positioned just off the kitchen, it serves as an elegant extension of daily living, equally suited to casual family meals, to have children do homework, or to bring a laptop to leisurely work from home. Adjacent to this, the glass wall opens to the outdoors, connecting to the barbecue area, the private driveway, and the two-car garage. Used as a frequent entry point by residents to the home, a landing is present to collect your keys and bags, and a large closet with automatic lighting collects coats and boots. Conveniently, a marble-clad powder room services all of these beautiful spaces on the main floor.
Carrying up the custom floating staircase with solid white-oak treads, the second floor astounds with the exposure of the second-floor study and sight lines through the glass addition and up Rosedale Road with its incredible historical architecture lining both sides.
The primary suite is a sanctuary, with an oversized king-sized bedroom, a generous sitting area, and a walk-out to a private terrace perched above Pine Hill Road. The walk-in closet with fully customized interiors offers LED-lighting inlays and a beautifully organized array of storage. Besides this, the ensuite bathroom astounds with a custom double vanity, a dedicated makeup area, a freestanding tub that is set into the bay window, and a separate walk-in shower and water closet.
Three additional bedrooms span the second and third floors, each with its own unique ensuite, ample storage, and light-filled proportions with exposure to the outdoors from two sides of the home.
The third floor is particularly enchanting, with bedrooms tucked into the roofline bays and a large family room recessed into the modern addition overlooking Rosedale Road. The family room offers a separate space for children to complete homework or retreat to their own media space.
The lower level reveals extraordinary scale with nine-foot ceilings, radiant in-floor heating, and abundant natural light from above-grade windows. An expansive recreation room with custom cabinetry and a dry bar can be tailored for play, media, or fitness, while a full nanny suite with a three-piece ensuite and an additional two-piece bath provides versatility. The laundry room is fully equipped with storage and full-sized machines, and a partially finished space offers potential for a sauna, plunge pool, or wine cellar.
Outside, the gardens have been refreshed with new sod and professionally hardscaped walkways, designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. A two-car garage and private driveway ensure seamless parking for residents of this fine home.
Positioned within an eight-minute walk to Rosedale subway station, Yorkville’s amenities, and literally steps to Branksome Hall, the home is surrounded by the city’s most distinguished residences.
This home was completely gutted to the studs, enlarged, and expanded to now offer over 5,200 square feet of interior living space on four impressive levels. The floors on the main floor and in the lower level are heated, there are two distinct forced air systems to balance heating and cooling throughout the year, and all appliances are brand new and strictly top of the line. Have confidence in this superb, custom crafted historical home set in the most coveted South Rosedale enclave and let this home impress you in performance and lifestyle advantages for years to come.
