Click here for many Pictures & Virtual TourSpectacular architectural-style reno-restoration...tastefully blending the best of old and new! SORRY...BUT THIS HOME HAS NOW SOLD FIRM!!....You'll find amazing space behind this tall brick Victorian facade(circa 1903). There's 3069 square feet spread over 5 levels in this home...main, 2nd, 3rd floors, 4th level lofts, and finished basement (floor plans are available). Let's start at the top where you'll find an immense 3rd floor self-contained apartment which you access from within the home. There are 2 lofts (4th level) within this 3rd floor apartment...one loft is a bedroom and the other is an office. The owner advises he has received approval for a 4th floor deck from the city (but has not built it). The 3rd/4th level suite features wonderful, soaring cathedral ceilings, 5 skylights, 2 fireplaces,and an open concept floor plan. There's a large sunny modern bath with deep soaker tub. A large family room or livingroom adjoins the kitchen. The newer, well appointed kitchen features a large centre island with breakfast bar and newer hardwood floors. There is a lovely dining area next to the wall of windows and double glass door walkout to a south-facing sundeck. Enjoy the "million dollar view" of Toronto's downtown city skyline from this apartment. This rare private treetop retreat is great for extended families. It could also be an owner's suite (and rent out the rest of the home). It could also be used by those needing to work from their home yet needing a separate office environment in which to write or concentrate (attention writers/ professors/ tekkies...let the kids rule the 2nd floor while you escape to the 3rd!). Continue down to the 2nd floor which features 4 bedrooms (most with hardwood floors) and a bright, new bathroom renovated in an elegant contemporary style with glass shower wall at one end. The main floor below features very high ceilings typical of the Victorian era. While there are distinct livingroom and diningroom areas, the design is open concept style. Continuity is enhanced by the rich new hardwood floors and the backdrop of the exposed brick wall alongside both rooms. The focal point is the handsome brick fireplace ... it's served as an inviting, warm gathering spot for many through the years. Go through to the back of the home, past the "maid's staircase", and on into the huge eat-in kitchen. Relax or entertain around the large centre island. Avid cooks will enjoy the ample counter space as work surfaces or buffet counters. There is also an abundance of cupboard and storage space within the custom wood cabinetry. This room is bright and sunny; lit by a lovely wide bank of leaded glass windows facing south. The view through the casement windows invokes a nostalgic "old world" feel with sunlight streaming through the vine-clad pergola onto the raised stone patio. Step through the french door to a private garden oasis; relaxing or dining ... it's perfect for summer outdoor living. Beyond the patio is an idyllic raised upper garden with tiered cascading pools to a fishpond. A few steps lead down to a lovely, lush perennial garden enclosing a well-kempt lawn and path to the garage and parking hidden beyond the gate (there's 2 car parking in total). Also tucked away at the back of the home is a separate entrance to the basement which is fully finished with high ceilings and excellent lighting. It's ideal for extra income or great for use by extended families as an extra suite or as a huge family room with kitchen/bar area. It's bright and open with a newer efficiency kitchen. A bathroom, sauna and utility room are immediately adjacent to the basement apartment; they can be used by a basement tenant and/or by the upstairs occupants so it's versatile. Throughout the home you will find an abundance of warm wood trim as well as details
