In the heart of the Annex, this exquisitely redesigned three-storey single-family home blends refined design with exceptional everyday livability. Gutted to the studs and thoughtfully reimagined by Palmerston Designs in 2019, it was crafted for elevated family living with warmth, function, and style.The main floor makes an unforgettable first impression with wide plank white oak floors throughout, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and a rebuilt staircase with sleek modern railings. The heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen with a dramatic 12-foot island, integrated appliances, induction stove, drinks fridge, deep farmhouse sink, multiple floor-to-ceiling pantries, and added windows that fill the space with light. A powder room and coat closets complete this level. Sliding glass doors open to a tiered deck and an extraordinarily deep private garden beneath a mature tree canopy, creating a rare urban retreat for entertaining and quiet family moments alike.The upper floors offer an outstanding family layout. The second floor features two spacious bedrooms, each with a dedicated bathroom, a separate family room, plus a laundry room. The entire third floor is devoted to a luxurious primary retreat with exposed brick, vaulted ceilings with exposed architectural beams, abundant natural light, a walk-in closet, spa-inspired ensuite, private balcony, and a flexible lofted space ideal for a home office, lounge, nursery, or creative studio. The 2nd floor family room and 3rd floor loft space could be enclosed for additional bedrooms if so desired. The finished lower level, with tall ceilings and a separate entrance, is set up as a dream home gym and offers incredible versatility. A rare opportunity to own a truly design-forward family home on a deep lot in one of Toronto's most coveted neighbourhoods. Steps to Dupont Subway Station, Jean Sibelius Park, top rated public and private schools and the bustling retail of Bloor Street plus fine dining on the Dupont Strip.
