About This Listing

Experience a truly exceptional, fully rebuilt residence in the heart of the Annex, where timeless character meets uncompromising modern design. Completed in July 2023, this home retains only its original facade, with every other element thoughtfully reimagined to deliver over 3,400 square feet of refined living space across four levels. Inside, the home offers 3 spacious bedrooms on the second level, including a stunning principal retreat with a luxurious 5-piece ensuite, while a fully self-contained lower-level suite provides a fourth bedroom or ideal in-law accommodation with its own kitchen, laundry, and private walkout. In total, five beautifully appointed washrooms serve the home, each finished with elevated materials and meticulous attention to detail. Designed by Lyndsay Jacobs Interiors and featured in House & Home and Timeless Living, the interiors showcase custom millwork, restored 1878 stained glass, white oak herringbone floors, and hand-selected marble and limestone finishes imported from Greece. A dramatic three-storey staircase, illuminated by skylights, fills the home with natural light, while curved architectural lines and premium fixtures from Waterworks, Kallista, and Forbes & Lomax create a cohesive, elevated aesthetic throughout. The kitchen is both functional and striking, anchored by custom cabinetry, a 17-foot floating Nero Borghini marble shelf, premium Thermador appliances, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow through a 10-foot bifold door. The living spaces extend outdoors to a beautifully landscaped yard designed for entertaining, as well as a rooftop terrace complete with a saltwater hot tub and gas hookup-offering breathtaking treetop and CN Tower views. The lower level is equally impressive, featuring a custom media room with integrated Bowers & Wilkins surround sound, a 400-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar, and thoughtful additions such as a dog wash station and extensive built-in storage.
