Description

Not up for a renovation? This is a rare opportunity to own a masterfully renovated family home in the heart of prestigious North Rosedale. Originally known as "Chimneys" for its abundance of fireplaces, this elegant residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern design. Extensively renovated to the bricks in 2016 by JTF Homes under the guidance of designer Jay Gibson, the home's classic façade was preserved while the interiors were transformed into a sophisticated transitional-style home. Five original fireplaces were meticulously restored and upgraded to gas, harmonizing heritage charm with today's conveniences. The current owners further elevated the home in 2020 with a bold reimagining by Farrow Design Ltd. and Cornerbrook Construction Inc., adding refined touches by creating an incredible upper family room area in addition to an open concept living and dining room to suit today's living style. The home is filled with storage, with not just one but two mud rooms perfect for active family living! The sun-filled gourmet kitchen with a marble waterfall island, pantry cupboard, and appliance nook will please any chef and is open to the family room. The primary suite has French doors leading to a deck for both the south tree tops and the city skyline views. The coveted private drive leading to a 2-car garage is a definite bonus oasis the lovely landscaped gardens, stone deck with built-in stone BBQ. Full house generator to weather any storm or power outage.
