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 residence. Five original fireplaces were meticulously restored and upgraded to gas, seamlessly marrying heritage charm with modern convenience. The current owners further elevated the home in 2020 with a bold reimagining by Farrow Design Ltd. and Cornerbrook Construction Inc., creating an exceptional upper-level family room and an open-concept living and dining area perfectly suited to today’s lifestyle. The home offers exceptional storage, including two mudrooms ideal for active family living. A sun-filled gourmet kitchen with a marble waterfall island, pantry cupboard, and appliance nook opens to the family room, making it a natural hub for daily life and entertaining. The primary suite features French doors leading to a private deck with views over the south-facing treetops and the city skyline. Additional highlights include a coveted private drive leading to a two-car garage, a full-house generator for peace of mind, and beautifully landscaped gardens with a stone deck and built-in stone BBQ—an ideal outdoor retreat. North Rosedale is one of Toronto’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, renowned for its excellent public and private schools, abundant green spaces including Chorley Park, Rosedale Park, the ravine system, Evergreen Brickworks, and Mooredale House community centre. Summerhill Avenue’s shops and services are nearby, with quick access to downtown via TTC or car, and close proximity to Bloor Street’s Mink Mile and the shops and restaurants of Yonge and Roxborough.
