An elegant and refined Yorkville residence on Lowther Avenue, this stately red brick historical home with masterfully curated interiors by James Davie performs beautifully from both an aesthetic and functional sense of reasoning. The Victorian facade is set behind iron gates which open to allow for one car parking in front of the home. Walking up the stone staircase, a charming covered front porch with a built-in bench leads to the foyer within the home, equipped with heated floors, views of the garden, and a concealed cloak and powder room. The main floor then opens to an astounding combined living and dining room with over ten foot ceilings, rich crown mouldings, a new gas fireplace, and a floor-to-ceiling bay window with views to the gorgeous courtyard garden. At the front of the home, the kitchen is lined with solid wood cabinetry, top of the line appliances and a centre island with breakfast bar seating. On the second floor, a magazine-worthy library is centered upon a new gas fireplace and lined with custom millwork shelves, and designer wallpaper. Across the hall, the primary bedroom is a sanctuary in and of itself with king-sized proportions, a gas fireplace, a tandem sitting room with treetop views, a large walk-in closet with fully customized interiors, and a fabulous five-piece ensuite bathroom. Carrying up the noticeably wide staircase, the third floor holds two additional bedroom suites, one with a four-piece ensuite and the other access to a renovated three-piece bathroom. These are generous rooms for guests, home offices, or returning children, while skylights and a sun tube lightening this floor. The carefully curated spaces continue in the lower level with a fully renovated home office, a home gym, laundry room, three-piece bathroom and multiple storage closets. The gardens are picture perfect, private, landscaped and a delightful sitting or entertaining space with a covered dining room.
