The place 

Three-bedroom, five bathroom semi-detached house just steps from Summerhill Station. The three-storey house has white-oak millwork, 19-foot-high ceilings, and a wine refrigerator as tall as a basket ball hoop. Outside, there’s a heated parking pad (EV charger included) and a landscaped backyard. It’s within walking distance of David A. Balfour Park and the businesses on St. Clair. Mount Pleasant Road and DVP are within easy driving distance for motorists.

The history

The owner—a mortgage broker and developer—purchased the original vacant lot with the goal of building a new home and then selling it. Although a modernist, he chose to incorporate white brick, a window dormer, and the thin silhouette typical of Victorian-style townhouses in his neighbourhood. Construction was completed by the beginning of 2024. The property has never been occupied and is now for sale.

The tour

Residents are welcomed by the living area, which features a 10-foot high floor-to-ceiling glass window, a custom-made ethanol fireplace, polished concrete floors, and radiant heating.

The kitchen is just beyond, with white-oak cabinets that have been stained to match the home and a marble island that seats four. The ceiling above the kitchen sink stretches 19 feet.

Then there’s the dining area facing the backyard. That’s a super-tall integrated wine fridge on the left and subtle storage on the right.

The mini workstation can be hidden behind retractable door.

As you move up, the second-floor landing becomes visible.

Two bedrooms are located on the second level, with each having a three piece ensuite bathroom.

This is the second room, with a view over the neighbourhood.

Here’s a peek inside the second bedroom’s ensuite, with porcelain tiles and a rainfall shower head.

On the top floor, we have the main suite. It has its gas fireplace and built-in shelves, as well as a Juliet balcony that overlooks the backyard.

Here’s the Japanese-style walk-in closet, illuminated by a skylight.

And here’s the five-piece main ensuite. The bathroom is deceptively simple, with radiant flooring heating, a granite vanity, vaulted walls and a minimalist shower.

The theatre room is below, in the 700 square feet finished basement. It features a built-in screen (for now) and ceiling speakers.

The basement bathroom features a penny-tiled, black accented shower.

Finally, there’s the soon-to-be gym, lined with durable rubber flooring, a mirror wall and a recessed ceiling.
