The place
A five-plus-one-bedroom, seven-bathroom homeJust north of Casa Loma lies a 16 by 66 metre back lot that overlooks the densely-forested Nordheimer Ravine. The property also has a lower floor built for staff with a separate kitchen, a laundry room, and a summer garden. It’s within walking distance of St. Clair West station, and motorists are a short drive from both Vaughan Road and Avenue Road.
The History
The current owners are a young family who bought this property in the year 2021. They’re now looking for something smaller as the kids approach adulthood. While various owners have renovated over the years, the majority of the house’s original elements remain intact, including its hand-painted cupola.

The tour
The house faces south, and the driveway is paved with stone. Both the front and rear gardens are equipped with sprinkler systems.
Here’s a first look into the home from the front door. That’s the office on the left and the main suite at the end of the hall.
This view shows the foyer from the reverse. Yes, that’s a creepy calavera sitting on the right.
The house’s most stunning feature is this hand-painted cupola, inspired by Italian architecture.
Here’s that office, with a marble fireplace, intricate wainscoting, wide-plank oak hardwood and built-in bookshelves (not pictured).
In the kitchen, there are Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Wolf stainless-steel gas cooktop, Miele dishwashers, custom cabinets, marble backsplash, and quartz counters.
The farmhouse sink is a nice contrast to all the opulence.
The current owners removed all the house’s window coverings for maximum natural light and spectacular views.
Almost every room in the house faces the backyard thanks to the building’s tall and slender design.
The living room is equipped with a gas fire place surrounded by French antique stone.
The formal dining room with another fireplace.
There’s also a two-piece powder room on the main floor.
Now, the main bedroom. Lined with a wall of windows, it’s large enough to set up a lounge or workspace.
There are also two walk-in wardrobes.
Here’s the main ensuite bathroom, with dual vanities, a hot tub and marble all over.
The lower level is where the rest of the bedrooms are located. They are hidden from view by the street and built to the grade of a ravine.
This second kitchen is perfect for summer dining in the backyard patio. It includes an LG refrigerator, a Miele dishwashing machine and a Panasonic microwavable.
Next door, you will find the fitness center.
Here’s a look at the family area.
The climate-controlled cellar is located down the hall, with oak shelving, wrought-iron doors and coffered roofs.
The bedroom below has a large wardrobe that could be used as an office or storage room.
The laundry room is equipped with Samsung machines. It’s accessible from a separate entrance.
Here’s a view of the rear of the home—almost like a heritage apartment building you’d expect to see in Yorkville.
The property backs up to Nordheimer Ravine. This is a surreal getaway just steps away from the city.
