Nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of Cedarvale Ravine, this exquisite two-bedroom “city residence” pairs a charming exterior with meticulously maintained interiors that radiate elegance, offering a one-of-a-kind lifestyle defined by quiet luxury and rare privacy.

Perfect for professional singles/couples, remote workers or first-time buyers seeking a sophisticated city residence. It’s enveloped by lush greenery, with a private garden oasis, flagstone patio, and a custom wrought iron staircase leading to a secluded “pocket garden”.

Inside, the aura of craftsmanship and comfort is unmistakable. The oversized living and dining area—bright, elegant, and inviting—offers a perfect setting for both intimate gatherings and lively entertaining. At the rear, a sunlit room with tranquil garden views provides exceptional versatility: ideal as a bedroom, office, or family/media room, complete with a full four-piece bathroom and access to garden.

Upstairs, the loft unfolds as a truly spectacular primary suite—a serene sanctuary divided into distinct sleeping, dressing, sitting, and bathroom zones beneath soaring ceilings. The sitting area is framed by soaring windows and French doors with a custom wrought iron Juliette balcony, drawing the eye to the ravine’s treetop canopy. Antique pine floors, bespoke closets, and finely crafted built-ins enhance both beauty and function. The spa-inspired bathroom is pure indulgence, with a pebble-floored shower and slate bench, deep soaker tub, and handcrafted pine and slate cabinetry.

The bright lower level extends the home’s appeal with a versatile room that can be a gym, office, guest room or family room with abundant storage, and garden walk-out. A wine cellar—holding over 1,500 bottles behind an antique stained-glass door—completes this exceptional offering.

The location is midtown at its finest; steps to the glory of Cedarvale Ravine, minutes to Leo Baeck and to the offerings of St. Clair West, Wychwood Barns, Humewood PS, St Clair West subway and Forest Hill Village as well as St Mike’s, UCC, BSS – some of the best private schools in the country.
