This Grande Dame of Lawrence Park is an absolute treasure. Sitting on a 96 x 144 foot wide double lot set back from the street on a hill, this majestic home greets you with a rare combination of warmth and elegance. A centre hall plan seamlessly offers a formal living room to the left and sophisticated office to the right, before leading down the hall to the separate formal dining room with a stamped metal tile ceiling. The bright family kitchen overlooking the stunning yard is a delight with a large centre island and premium stainless steel appliances. The adjoining breakfast room with banquet seating overlooks an oversized family room, with built-in shelving, separate desk area and fireplace. French doors lead to a stunning outdoor haven with a covered outdoor deck, an inground pool and cabana under a canopy of trees. A chic powder room and side-door mudroom round out this traditional elegant main floor. Five generous-sized bedrooms, one with an ensuite, along with a three-piece bath and full-size laundry make up the substantial second floor, with room for everyone in the family. The third floor primary suite is a serene oasis with an oversized five-piece bath, two large walk-in closets, two balconies flanking each side of the room and floor, and an especially spacious living space, making it the perfect retreat. The lower level offers an oversized recreation/media room with a kitchen conveniently attached, a nearby sauna, a private wine cellar, utility room and plenty of storage. Built in 1913 and extensively redesigned in 1996, this distinguished home is a rare find in the city. Boasting a total of 6,000 square feet over four floors this classic Edwardian offers endless opportunities to convene as a family or entertain both indoors and out.
