A sleek interloper amid Bayview’s McMansions By Kelvin Browne
Where: 70 Bayview Ridge (near York Mills and Bayview)
Bedrooms: Four, all ensuite,
including a master with his and hers bathrooms
Bathrooms: Six full, one powder room, and a bathroom– change area in the gym
Size: Approximately 7,500 square feet, plus a 3,000-square-foot basement with rec room, wine cellar, nanny’s suite and cedar closets
Asking Price: $4.3 million
Drive-by: The large lots and
luxuriant landscaping don’t disguise the fact the Bayview neighbourhood is the tear-down capital of Canada. So it’s remarkable that this elegant, contemporary home has survived intact since its 1988 construction amid various new, faux-Georgian McMansions, including several formidable piles overlooking the manicured greens of the Rosedale Golf Club. Aside from the nearby Ron Thom house, a superb Shim-Sutcliffe house a couple blocks north and a Patkau Architects opus under construction two streets away, this Young & Wright home is a rare beacon of good design.
