A four-plus-two-bedroom, four-bathroom 1914 Craftsman on a leafy corner lot in South Rosedale. Its façade is defined by leaded windows, classic bay windows and a lush veranda. Inside, all floors are open and come bathed in natural light. It’s within walking distance of Castle Frank station, Evergreen Brick Works and the many restaurants and bars on the Danforth. And motorists are a short drive from the DVP, Bayview and Davenport.
This property has been owned by the same family for 20 years. Since 2015, they’ve been renovating to enhance the home’s heritage beauty. Updated features include new air conditioning and garage roofing, luxury appliances, and spruced-up bathrooms.

The century-old brick house sits on a corner lot shrouded by mature trees.
Walking up the front steps reveals a stately wood-and-glass front door beneath a cozy veranda, with plenty of room to watch the neighbourhood go by.
In the foyer: tons of natural light and principal rooms on either side.
To the left of the foyer is the open living room, anchored by an elegant bay window. To the left is the first of three fireplaces.
The dining room sits on the opposite end of the house and is accentuated by tasteful wainscoting and white-oak floors.
Heading to the kitchen highlights stainless steel appliances from Miele and Maytag, plus stainless steel counters and tons of storage.
The sunroom comes with a wall of windows, more hardwood floors and a clever storage banquette.
There are three bedrooms and two shared bathrooms on the second floor.
This bedroom is equipped with the house’s second fireplace and a window lounge overlooking Rosedale’s robust tree canopy.
Century-old, period-specific leaded windows bring tons of vintage charm.
This bathroom features the home’s original clawfoot bathtub.
Here’s one of the bedrooms that has been set up for kids, also with a charming bay window.
And here’s a peek inside the corner office.
The entire third floor belongs to the main suite.
The main ensuite bathroom has a big walk-in shower with a built-in bench.
Now for the basement, which could function as a rental unit or a granny suite.
This is the basement bedroom.
There’s one more fireplace in the basement living room, which could easily be converted into an office or a rec room. Note all the storage cubbies.
Finally, the fenced-in backyard is lined with a brick-and-limestone patio—ideal for family barbecues or wine with friends.
