Neighbourhood: Rosedale Price: $3,699,000 Size: 3,187 square feet Bedrooms: 4+2 Bathrooms: 4

Real estate agent: Alex Brott, Sage Real Estate


The Place

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.

The History

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.
