The place

A just-completed two-plus-one-bedroom, three-bathroom home on the third floor of a new complex in the heart of Rosedale. A welcome mix of traditional materials and contemporary form, the boutique building houses 27 units whose prices range from $7 million to $20 million. It’s surrounded by greenery and within walking distance of both Sherbourne and Castle Frank stations. And motorists are a short drive from Rosedale Valley Road and the DVP.

The history

The builder designed this condo with wealthy downsizers in mind, enlisting a who’s who of Toronto talent including architects Hariri Pontarini, landscape architects Janet Rosenberg and Studio, and interior designers Studio Munge. Now, it’s ready for its first owner.

The tour

Rosenberg and team made sure that each unit had expansive views and easy access to the surrounding gardens and courtyards.

The development is actually two buildings connected by this shimmering entrance that leads to the lobby and underground garage.

Here’s that lobby. Shared amenities include a 24-hour concierge, a fitness centre, a sauna, a massage room, an automated parking system, EV chargers, and valet and porter service.

In the foyer, residents are greeted by marble floors. That’s the private elevator on the right.

The rest of the property has white-oak flooring and 10-foot ceilings throughout. Note the window nook in the living-dining space—a perfect perch for a piano.

Here’s a closer look at the dining area, with a funky chandelier.

Now for the first of two balconies, both of which face south over Rosedale Valley. This one has a gas grill.

Partial walls punctuate the space for design variance and pockets of privacy.

The kitchen comes with custom cabinets, marble all over and Gaggenau appliances, including a speed oven, a convection oven, a warming drawer, a gas cooktop, a wine fridge and a dishwasher.

This lounge is in the building’s southwest corner, which receives all-day sunlight thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows.

This is the second balcony, complete with a primo view of the Yorkville skyline.

The main suite also overlooks the ravine and is equipped with alcove lighting.

This is the walk-in closet, designed for two.

And this is the six-piece main ensuite bathroom, with more marble and bespoke millwork.

Note the giant soaker tub.

Here’s a peek inside the second bedroom.

It also has an ensuite, with heated floors and a floating vanity.

The laundry room has even more storage.

There’s a peaceful gazebo of sorts in the courtyard.

Lastly, here’s a view of the shared gardens.
