For sale: Detached

This distinctive detached home in the heart of Yonge & Lawrence is one of those rare properties where the craftsmanship of another era has been beautifully preserved. Magnificent original wood paneling, rich hardwood floors, substantial trim and millwork, built-in cabinetry, stained-glass accents and a striking fireplace surround create a warmth and authenticity that is increasingly difficult to find. The original woodwork gives this home a remarkable sense of architectural richness and permanence. Generous windows fill the rooms with natural light, complementing the warmth of the wood and creating an inviting atmosphere throughout. And then there is the location. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, established residential neighborhood surrounded by mature trees and beautiful homes, while being just steps from the energy and convenience of Yonge Street. Walk to Wanless Park, shops, restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, banks and everyday services. TTC transit is nearby, making commuting and exploring the city convenient. Families will appreciate the area's outstanding selection of educational opportunities, with public, Catholic and private schools available throughout the surrounding Lawrence Park community, from elementary through high school. This is a rare combination: a detached character home, exceptional original craftsmanship, a mature family-oriented neighborhood, excellent access to schools and green space, and outstanding walkability and transit connectivity .**More than simply a house, this is a home with a story-one where original character has been preserved rather than erased. A wonderful opportunity to make it your own while enjoying the architectural details that make it truly special.
