Welcome to 48 Duncannon Drive, an architecturally exquisite, detached family home which has been thoughtfully re-designed. The house balances a modern, warm style and functionality while maintaining the tranquil and private setting as a focal point. Perfectly situated in beautiful Upper Forest Hill on the best part of a tree-lined street with a sun-filled west exposure, this home offers it all. An impressive curb appeal with a rich red brick façade, a flagstone pathway surrounded by well- manicured gardens and a private driveway with ample parking. This home is surrounded by majestic, mature trees, creating the utmost privacy in the heart of the city.
Fully renovated, the owners thoughtfully curated every architectural detail and design to take advantage of the beaming natural sunlight throughout the house and utilizing the envelope of trees that surround the property as inspiration for their design. It truly feels like you are living amongst the trees.
Upon entering the bright and airy foyer, one is immediately struck with a Californian vibe, and you’re greeted with a stunning sightline all the way to the near wall-to-wall glass doors that span the entire rear of the home.
The main floor is complete with white oak herringbone flooring throughout, and beautiful, all-new black linear framed windows. The main floor open concept layout makes it the perfect space for a family gathering, and a rear two storey addition provides an additional two hundred square foot of living space with a flexible floor plan. The spacious living room has a fireplace flanked by two perfectly placed enlarged windows, and stunning bay window which overlooks the front gardens. As a nod to the owner’s attention to detail, the bay windows have customized window blinds that blend into the window frame when open.
The impressive chef’s kitchen has been impeccably finished with custom cabinetry and showcases an oversized 9-foot island with Caesarstone countertops and seating for four. The kitchen is complete with high-end appliances and stunning gold accents throughout.
The open concept dining room is ideally situated with amazing sightlines to both the living room and kitchen, providing a wonderful entertainment space that is ideal for relaxing with family or entertaining guests. A striking back wall of glass doors overlook the spacious rear terrace with a walk-out to a large, fully composite deck that spans the length of the wall. The unobstructed views bring the lush outdoors into the interior of the home. The private powder room is perfectly tucked away and completes this main level with custom wallpaper, a floating vanity, and gold accents.
The upper level is equally as impressive where the wide-plank, white oak hardwood floor continues throughout the hallway and in every room. The spacious primary bedroom could easily fit a sitting area with two large windows and offers an impressive 13-foot walk-in closet with custom built-in organizers.
A new spa-inspired primary five-piece ensuite bathroom boasting an oversized his-and-hers 11-foot glass enclosed double shower that runs the entire length of the wall, with penny tile surround and shampoo niches for each. A beautiful in-shower window looks out into the backyard, with the privacy of the mature trees providing a relaxing view. The ensuite bathroom continues as carefully chosen black hardware is used throughout, from shower heads and faucet taps to the black trimmed private window overlooking the treetops. An oversized floating his-and- hers double vanity with ample storage makes this an ideal shared space.
Two additional well-appointed bedrooms boast more black-trimmed windows, and ample closet space.
The renovated main bathroom completes the upper level with a double floating vanity, bathtub/shower combination with stylish and playful scalloped tile surround and shampoo niche. Matching brass-coloured hardware is used throughout.
The recently updated lower level offers a private side entrance, a spacious recreation room with newly installed high-end wool carpet, as well as an additional space that could easily be turned into a home office or fourth bedroom. The laundry space is equipped with new front-loading Samsung washer and dryer, and an oversized storage room.
The manicured rear gardens are extremely private with beautiful mature trees enveloping the background, creating the feeling of a secluded forest paradise. Enjoy the new 19-foot composite deck, which spans the wall-to-wall sliding doors and allows for seamless indoor/ outdoor living and the perfect space for entertaining guests.
Ideally situated in prime Forest Hill, the house is near a wonderful strip of Eglinton Ave complete with shops, including Summerhill Market, boutiques, bakeries, and restaurants. Easy access to TTC and the soon to be completed Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
Only a short walk to some of Toronto’s most premier greenspaces and trails, including the Kay Gardiner Beltline which offers access to a beautiful trail spanning midtown, and makes for wonderful walks, runs or bicycle rides in all four seasons.
In school district for the highly coveted Oriole Park Junior School which is a short walk away, and near Toronto’s top private schools, including Bishop Strachan School, Upper Canada College, Havergal College, St. Clement’s and Greenwood. Wonderful neighbours with beautiful gardens and a great sense of community.
