Welcome to 248 Macpherson Avenue, an exquisite three-storey red brick Victorian residence nestled in the sought-after enclave of the Republic of Rathnelly, right at the heart of midtown Toronto. Perfectly positioned between the upscale neighbourhoods of Yorkville, South Hill, Summerhill, and the Annex, this remarkable home invites you to experience a harmonious blend of historical charm and modern elegance.
Boasting five plus one bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across four expansive floors, this home has been thoughtfully revitalized to meet the demands of contemporary living. Step inside to discover an open-concept kitchen and dining area illuminated by an abundance of natural light. The marriage of classic window mouldings, a stately original staircase, and gracefully high ceilings with a light-filled, modern kitchen creates an ambiance that’s both inviting and sophisticated.
From the moment you set foot on the property’s north side, you’ll be enchanted by the mature English garden that embraces the home. A pathway of interlocking stones leads you to the beautifully painted front porch, where the journey into elegance begins. As you enter through the impressive wood and glass doorway, the open-concept main level unfolds before you. The living room, with its south-facing windows overlooking the serene front garden, becomes a haven of tranquility. Hardwood floors, crown moulding, and an original gas fireplace exude a timeless character.
The living room seamlessly transitions into the updated eat-in kitchen, a culinary masterpiece adorned with marble countertops, a classic white subway tile backsplash, and an expansive central island. This island is not only a culinary hub but also a gathering place, accommodating both dining and conversation. The adjacent dining space, bathed in light from three windows, is perfect for hosting intimate dinners or larger gatherings, offering ample seating and a welcoming atmosphere.
Ascend the original solid wood staircase, where the second floor reveals three generously sized bedrooms and an updated family bathroom boasting modern amenities alongside an original claw-foot tub. The primary bedroom features a south-facing bay window design which captures abundant natural light with views to the lush front garden, as well as two generous double closets. The central, or second bedroom, provides ample closet space, with crown moulding and broadloom flooring, while the north-facing third bedroom provides a serene retreat with its hardwood floors, walk-in closet, and wall-mounted reading lights. Continue to the third floor, where two spacious bedrooms and a convenient powder room await, offering versatility as an office or cozy family room.
The lower level has been ingeniously transformed into a functional and luminous space as part of a comprehensive renovation. With pot lights illuminating a substantial area, the recreation room beckons for relaxation, play, and movie nights. It also provides access to a full three-piece bath with heated floors and a walk-in shower, along with abundant storage. An expansive sixth bedroom tucked away offers flexibility for guests or a serene nanny suite. Modern laundry facilities, complete with heated floors and ample storage, ensure convenience and efficiency.
Step into the backyard and find a newly constructed deck, a tranquil oasis enveloped in nature’s splendour. The garden’s rejuvenating ambiance is complemented by a brand-new perimeter fence and a built-in storage shed, ensuring privacy and security. Beyond the gate, accessible from the laneway, discover valuable three-car parking with potential for a two-storey laneway suite—an exciting opportunity for future expansion.
