At the crossroads where Rosedale and Summerhill meet, 48 Shaftesbury Avenue stands as a testament to bespoke elegance and skilled artistry. Each element of its construction – including the hand-formed bricks, fired in artisans’ kilns and laid with meticulous care – reflects a dedication to artisanship rarely seen in modern homes.
This property is a seamless fusion of Victorian inspiration and contemporary design, enveloped in pristine white Danish brick, and adorned with a standing seam metal roof, and an elegant landscaping plan. Its façade opens into spaces that emanate calm and elevated simplicity.
The main level is a design-inspired sanctuary, where Venetian plaster and wood-panelled walls impart a sense of tranquillity throughout. A convenient coat closet is discretely tucked away in the foyer. Warmth radiates from the heated polished concrete floors, while contemporary oak millwork adds a touch of sophistication. The family room is perfect for entertaining and features a built-in media wall and an ethanol fireplace designed to provide the ambiance of an open fire along with the comforting warmth of real flames and an extensive floor-to-ceiling picture window.
The chef’s kitchen is central to the serene main-floor layout. It is a culinary dream outfitted with top-tier appliances from Wolf, Sirius, Miele, and Sub-Zero, all set against the elegance of honed silver root marble countertops and island. The dining room features custom white oak built-in storage and a wine fridge and is framed by an expansive window wall connecting the indoors with the curated backyard for a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. A convenient powder room with a custom stone wall-mounted sink, a one-piece tankless toilet, and comforting radiant floor heating complete this inviting space for living and entertaining.
The second level is reminiscent of an elegant gallery, with its light-filled atrium hallway offering views into the kitchen and leading to the sun-drenched south-facing second bedroom. This bedroom boasts expansive built-in closets, multiple windows for natural light, and a central vacuum. It is complemented by an ensuite bathroom with a custom vanity, glass-enclosed double-length shower, and Toto automated toilet, enhancing the blend of luxury and practicality with in-ceiling speakers.
The north-facing bedroom features white oak hardwood floors and wall-to-wall built-ins with a lit clothing bar set against the backdrop of a large window overlooking the garden. Custom light fixtures and in-ceiling speakers add to the ambiance, with the ensuite bathroom maintaining the home’s high standards through its standing glass shower and automated Toto toilet.
Both bedrooms showcase custom closet cabinetry finished with Venetian plaster and accented by decorative bed light sconces and pendants. The bathrooms uphold the essence of luxury with Caesarstone countertops, marble and mosaic tiles, radiant in-floor heating, and glass shower enclosures, ensuring every aspect of the second level radiates comfort and elegance.
The third level boasts an exquisite primary suite that is a testament to refined tranquillity and modern luxury. Bathed in abundant natural light that floods through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, the space is accentuated by the rich textures of hardwood white oak floors
and the smooth elegance of Venetian plaster walls. A charming Juliet balcony brings the outdoors in, while the warmth of a gas-burning fireplace, surrounded by meticulously designed custom built-ins, anchors the room in cozy sophistication.
Adjacent to the bedroom, the closet area reveals a beacon of organization and style, illuminated by a strategically placed skylight that casts a soft glow over the sleek white oak custom built-ins. This thoughtful design maximizes storage and provides a direct and logical flow into the adjoining primary ensuite bathroom.
The ensuite bathroom features a separate water closet with a state-of-the-art Neorest automated toilet, set against a backdrop of limestone tile flooring and Venetian plaster walls, lending a calm, cohesive aesthetic to the space. The room’s centrepiece, a double shower with double rain-head faucets, promises a rejuvenating experience, further enhanced by the custom vanity’s unique stone top. Uninterrupted views of Shaftesbury add an additional element of serenity.
This level offers a primary suite that epitomizes the pinnacle of high-end living, offering a secluded retreat that is both visually stunning and immensely indulgent.
The lower level is designed for utility. The entire level features polished concrete floors under eight-foot ceilings, creating a seamless flow of space. The main living space transforms into a multifunctional bedroom/family room, equipped with in-ceiling speakers and a built-in white oak media wall, alongside a spacious walk-in closet, blending functionality with modern aesthetics. The hallway cleverly incorporates built-in and hidden closet spaces with custom inserts for optimal organization, a central vacuum for convenience, and a laundry area featuring a Whirlpool washer and dryer set within a sink and storage cabinetry setup, enhancing the practicality of the space.
A dedicated gym area, designed with wellness in mind, features durable rubber flooring, built-in storage, and a mirrored wall to amplify the space. The ceiling is recessed to provide additional height, ensuring a spacious and inviting area for exercise, complemented by in-ceiling speakers to motivate and energize the ambiance. This lower level marries utility with luxury, offering a retreat that caters to relaxation and activity in the comfort of home.
48 Shaftesbury Avenue is only a short drive from the downtown core, literally steps away from the TTC (Summerhill Station), and a short walk to the grocery and retail stores of Yonge and Summerhill. It offers proximity to some of the best green spaces in the city and is surrounded by some of the top-ranking public and private schools that the city has to offer. This stellar property represents an extraordinary opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind townhouse situated in one of Toronto’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
48 Shaftesbury Avenue is more than a home; it’s a sanctuary where the texture of history and the clean lines of modernity live in perfect harmony, creating an ambiance of unparalleled tranquillity and beauty.
