Welcome to 71 Sheldrake Boulevard. This impressive three-storey home is situated in midtown Toronto, with a resort-like backyard on an expansive 50-by-266-foot lot. This triple brick home was originally constructed in 1927 and has been extensively renovated and cared for throughout the years.
Zoned as a multi-residential dwelling, this highly flexible house functions perfectly as a multi-generational family home, a potential three-unit executive income property (subject to final retrofit), or an outstanding single family home. All four levels of the home are served by a five-stop Cambridge elevator.
Renovated from top to bottom between 2006 and 2021 with exquisite custom finishes, 71 Sheldrake is a beautiful midtown property. It offers approximately 10,000 square feet of elegant interior space and an exquisite backyard retreat with a 40-foot Betz “Gunite” pool and hot tub, as well as a built-in barbeque. The spacious and fully loaded cabana is equipped with a retractable wall of glass, gas fireplace, two-piece washroom, family room, and a kitchenette complete with a sink, dishwasher and fridge.
The Main Floor – An Exceptional Space for Family or Entertaining
The first thing you notice as you survey the property is its imposing façade and dramatic custom windows. As you approach the impressive entrance, you are met with a large, well-maintained stone terrace with inviting limestone steps and a distinguished front door leading to the grand foyer.
The main floor is perfectly designed for family life and sophisticated entertaining. Follow the elegant checkerboard marble and granite flooring through the exquisite foyer and expansive entrance hall, featuring a dramatic stone staircase to the second floor and a striking custom library.
The spacious and light-filled living room features solid granite and marble flooring and a gas fireplace surrounded by a bespoke marble mantle imported from Italy. Show off your art collection on the expansive walls.
The gracious dining room, with its solid granite flooring, easily accommodates dining for 12, but is also perfect for intimate family meals. A stylish powder room is adjacent.
At the rear of the first floor, a well-proportioned open-concept kitchen, family room and dining nook await. This large combined space features extensive custom millwork, a dramatic double-height pantry, banquette seating, two expansive granite-topped islands, multiple built-in wine fridges and a welcoming gas fireplace. The professional-style gas range includes a separate indoor grill and griddle.
Up a few steps from the kitchen is a large, bright, multi-purpose room, with four well-hidden, custom murphy beds and a three-piece bathroom. Four French doors lead to a spacious, elevated deck with a frameless glass railing system to enjoy the view and gain access to the resort-like backyard.
The Second Level – A Hotel-Like Primary Suite and Multiple Ensuite Bedrooms
The second level offers three generously-sized, ensuite bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a stunning, black-tiled mantle with built-in mini fridge, gas-burning fireplace, bookshelves, and a bay window seating area. The huge walk-through dressing room, with its custom storage and integrated desk/vanity area, leads to a grand six-piece ensuite bathroom with sleek black granite and Carrara marble finishes, a double shower and large soaker tub with TV for an ultimate relaxing escape.
The other two large bedrooms on the second floor each have an abundance of natural light and their own fully-tiled ensuite bathrooms and large closets. There is also a moderately proportioned fourth room that could be used as an office, nursery, gym or wellness retreat. A self-contained second-floor laundry room can be accessed through this room.
The Third Level – A Large and Airy Space Capable of Adapting to Numerous Uses
The third level comprises seven bright and airy rooms, spread over approximately 2000 square feet. Depending on the purchaser’s preferences, this floor could be used as a large, self-contained second unit or as an incredible suite for in-laws, adult children or blended families.
This light-filled space features a large kitchen with a granite-topped island, a living room with gas fireplace and a bay window, a dining room, a den, a laundry room, three bright bedrooms and two full bathrooms (one a three-piece with walk-in frameless glass shower and the other a four-piece with jetted tub).
The Lower Level – A Gym, Multiple Home Offices, a Nanny Suite and More
The double-height mudroom off the side entrance of the home features custom storage and direct access to the elevator. The side entrance also provides convenient access to a third potential unit in the bright lower level.
The lower level is notable for its excellent ceiling height and large windows. It boasts six rooms that could be used as a spacious living room with gas fireplace, a dining room, an exercise room, a potential laundry room, and two bedrooms, as well as a kitchen and two three- piece bathrooms. The lower level also provides additional built-in storage.
This expansive lower level could easily be used to accommodate any combination of a screening room, one or more home offices, a wine cellar, extra guest rooms, or a self-contained living space for a nanny or extended family.
Outdoor Space – A Three-Car Garage and a Spa-Like Backyard
Steps from both the side door and the second floor deck is a rarely available oversized three-car garage at the rear of the home with automated garage doors. Additional storage for bicycles and garden equipment is available in the adjacent storage area. The expansive private driveway has additional parking for approximately 8 cars.
The pièce de résistance is hidden behind a private gate: a resort-like backyard nestled in this huge lot — an executive “cottage” without the commute. Enjoy an incredible inground 16×40-foot pool by Betz Pools with an integrated spa and waterfall, accompanied by a cabana outfitted with a kitchen, seating area, dining table, dishwasher, gas-burning fireplace, and bathroom. The 18-foot retractable glass door allows for three-season use, perfect for quality family time or outdoor entertaining from April through October. The backyard also features a Twin Eagles BBQ with side burners, two cantilevered Tucci umbrellas and multiple seating areas. Your privacy is protected by well-placed mature landscaping.

There is easy access and close proximity to both Lawrence and Eglinton subway stations.
This show-stopping property offers a rare opportunity to own a beautiful, expansive, and well-maintained home on a huge lot with outstanding on-site amenities and easy access to the very best of the city.
