About this home
Nestled in a magical forested setting in the heart of Hogg's Hollow, this beautifully reimagined residence blends old-world charm with refined contemporary design. Perched elegantly above a winding, tree-lined street, the home is approached by either a sloping private drive or dramatic stone steps that lead through lush gardens and towering mature trees. Completely renovated & expanded in 2008, the home offers updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing, while maintaining a timeless architectural warmth. At the centre of the home is a magnificent 2-storey solarium that floods the living spaces with natural light and creates a seamless connection to the spectacular rear gardens. Inspired by Fibonacci principles incorporated into Bauhaus window systems, the solarium features striking wood doors and windows that open onto expansive stone patios, perennial gardens and beautifully landscaped grounds. The main floor offers elegant formal principal rooms at the front of the home, while the rear opens dramatically into relaxed West Coast-inspired living spaces surrounded by greenery. Custom cabinetry, unique hardware, thoughtful material choices and exceptional craftsmanship are evident throughout. Upstairs, the layout is ideal for family living, with 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths on one side of the staircase, while the luxurious primary suite occupies the other, flowing from a large bedroom into a dressing area and stunning spa-like ensuite. The finished lower level features a generous rec room, den area, 5th bedroom with ensuite and walk-out to the gardens. Tucked away in the rear of the property is a whimsical cabin-like retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Just steps to Yonge Street, the subway, parks, clubs, golf courses and excellent schools, with quick access to the 401, this extraordinary property offers the rare combination of total privacy, architectural character and urban convenience. A truly special home with a remarkable atmosphere and lifestyle.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
