A beautiful Toronto home you may have seen in ads is up for sale
If this Toronto house looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen it in a Starbucks ad or maybe the Nespresso one, or even the eBay commercial.
Yeah, this house is very photogenic, and that’s because it’s seriously cool.
Located in New Toronto, 48 Fourth St. is a rare find, according to realtor Michael Majeski.
The main floor.
“This property uniquely blends the vibrant energy of downtown Toronto with a relaxed lakeside feel,” he told blogTO.
Set on an extra-wide 41-foot lot with a private driveway, this home offers a mix of timeless design and modern comfort just steps from Lake Ontario.
The front porch.
From the street, the home stands out with its deep front porch, mature trees, and calm, inviting presence.
The mud room.
The covered porch looks like something straight out of a storybook and sets the tone for what you’ll find inside.
The kitchen and dining area.
The main floor is open concept, with tall ceilings, lots of natural light and warm wood floors.
The kitchen with integrated appliances.
Everything centres around a custom-designed kitchen, which makes it an ideal space for hosting parties. Something this house has done a lot of.
The dining table seats up to 10 people.
“Themed parties have become part of the home’s legacy,” said Majeski, sharing tales of a community-wide New Orleans celebration to a 1960s AstroTurf surf party that turned the entire space into a vibrant time capsule of colour, music, and joy.
The centre of the home.
But back to the kitchen. Normally, we don’t get that excited about kitchens, but this one features two centre islands, built-in appliances, and an AGA stove, which, if you know, you know.
The counter-height wood-burning fireplace.
Probably the coolest thing about the kitchen is that it has a raised wood-burning fireplace that adds both character and warmth to the open-concept living space, but also has racks built in so you can cook in it.
The living room.
That’s just one of the quirky and unique elements that 48 Fourth St. boasts.
The little doors under the stairs are a dog house.
From specially made produce drawers in the kitchen to the Harry Potter dog house under the stairs in the living room, you can tell this home is special.
The primary ensuite.
48 Fourth St. features four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The primary bedroom.
Upstairs, the primary suite is designed for privacy and relaxation, with a tree-lined terrace, a makeup area, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom.
Another bedroom.
The other bedrooms each have unique design elements, ample storage, and plenty of natural light.
The family room.
Another cool feature of this home is the wraparound family room on the second floor.
Another bedroom.
It gives you views of the trees and even a peek at the lake, creating a bright and airy space that works as a lounge, reading nook, or playroom.
The basement recreation room.
There’s more living space downstairs.
The baking/craft room.
With high ceilings and surprising square footage, the basement includes a baking/craft room, office, and a large family room. It’s a flexible space that can adapt to just about any need.
Another bathroom.
And if you thought the inside had a lot to offer, the outside is next level.
The sports court has hosted many basketball tournaments.
In addition to your traditional patio, the property includes a sports court, a koi pond, and an oversized workshop.
The backyard.
In fact, according to Majeski, the backyard space is so big that at one point the owners hosted over 200 friends and neighbours to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off under the stars on an outdoor projector screen.
The makeup area in the primary bedroom.
And if that wasn’t enough to make you drool over this house, there’s also in-floor heating everywhere.
The back of the house.
48 Fourth St. is listed for $2,395,000.
