Experience the seamless fusion of Victorian grandeur and avant-garde contemporary luxury in this masterpiece of a residence in super prime Cabbagetown. Originally constructed in 1890 for jeweller Jacob Waltz, the façade of this Gothic Revival treasure stands as a testament to Toronto’s rich heritage. It carries the prestigious Sarah Anne Curzon historical plaque, honouring the pioneering journalist and suffragist who once called these walls home. While the exterior preserves its 19th-century soul—earning the 2023 Peggy Kurtin Award for Excellence in Restoration—the interior has been completely transformed during a meticulous, comprehensive back-to-the-brick renovation. It jumps off the pages of an interior design magazine.

Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet across four finished levels, this is the perfect residence to entertain in style. The completely open-concept main floor is anchored by white Oak hardwood floors and a most spectacular French-influenced white marble hearth of the gas fireplace. It evokes the lobby of a refined boutique global hotel. The high-end culinary kitchen features massive slabs of Calacatta quartz countertops and book matched backsplash. Premium appliances. A dedicated wet bar and wine storage area. Tall glass garden doors provide a fluid transition to an enclosed urban garden paradise, complete with decks, easy-to-maintain gardens, and mature trees. It leads to an impressive fully finished nearly 400 square foot double car garage. This secondary structure is fully insulated, heated, and cooled, complete with its own skylight.

The thoughtful design of the house prioritized an abundance of natural sunlight.  Oversized updated windows and strategically positioned skylights were brilliantly added.

The upper levels house four spacious bedrooms, tons of closet space, and three spa-inspired bathrooms. Occupying the entire third floor, the primary suite serves as a private retreat. It boasts soaring ceilings, a massive dressing room with built-ins by California Closets, and an unbelievably posh ensuite bathroom equipped with a two-person shower. This level also includes a discreet laundry station and massive sliding glass doors that open onto a private rooftop balcony eo enjoy morning coffee.

The versatility of this property extends to the lower level, which contains a fully self-contained legal one-bedroom apartment. Finished to the same exacting standards as the primary residence, it includes a separate laundry area and serves as an ideal guest suite or high-end rental.

Located in the heart of Cabbagetown, this home places you steps away from the lush trails of Riverdale Park and the vibrant cafes and restaurants along Carlton and Parliament Streets. This is a residence for those who value turnkey move in condition, the highest end of finishes, and cutting-edge modernity. Every detail, from the heated garage to the award-winning design, reflects a standard of craftsmanship that is seldom achieved.
