Cross Streets: The Kingsway & Bloor St. West. ** Directions: The Kingsway & Kingsway Crescent. The House that built the Kingsway. In a neighbourhood of stately homes, 43 The Kingsway stands apart. This is the first estate to be built in the Kingsway, located on the best and first lots in the Kingsway, selected for the most overall table land available on the Humber River ravine - 43 The Kingsway is the crown jewel of the neighbourhood. If you've ever driven through the neighbourhood, you already know this home - it's the one with the glass atrium with copper roof, the one that glows at night & is full of light during the day. Since construction, the home has been meticulously stewarded by its owners, & tastefully updated to blend modern sensibilities without losing the Kingsway feeling. From outside, you'll appreciate Jim Mosher's dramatic humber river stone landscaping, the elegant, & particularly Kingsway styling of the rear extension is seamless.
