Cross Streets: Windermere and Morningside. ** Directions: Going west on Bloor St W, turn left on Durie St; after Deforest Rd, the house will be on the left. Set in the heart of High Park-Swansea, steps from the park, Bloor West Village, and the subway, this fully custom lux contemporary home spans four finished levels and is built for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The main floor centres on a chef's kitchen with high-end stainless appliances, granite countertops, and walnut millwork, flowing into a living area anchored by chevron hardwood, a floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace, and a wet bar. A second wet bar and matching fireplace on the third floor creates a flexible upper lounge for hosting or unwinding, while the primary suite offers an L-shaped his-and-hers walk-in with custom organizers and a spa-like ensuite with steam shower. Three more bedrooms round out the family levels, and the lower level adds a den with a Murphy bed, set on polished concrete with radiant heat underfoot. Bathrooms are finished with custom Cristallo Quartzite and walnut vanities throughout, complemented by custom millwork, integrated lighting, and smart home systems - remote-controlled lighting and blinds, smart thermostat, security cameras - running across all four levels. Outside, a two-vehicle snow-melt driveway with EV charging handles Toronto winters, and a backyard sauna completes the home's wellness features. The result is a property finished to a standard that's increasingly hard to find - equally suited to quiet evenings in and lively gatherings, and considered down to the smallest detail. (id:27476)
