Cross Streets: Queen St. E. & Leslie St. ** Directions: Please use your GPS. A sophisticated, highly considered family home where architecture, smart-home technology and quality finishes come together with rare cohesion. Designed around modern family life, the generous principal spaces are open yet distinct, creating an easy sense of togetherness without sacrificing privacy or flexibility. A striking reception with heated tile, wood ceiling and custom detailing leads to the heart of the house: a sleek Scavolini kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, rich oak floors and expansive living and dining areas filled with western light. The great room rises to a dramatic 12-foot ceiling and opens through a broad wall of glass to a private, fully fenced garden and large patio. Upstairs, bright bedrooms, warm oak flooring, heated tiled surfaces, three full baths and laundry are arranged over two levels. The exceptional primary suite is a true retreat, with a private morning terrace, computer alcove, oak-faced dressing room and spa-like bath with freestanding tub, rain shower and heated floor. The lower level offers outstanding flexibility, with hydronic heated floors, a discreet separate entrance and the ability to function as a self-contained 1-bedroom suite for extended family, grown children or tenants, with a rough-in for a kitchen. Control4 automation allows lighting, audio and customized home "moods" to be managed throughout. An elevator shaft is already incorporated and wired for future use, and approved drawings for an approximately 1,200 sq. ft. laneway house offer further potential. Set on a quiet Leslieville street with parking for 3 cars, close to parks, shops, restaurants, cafés, breweries and transit, this is a rare urban home offering style, comfort, technology and long-term flexibility in one of Toronto's most vibrant neighbourhoods.
