335 St Clair Avenue E

In one of Toronto's most storied residential enclaves, a house transcends its category. This is not simply a family home in Moore Park - it is a study in how architecture can reframe the everyday, courtesy of a main floor addition conceived by celebrated Canadian architect Bruce Kuwabara. Move-in ready and thoughtfully realized, the addition unfolds as a loft-like volume where material and light do the talking: glass block filters daylight into soft, ambient washes; blackened metal grounds the space with quiet industrial precision; polished marble introduces a note of refinement. It is, in the truest sense, a space designed for living. Beyond the addition, the home settles into a more traditional register without losing its sense of intention. Across 3,178 square feet of total living space, wide plank hardwood floors carry a warm continuity through principal rooms; bathrooms are rendered in a clean, contemporary hand; the kitchen - generously proportioned and finely detailed - anchors daily life while remaining fully at ease hosting a crowd. Upstairs, the second floor holds three bedrooms, while the third floor reveals a self-contained retreat - an office or den paired with an oversized bedroom suite, offering a teenager or young adult a rare degree of independence within the family home. Below, a fully finished lower level with its own separate entrance introduces further flexibility. All of this within Moore Park itself - a neighbourhood defined by mature tree canopy, architectural character, and proximity to some of the city's most respected schools, including Whitney Junior Public School and OLPH. The result is a home that reads as much like a design statement as it does a place to call home.
