43 Maple Avenue, Toronto

Set discreetly behind a wall of mature hedges, this grand Rosedale residence occupies a remarkable bright corner lot, its width and setting allowing for a scale and presence rarely found. Manicured front gardens feel like the pages of a magazine and introduce a home where beautiful proportions, original character and thoughtful renovation come together effortlessly. The expansive main floor retains the elegance of formal living and dining rooms + a grand foyer, while a renovated kitchen opens to a generous family room with coffered ceilings and oversized character windows. A private office like a sun room and substantial mudroom with exceptional floor-to-ceiling storage and a separate side entrance offering a natural connection to the lower level nanny suite. The completely reconfigured and beautifully renovated second floor is devoted to two impressive bedroom suites. The primary is particularly exceptional, with a beautifully scaled ensuite and steam shower and dream walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms occupy the third floor alongside a second laundry area, and a relaxed family room, an ideal space for children, guests or potential fifth bedroom. Outside, the property becomes its own private world. Lush gardens surround a saltwater pool with waterfall, outdoor kitchen, stone terrace and covered, heated pergola with outdoor fireplace and television, creating a backyard designed to be lived in from spring through fall. A private driveway accommodates 2+ cars, while the garage offers parking for up to 3 with the existing lift. Generous in proportion yet remarkably private, this is a Rosedale home of exceptional space and presence, both inside and out.
