About our home
Centrally located in the heart of downtown toronto, on a quiet street within walking distance of Yonge and Bloor streets, Bloor street shopping, Yorkville and Toronto's downtown entertainment district. 15 minute drive to the fabulous Beach area where you can swim, picnic, walk along the boardwalk, Toronto Islands a quick ferry ride to a lovely Toronto island with beaches and walks. The extensive subway and bus system makes it easy to get around the city with a purchased Presto card.
There are four floors of luxury space with high end furniture, accessories and appliances. We collect mid century furniture so there are some great pieces in the home. Dining room seats 10 and has a wonderful ambience for dining. Chef's kitchen with high end professional appliances... including an indoor barbecue.....everything you need to create amazing meals...or walk out to Church street or Bloor street for international restaurants, bars and shopping. Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in North America, so there are endless choices of ethnic food available. There is a third floor deck with dining table that seats 6 and provides a wonderful al fresco dining space for warm evenings.
Museums, art galleries, parks are all close by. Grocery stores, dry cleaners, pharmacies and banks are all within a 5 minute walk from the house. Property is very secure and extremely quiet. You won't believe you are in downtown Toronto. Street has many large trees and feels like a warm friendly neighbourhood. Please note that the house is not suitable for children due to the open nature of the interior stairwell architecture, fragile furniture/artwork and lack of outdoor play area.
There is a 65" smart TV in the main floor TV room (second bedroom) and a 47" TV in the master. We have very fast 1.5 G internet service.

“We had a great time at Paul and Lee’s beautiful home. The architecture, furnishing and art were first class. Their caretaker was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Location was the perfect access to explore Toronto with great restaurants and attractions. Hope to return in the near future! ”
“We had a great stay, fantastic location, easy to access, good support, comfortable, clean, would love to stay here again. ”
“We met Paul and Lee for lunch a couple of weeks ahead of their stay and found them to be very pleasant and engaging. We were immediately comforted that they are house-proud and would look after our home as they look after their own. This proved to be the case; they left the house clean, tidy and in good order, as they found it. We maintained good communication through their stay, and were very happy that they had a good time. We feel we have made two new friends.”
“I was so happy to meet these guys in the middle of their 3 week point swap at our beach cottage. We had an enjoyable time watching the sunset and later enjoying a bowl of gumbo! Canadians visiting our Cajun Caribbean allowed for great conversations! I loved learning about their jobs and travels and the great foods Lee can cook. He even stocked my pantry and fridge with things I’ve never tried before! They left a beautiful flower arrangement of fresh purple tulips in my green sea shell jar with a bottle of wine and a candle! These guys were super nice guests! I’m so glad to have met them and happy they enjoyed their time at our beach house.”
