Property Details

About this property

A magnificent stone residence, poised above the Humber - Toronto's only Canadian Heritage River - on one of the city's most coveted and private streets. On nearly an acre of ravine land at the end of a quiet Swansea court, this is a true country estate within the city: rare, secluded, and irreplaceable. Settings of this calibre are no longer created. They are simply passed, with privilege, from one steward to the next. Inside, approx. 8,000 sq ft of living space unfolds from a full-height panelled centre hall with parquet inlay. Each update has been curated with intention. Modern touches introduced seamlessly, space added thoughtfully, and not a single decision made at the expense of the home's original charm. Stately principal rooms include a board-and-batten original quarter-sawn oak fireplace room with cut-stone surround and iron strap-hinged built-ins, beamed ceilings, panelled window seats, and terracotta mosaic floors. The kitchen pairs a Viking Professional 6 burner range and twin dishwasher drawers with a wall of wood-framed windows opening into the tree canopy. The formal dining room comfortably seats ten beside French doors to a private balcony; the vaulted third floor is a retreat of its own, with gas fireplace and twin west-facing Juliet balconies framing sunsets over the river valley. Five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, multiple fireplaces, walk-out lower level. Outside: level table land with room for a pool, a curved stone lookout terrace, stone staircase entry, built-in garage, and full-home generator. Swansea - once its own village - offers a walk to Bloor West Village, High Park, top-rated schools, and two subway stations, with downtown and the airport minutes away. Nature at your doorstep, the city at your convenience - a once-in-a-lifetime offering.
