66 Annette St

From epochal elegance to present-day prestige – an exquisite blend of age-old craftsmanship with innovative design, signalling unapologetic audacity & unparalleled distinction. Rooted in 1871, this Junction residence, stretching over 1,900 square feet, marries the architectural brilliance of a bygone era with the spirited nuances of today. Where once the airs of the Victorian age held sway, a contemporary reimagining breaks through. The home shuns the expected, replacing antiquated formalities with an inviting, fluid modernity. On the main floor, an expansive artistic space beckons, including the 20-foot-high atrium, drawing inspiration from Moroccan design juxtaposed against century-old brick & Brazilian hardwood flooring. An artful glassed-in staircase adds architectural interest while maintaining a light & bright atmosphere. Step into the kitchen, the home’s gastronomic heart, the true entertainer’s dream, and be dazzled by clean surfaces, plentiful cabinetry & airy spaces – sunlight streams in through the avant-garde garage-style rolling door, creating a luminescent ambience over a flexible space calling for fitness enthusiasts, yogis, meditators or artists alike. Venture further to the upper floors to discover design marvels: hotel-inspired chambers, spa-indulgent bathrooms, rich tile selections & integrated wardrobes that merge utility, sophistication & luxury. And for those who seek solitude or an enclave for remote work, the second floor houses a discreet guest suite or a private office, augmented by hidden artisanal millwork and an exclusive backyard refuge. Descend to the lower level and unearth a versatile recreation space calling for wine or art collectors seeking a protected reprieve for their side-hustle loves. Anchoring itself in the present yet reverent of its storied past, this one-of-a-kind home evokes a duality that’s inspired, warm and welcoming.

A stone’s throw away, The Junction vibrates with the ease of city life. The proximity to the much-acclaimed Saturday farmers market, the welcoming smiles of neighbours, and the communal joy of backyard alley parties all serve as a testament to the festive spirit of the community. Young families infuse the neighbourhood with fresh energy, ensuring that the legacy of this locale thrives for generations to come! A residence? Certainly. But also a piece of Toronto’s architectural tapestry, a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the discerning to own a slice of history while dabbling in the good life!
