Lawrence Park Gem Boasts Historic Charm (And Extensive Additions)

A newly listed Lawrence Park home serves a stunning cocktail of historic charm, understated elegance, and more bay windows that you can count.

Sitting in a shawl of greenery on the highly sought-after Lytton Boulevard in one of Toronto's serene northern suburbs, the radiant 58 Lytton is a home you don't want to miss. It's situated within steps of vibrant Yonge Street, surrounded by top-notch schools, parks, and amenities, and boasts refined designs within.

Plus, the home just underwent extensive additions, incorporating a new chef's kitchen, family room, and powder room on the main floor, a primary bedroom and bathroom on the second floor, and a new recreation room and bathroom on the lower level.

Approaching the home, you're met by a charming brick exterior crowned by a spacious, shaded front porch and a gorgeous solid wood front door, flanked by leaded windows. These leaded windows and rich wood features run throughout the home, lending it a lovely antique feel.

Inside, you're first greeted by a welcoming entryway before moving into a foyer, defined by wood siding and a grand staircase. On the main level, family and friends can gather in a number of stately rooms, including the sitting room — home to a wood-burning fireplace and the first of many bay windows — and the ethereal cornflower blue formal dining room.

But the real family (and friend) connections will happen in the open-concept living room and kitchen, with lounging spots available in front of the built-in entertainment wall, and the bay-window breakfast nook that overlooks the lush backyard. And in the kitchen, the chefs of the family will enjoy a large marble breakfast bar island, alongside stainless steel appliances.

Upstairs, retire to the luxurious primary suite, featuring a wealth of windows, a walk-in dressing room, and a six-piece bathroom with a rain shower. The upper floors are also home to three spacious secondary bedrooms, plus two generous office spaces that could easily be converted into additional bedrooms.

Our Favourite Thing

Sometimes older builds can feel tight and — gasp — outdated, but this home is nothing of the sort. With its high ceilings, light-flooded rooms, and a perfect balance of modernity and historic charm, 58 Lytton is a character-rich breath of fresh air.

You're also invited to escape to the lower level rec-room (which gets a remarkable amount of natural light) for a cozy movie night in front of the chic built-in entertainment wall. Or, head outside to bask in the beautifully landscaped backyard, fitted with a sprinkler system, mature trees, and a detached garage.

This rare gem is not only located in one of Toronto's most coveted neighbourhoods, but contains a wealth to covet within as well. Sitting at the perfect crossroads of understated elegance and luxurious opulence, this home is truly meant to be lived in. And with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms to boot, it's the perfect place to raise a family in the city.
