Occupying a one-third acre size double lot, this prominent home on Thornwood Road was built in 1931 in
the Georgian Revival style. Designed for Rosedale gracious living, a 16-month renovation completed in
2004 restored the grandeur and patina of the original principal rooms, doors, windows and shutters. A new
custom kitchen was created to match the traditional style of the original butler’s pantry. The 2004
additions included a Georgian-inspired wood-panelled family room conservatory and expansive stone
terrace, a mudroom link between the house and original two-car garage, an elevator accessing all four
floors and completely new lower level and top floor with large dormers facing the garden. New interior
doors and several windows were custom-made to match the originals and new wood storm windows were
made throughout to the traditional detail. All new plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning and all
other utility services were sensitively installed so as not to spoil the original understated elegance and
splendour of the home.
