114 GLEN ROAD / ROSEDALE
admin November 30th, 2011
There are very few homes remaining in Rosedale that have the history and charm still evident in this grand, traditional mansion. Built at the turn of the century for the Applegate family of millinery fame, 114 Glen Road was inspired by the work of Italian architect Andrea Palladio and is a masterpiece.
Situated on an expansive 100 foot by 123 foot private, estate-type lot, it is 5 minutes from the hub of Toronto’s business and shopping districts and convenient to some of the most prestigious schools in Toronto.
From the traditional portico and grand rotunda that welcomes visitors upon entering, to the splendid gardens at the back, one is taken back to a more tranquil, gentler era.
Exquisite and unique handcarved millwork throughout includes unique coffered ceilings, ionic columns, beautiful wood wainscotting and crown mouldings , solid oak floors, 5 fireplaces and much more. An incredible stained glass window, featuring the lady of the house, graces the landing of the splendid staircase which leads to the second floor and a formal landing and recessed office area.
Here one finds the same sumptuous details found throughout. These include a grand master suite with a renovated ensuite bath and fireplace and 3 additional large bedrooms, one with a fireplace and 2 more renovated bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms can serve as a separate suite of rooms if desired.
The third floor has been totally renovated to be used as a separate, bright and airy apartment or incorporated as part of the family home. It comes complete with 3 bedrooms, 2 renovated baths, a kitchen and laundry facilities.
Basement is fully finished with an office, exercise room, bathroom, laundry room and storage facilities. It can also be accessed from the backyard through a separate walk-up entrance.
