About this property

Style beacon! The LightHouse @HighParkHomes .ca

Featured in Architecture Daily and Azure. A beacon of style in Toronto's best neighbourhood. Dazzling modern lines suffused with sunlight and sublime gardens. Full height glazing on every floor. Big windows screened by gardens and ornamental trees. Heated concrete floors. Custom cabinetry. Midcentury modern classic furnishings. Exquisite private garden space. All of this centrally located to enjoy the best of Toronto's urban offerings, its big parks and the Great Lake.
The space
The house is designed by Toronto's renowned LGA Architectural Partners, makers of some of the most iconic public and private spaces in Canada.

The house has strikingly simple yet dramatic exterior lines. On the inside – "to a sculptural, sun-splashed effect," writes Design Lines magazine, "the architect graduated the ceiling heights from 2.7 metres in the kitchen and 3.6 metres in the sunken living room to a soaring 7.3 metres in the stairwell that leads to the bedrooms and study. As you ascend, skylights at the very top increase the home’s feeling of airiness."

There is a hidden LED light system in the soaring stairway, "with settings that alternate between psychedelic swirls and soothing swathes of colour," says Design Lines. "The light fills the space, and the house glows."

The home features heated floors on every level, polished concrete with gorgeous area rugs. The house is cooled by an ultra-modern central AC system.

MAIN - Sunken living room with cast-concrete fireplace. Ten-foot-high sliding glass doors open onto a professionally landscaped and lovingly tended garden patio. Also on Main is the well-equipped kitchen and dining space, and a powder room.
SECOND - Big queen bedroom with floor-to-ceiling southwest views of the back garden. Also, a spacious (15'x10') double bedroom with closet and also a desk and full north light views of the front garden. There is also a lounging area as well as a study/library. There is also a full bathroom on the second floor.
THIRD - The principal bedroom (15'x10') with queen bed, ensuite full bathroom, and walk-in closet. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom have a private southern light overview of the secluded back gardens.
LOWER - The space is bright and well-lit thanks to the window wells that run the length and width of the house. This 15'x23' space features a double bed and a sofabed. There is also a full bath attached.
