This restored and updated Georgian-style home is set in Teddington Park, an affluent residential community in Toronto. Developed from farmland in the 1930s, the leafy green neighborhood is covered in mature trees and borders a golf course.
The stately three-story is in keeping with the historic houses in the area. The red brick home is entered by way of a landscaped semi-circular driveway. Stone steps lead up to a walkway flanked by lawn.
An elaborate wood paneled enclosure topped by ironwork surrounds the front door. Ivy creeps up to the barrel dormer windows of the second floor.
The formal living room centers on a fireplace with a carved stone mantelpiece.
