268 St Leonards Avenue
A rarely offered Lawrence Park residence of exceptional craftsmanship and architectural pedigree, available for the first time since 2012. Designed by renowned architect Lorne Rose with interiors by Carey Mudford, this distinguished Tudor-style home sits on a prime 50 x 150 ft lot and offers approximately 5,500 sq ft of beautifully finished living space. The striking Indiana limestone and brick façade, cedar shingle roof, leaded glass windows, copper detailing, and hand-crafted stone portico create timeless curb appeal. A heated driveway, steps, porch, and walkways ensure yearround comfort, complemented by mature landscaping, irrigation, exterior lighting, and integrated security. Inside, refined detailing defines every space, including 10ft ceilings on the main level, 9 ft ceilings above and below, heated marble floors, custom millwork, coffered ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and sound-insulated construction. Principal rooms flow seamlessly for both elegant entertaining and everyday family living. The chef’s kitchen features premium appliances, bespoke cabinetry, and opens to an oversized family room with walk-out to a private stone terrace. The upper level offers generously proportioned bedrooms and spainspired baths, highlighted by a luxurious primary retreat with vaulted ceilings, marble finishes, steam shower, and private outdoor access. The fully finished lower level with radiant heated floors provides exceptional versatility, including a large recreation room with walk-out, wet bar, wine cellar, guest or nanny suite, and extensive storage. Thoughtfully maintained and continuously upgraded, the home delivers enduring quality and modern reliability. Complete with a rare three-car secure garage, this is an exceptional opportunity just moments to Toronto’s top schools, the Granite Club, Bayview Avenue, Highway 401, and surrounding parks, a truly special offering in one of the city’s most coveted family neighbourhoods.
