Set on one of Rosedale's most coveted streets, 208 Roxborough Drive is a 1928 Tudor Revival residence of landmark stature, designed by the prize-wining architect Harold Richard Watson. The composition is grounded in stone, with tracery, a sweeping bay, and a procession of steps to a carved entrance. Inside, the entrance hall is crowned by a coffered plaster ceiling, and light pours through original leaded glass. Wood panelling lines the principal rooms, concealing built-in cabinetry and adorned with fine scrollwork that is rare in both quality and extent. Original fireplaces ground the rooms, and a hand-crafted staircase rises through the heart of the home. The living room spans the full width of the house, scaled for an era that built for permanence. Above grade, the residence offers more than 5,000 square feet, with over 2,300 square feet on the lower level. The primary suite includes a private office, walk-in closets, and an ensuite, and four additional bedrooms complete the second floor. Beyond the house is the land itself. The lot extends over 88 feet wide by 408 feet deep, descending into the ravine, a depth almost unheard of in Rosedale. Approvals are in place for a swimming pool and for the relocation of the garage and driveway, opening the way to an expansive garden and a private landscape with ravine views. 208 Roxborough Drive is a true landmark, and an opportunity to become part of its story.
