36 Donwoods Drive, Toronto C12, ON M4N 2G1

Nestled in a magical forested setting in the heart of Hogg's Hollow, this beautifully reimagined residence blends old-world charm with refined contemporary design. Perched elegantly above a winding, tree-lined street, the home is approached by either a sloping private drive or dramatic stone steps that lead through lush gardens and towering mature trees. Completely renovated & expanded in 2008, the home offers updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC and roofing, while maintaining a timeless architectural warmth. At the centre of the home is a magnificent 2-storey solarium that floods the living spaces with natural light and creates a seamless connection to the spectacular rear gardens. Inspired by Fibonacci principles incorporated into Bauhaus window systems, the solarium features striking wood doors and windows that open onto expansive stone patios, perennial gardens and beautifully landscaped grounds. The main floor offers elegant formal principal rooms at the front of the home, while the rear opens dramatically into relaxed West Coast-inspired living spaces surrounded by greenery. Custom cabinetry, unique hardware, thoughtful material choices and exceptional craftsmanship are evident throughout. Upstairs, the layout is ideal for family living, with 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths on one side of the staircase, while the luxurious primary suite occupies the other, flowing from a large bedroom into a dressing area and stunning spa-like ensuite. The finished lower level features a generous rec room, den area, 5th bedroom with ensuite and walk-out to the gardens. Tucked away in the rear of the property is a whimsical cabin-like retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Just steps to Yonge Street, the subway, parks, clubs, golf courses and excellent schools, with quick access to the 401, this extraordinary property offers the rare combination of total privacy, architectural character and urban convenience. A truly special home with a remarkable atmosphere and lifestyle.
