47 Chestnut Park

Steeped in history and nestled in the centre of South Rosedale, this elegant red brick executive residence is being offered to the market for the first time in 36 years. Built in 1905 and designed by renowned architect Samuel H. Townsend, it offers over 3000 square feet above-grade with an intrinsic elegance and provenance that is evident from the moment you first step inside. Ceiling heights reach nearly ten feet on the main floor, enhancing the scale and distinctive sophistication of the interiors. The kitchen lies at the front of the home and was renovated approximately 20 years ago, boasting a centre island, an abundance of storage, and a quiet tandem breakfast area to enjoy views of the pretty streetscape outside its bevelled glass windows. The dining room commands attention with its scale and presence, and is lined with solid wooden wainscotting, crown mouldings, and a large picture window brings light into this beautiful entertaining space. The floor plan then expands to the full width of the home to showcase the glorious proportions of the formal living room. Centered upon a wood burning fireplace, the room is light-filled with a wall of glass overlooking the private west-facing gardens. The second floor offers two full bedroom suites including the primary bedroom with tandem sitting area, as well as a large six-piece ensuite bathroom and generously sized walk-in closet. The third floor offers an additional bedroom suite with a four-piece ensuite, walk-in closet, and connects to the very large third floor deck with treetop views. In the lower level, a recreation room with two at-grade windows holds the second fireplace, and is lined with shelving and storage. A private west-facing garden charms with red brick accents from the garage, while perennial plantings and trees make for a peaceful and angelic setting in the middle of the city. Access is gained through a garden gate to the garage parking.
