It might look like the average yellow-brick bungalow in Etobicoke, but 44 Princess Margaret Boulevard is a hidden time capsule waiting to transport you to a bygone era.

Located in the prestigious Princess Anne Manor neighbourhood, this home has a mid-century modern interior that has been meticulously cared for. It’s a treasure trove of nostalgia, feeling more like a design museum with original features dating back to its construction in the late 1950s.


Upon arrival, you are welcomed by an indoor garden and retro accent wall displaying 23 circular mirrors. It's the starting point for a journey through 15+ timeless rooms, each with a unique personality.

Step into the carpeted sunken living for a relaxing atmosphere that receives ample natural light from the tall windows. The textured stone fireplace is the focal point, with views into the dining room. It’s hard not to imagine a dinner party moving into the living space with guests dancing as they sip on old fashioneds.

Its kitchen is a gem with appliances considered futuristic and innovative for the ‘50s/’60s. The Frigidaire Fold-Back Cooking Units are a rare find. The compact electric stove tops, by General Motors, were the Murphy Beds of the kitchen, transforming countertops into multi-functional spaces. The built-in wall oven perfectly represents the “jet-age” with dials and gauges better suited for a spaceship.

The bathrooms are original from 1956 according to the agent. Its walls feature bold floral wallpaper with ceramic tiles to compliment them. The pastel coloured vanities and bathtubs give the room a light touch.

Downstairs is the entertainment epicentre or a future man cave. The wood panelled wall basement has a built-in bar and space to fit a ping pong or foosball table – or both. There is even an additional bedroom.

Specs:

From the warm hues of the wood panelling to vibrant pops of colour courtesy of patterned wallpaper and the textures of its walls and floors, the house is a sensory experience. Its details, big and small, make each room charming whether it's a decorative switch plate cover, stencilled wall design, etched glass, or an ornate handle.

The listing describes the property as one with endless possibilities. It could remain as is, with a slight refresh, or undergo a massive transformation. Regardless, the house has great bones and definitely doesn’t look a day over 50.
