Inside and out, 24 Heathdale Road is a real estate gem. From the jump, the shape of the home sets it apart from others. From some angles, it reads like an a-frame. From the back, a stacked container house. All around, it’s a showstopper, with movie-star-merit in spades.
The home -- dubbed a "contemporary English cottage" by ACO -- was completed in 2007 by Marcus Design Build and features architectural stylings by Drew Mandel. It was only a few years after, in 2009, that it served as the filming location for “Chloe,” a provocative thriller starring Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, and Amanda Seyfried.
Although Toronto has no shortage of beautiful homes, it’s not hard to see why this one was *discovered*. It has soaring ceilings, high-end finishings, and the back of the home -- which is entirely windowed -- is steps from a verdant ravine.
The main floor of the home is bright, roomy, and modern, with uninterrupted views of the Cedarvale Ravine. A gas fireplace is built into the partition between the living area and an informal breakfast room. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel. A separate dining area on a floating level is partitioned with glass.
The second floor contains four bedrooms, including the primary, which is complete with a walk-in closet and five-piece ensuite. All bedrooms overlook the ravine. A landing at the top of the stairs has been fashioned into a second sitting area. There is potential for another bedroom on the uppermost floor, which currently contains a home office and gym.
On the basement level, you’ll find a third living area, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a separate laundry room.
Our Favourite Thing
This property has no shortage of crowning jewels, but one of our favourites is the rear terrace. Flanked on all sides by tall trees, it is spacious and secluded, with overgrown foliage that reminds of an English garden. A private pocket of greenery is something of a rare find anywhere in Toronto.
24 Heathdale Road is located in the neighbourhood of Humewood-Cedarvale -- a family-friendly area surrounded by schools, parks, and parkettes. It’s well-served by public transit, and the University of Toronto is just a 20-minute transit trip away.
