One of the oldest and most affluent neighbourhoods in Toronto, Rosedale is where you should live if you appreciate historic character and a luxurious lifestyle within the city (and, you know, you have millions of dollars).
Nestled amidst the thick foliage of quiet residential streets, you'll find beautiful single-family detached Victorian, Georgian, Tudor, and Edwardian-style homes. But even among this sea of affluent homes, 16 Whitney Avenue stands out.
While the house was built in 1923 and has since been deemed a heritage property, the home feels anything but dated, in fact, the interior is amongst some of the most modern and sophisticated we've come across.
Featuring a complete back-to-the-studs renovation, the 5,000+ square-foot heritage 'smart' home has been majorly and meticulously renovated and was designed by award-winning architectural firm Atelier Kastellic Buffey and Chapi Chapo Design.
