Toronto Home With Parisian-Inspired Interior Sells for $1.8M

With an asking price of $1.795 million, this semi-detached Victorian home has “a lovely streetscape,” notes the listing, which also points out the home has been “lovingly restored.”

The interior of the home, as described by the listing, is “like you’ve stepped into the 6th arrondissement in Paris,” and the attention to detail in such features as the gold-accented mouldings and fireplace mantel are impressive indeed.

As this shot of the home’s dining room indicates, the design scheme within the interior is that of a Parisian salon in a bygone era.

The semi-detached home’s somewhat narrow profile has resulted in an open concept for the living and dining rooms on the main floor, with such accents as a coffered ceiling (painted in a bold reddish umber) and opulent crystal chandelier in the dining room.

A walk up the staircase leads to the more-modern study/family room, an elegant space offering a comfy sectional sofa, gleaming dark wood floors and French door accessing a large balcony overlooking the backyard.

Another view of the family room/study, which is apparently the result of an attic renovation, with a pair of dormer-style windows offering additional natural light.

A hint of Versailles can be seen in this large and luxurious master bedroom, with a wall of built-in closets boasting French baroque-style detailing, while a crystal chandelier dangles overhead.

The master bath features marble, marble and more marble, surrounding the deep whirlpool tub and the elevated glass-walled shower. A dark wood vanity adds a dramatic focal point and adds a visual counterpoint to all that marble.

The view from the second-storey balcony, looking down on the stone patio of the private backyard.

The stone patio area has been designed with outdoor entertaining in mind.

The backyard is accessed via a pair of French doors leading from the kitchen, located at the rear of the house (and, oddly, not featured in the listing).
