498 Roxton Road Toronto

THE STORY:

498 Roxton Road near Ossington and Bloor in Toronto’s Palmerston-Little Italy community, is our version of a New York Industrial soft loft turned into a massive family home.

Spread over nearly 4500 sq. ft. of living space on 4 levels on a 25 by 125 foot lot with nearly 3100 above grade square footage, it seems by far the largest and best built home on Roxton – from Dundas – North.

This neighbourhood transforming interior design is by Glen Peloso, who had a hand in helping West Queen West Toronto’s downtown  builders push the envelope on streets like Shaw, Crawford, Euclid, Markham and now Roxton. 

498 Roxton Road is a fully detached, bright, wide interior home with interior walls spanning at least 21 feet across. With wide open dining room facing East, bathed in daylight from every side to a massive custom kitchen with oversized kitchen island augmented by storage underneath and plenty of seating around it, a separate Jennair Black Line luxury Built-in Refrigerator and separate Freezer, 6 burner gas stove, dishwasher and bespoke lighting, with plenty of storage. A factory inspired glass wall and double doors separate main area from an opulent family room adorned with a fireplace, built-in shelving, & a wall of glass leading to a massive outdoor deck, a second rear mud room with shelving & seating. The powder room is clad with a custom printed New York streetscape wallpaper that reminds us of the inspiration for the entire home.

The primary bedroom is perched above all – on the third floor …and after seeing hundreds of third floor primary bedrooms throughout the city, your agent, you and your friends won’t forget this one. Step onto the 3rd floor landing and you’re greeted by a East-facing sunroom that literally is wrapped in floor to ceiling windows. On the left is a coffee station, and wet bar. on the right…you step out onto a large sun deck that faces the Toronto skyline and the city in every direction.

Step into the primary through privacy doors and the sheer spread and size of it will wow you. The gas fireplace is centred in a wall of custom shelving. The sprawling primary bath is modern and elegant and is bathed in windows and custom lighting. Massive walk-in closet is anchored by a centre island. A skylight, shelving for all dressing needs surrounding all walls is a deal maker.

The second floor houses a large 2nd bedroom. Large enough for a king-sized bed, with its own 4 pc ensuite bath and large double closet. The rest of the second floor offers 2 more large bedrooms w/access to balcony, a full laundry with storage, and a second utility room, and a second 4 piece bath.

The lower level simply doesnt feel like one.  It sprawls for more than 1200 square feet,with a massive rec room, glassed-in wine cellar, large nanny suite, 4 pc bath, a cantina and utility room.  Here the floors are heated, and the windows bathe it in natural light.

The extra wide and tall garage is accessed via rear laneway large enough for 2 full sized SUV and other toys.
