154 Rusholme Road, Toronto Dufferin Grove

Rusholme Road is arguably the most desirable street in the neighbourhood and distinguishes itself as one of Toronto's finer & more unique streets. Dating from the early 1900s and largely Edwardian in its architectural style, the street was designed with an intention to defy the over density of neighbouring streets. Grandiose homes, large setbacks, some with large side yards allowing the rising & setting sun to penetrate the treelined street. All these combine to make Rusholme a park-like street where the impressive homes do not compete architecturally. 154 Rusholme itself underwent a major renovation a decade ago. Stripped to its bones and outer shell & revised to a modern ecofriendly contemporary home, flooded with light in all seasons and loft like ceilings on several floors, it maintains at the same time much of the original charm. From May to October you enjoy meals on the deck overlooking a mature garden which is the envy of your neighbours; you share a coffee or aperitif under the trees while the kids play in the garden or you watch the sun set as it envelopes the back yard and entertains you and your friends. Consider those long winter eves, you rush home, dissolve yourself of winter apparel in the generous front porch doubling as a solarium only to curl up on the couch with a blazing wood fire as you & loved ones sip on hot cocoa before retreating to the inviting candlelit dining room for whatever celebration festivity is at hand. 154 Rusholme is more than a house; it is a home where inhabitants thrive.
