114 Glen Rd

Nestled in Toronto's prestigious Rosedale neighbourhood, this landmark mansion occupies an expansive 100' x 122' estate-sized lot and offers over 7,500 square feet of impeccably designed living spaces. With 7 + 1 generously proportioned bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and an exceptional third-floor loft, this grand residence seamlessly blends historic architecture with the scale, elegance, and functionality. Originally built circa 1900 for the distinguished Applegate family, the home has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully maintained to preserve it's architectural heritage including a self portrait stain glass window of Mrs. Applegate herself. Drawing inspiration from the classical traditions of Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladiio - most notably his iconic Villa Rotunda in Vicenza, Italy - the home reflects timeless design and exceptional craftmanship. A majestic octagonal central hall, framed by twelve lonic columns, creates an unforgettable first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the residence. Throughout the home, rich period details abound: original oak hardwood floors, finely hand-craved oak mouldings and wainscoting, intricate millwork, and 6 fireplaces with decorative tile and brick hearths. The soaring 10-foot ceilings are adorned with ornate plaster crown mouldings, ceiling medallions, and oak-beamed details that speak to the home's historical significance. Expansive bow windows and beautifully preserved stained glass flood the interior with natural light and highlight the warm, elegant atmosphere. Outside, the property is a private oasis, surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, and tranquil gardens that offer rare serenity in the heart of the city. A detached two-car garage and additional parking for three vehicles provide added convenience. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a truly iconic Rosedale residence - an architectural treasure steeped in history and timeless charm.
