Property Information:
Welcome to 105 Roxborough Street East - a Grand Dame of South Rosedale and a rare opportunity to own one of the neighbourhood's magnificent early 1900s residences. Set on an exceptional 50' x 145' south-facing lot with sweeping city skyline views, this handsome red-brick home has the scale, presence & proportions of another era - and is absolutely flooded with sunlight throughout the day. From the moment you enter, the grandeur is undeniable. Soaring 10' ceilings on the main floor, 9' on the second & over 8' on the third. Incredible principal rooms. Beautiful original character. A gracious centre hall plan and the width that only a 50' lot can provide. Outside, a private drive leads to an unusually large 2-car garage at the rear - another Rosedale rarity. Move in & enjoy this wonderful home as it is, or reimagine it into an extraordinary residence for the next generation. The bones, scale, lot & location are all here.And the history! 105 Roxborough was once home to Lt.-Col. Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, prominent Toronto businessman, yachtsman & Titanic survivor, who crossed the Atlantic some 40 times and escaped the Titanic by climbing down a rope into Lifeboat No. 6. He spent his final days at this very address. All of this in one of South Rosedale's most coveted pockets - walk to Yonge Street, Rosedale subway, Branksome Hall, Rosedale Jr PS, shops, restaurants & neighbourhood favourites. A magnificent house with a fascinating past, incredible presence & an even more exciting future. This is the kind of Rosedale opportunity that simply cannot be recreated. (id:7525)
