From the curb, 82 Hudson Dr. looks like your typical Toronto red brick home.
And for a really long time, it was just that.
In 2012, when it last sold, 82 Hudson Dr. was nothing overly special. Just a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house that was in need of some updating.
And boy, did it ever get updated! The home, while it still maintains its typical red brick exterior, is a modern beauty on the inside.
It is so beautiful, in fact, that it has been featured in House and Home Magazine and several commercials.
Realtor Maggie Lind explains that the home was “stripped to its core” and then re-imaged and re-designed with the help of architect Gillian Green, who has worked on projects like Ace Bakery and the Harbourfront Centre.
Green went for a reduced material palette to create a modern space where subtle textures and colours take the spotlight.
The design is also incredibly thoughtful, even down to the smallest of details.
For example, the front hall mat is recessed into the floor, so no one ever trips on a rogue corner of the carpet.
Although the attention to detail is most notable in the kitchen. It has almost exclusively drawer storage – because drawers are superior to cupboards – and the drawers have 30.5-inch depths.
There are also integrated appliances as well as two beverage fridges and a full wine fridge.
The bespoke kitchen also has a wall of pantry storage with deep pull-out drawers that store ALL the snacks.
The main floor is an open-concept space that’s separated by built-in units that provide ample storage.
The polished concrete floor might feel cold for some, but the warm wood tones really warm up the spaces.
The main floor is bright and airy thanks to the 21-foot wall of glass that overlooks the backyard.
The second floor of the home has the bedrooms.
The bedrooms come equipped with custom storage, and two of them have ensuite bathrooms.
The primary bedroom is “king-sized” and comes complete with views of the garden, a walk-in closet, a walk-out rooftop deck, and a four-piece bathroom.
The lower level of the house is no less stylish than the rest of the house.
It has a large recreation room, as well as a guest bedroom, a three-piece bathroom and a dog shower.
Also it’s worth pointing out that this wasn’t just an aesthetic renovation, the guts of the house are all basically brand new.
As Lind mentions in the listing, all the interior systems were replaced, including wiring, plumbing, ventilation, heating, cooling, drains, and insulation.
And while it’s hard to say what the outdoors offers since it’s covered in snow, it does look like there’s a substantial backyard with lots of space. The listing also mentions a built-in BBQ and concrete-surrounded gas fireplace.
82 Hudson Dr. is listed for $5,995,000.
