You’d be forgiven if you mistook 241 Strathallan Wood for a Regency period film set, because it certainly could be one.
This sprawling estate in Lytton Park has more than 20,000 square feet of living space and it is giving old money, grandma chic and Bridgerton set vibes all at once. It’s simply iconic.
The property is actually four separate lots that were combined for the purpose of this estate, giving 241 Strathallan Wood an impressive 307-foot frontage.
The living room.
You’d never guess that it’s such a large property given that you can barely see the mansion from the street through all of the mature trees on the lot.
The foyer.
The home was clearly built for someone who likes their privacy, as blogTO got zero tea when we reached out.
Views into the solarium.
On the main floor of the house, you have all the typical principal rooms.
The dining room.
They’re all decorated in a classical European style that makes the entire place feel like you’ve been transported into another country and era.
The living room.
There’s an abundance of antique chairs, heavy drapery, intricate crown moulding, and beautifully ornate chandeliers and sconces.
The library.
The library — yes, it has its own library — might be the most decadent room on the main floor, with floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases, dark wood-panelled walls, and herrigbone wooden floors that are covered by thick Persian rugs.
It’s a vibe.
The kitchen.
The kitchen, on the other hand, might be the most underwhelming part of the house, surprisingly.
It’s a long, beige galley-style kitchen with many, many cupboards to suit all your storage needs and more.
French doors and double height ceilings bring a sense of grandeur.
While undoubtedly practical and functional, it’s hard not to wish for something more: Perhaps 1800s-style, but with high-end appliances.
A bedroom.
On the upper level of the home, 241 Strathallan Wood boasts five spacious bedrooms.
The primary bedroom.
They are all staged with two beds in each, which is historically a sign of wealth and nobility (because sharing beds is for the poor, of course).
An ensuite bathroom.
As if this house needed to state “I’m rich, you’re not” any louder, even the bathrooms are accented with delicate pink tiles, gold hardware and chandeliers.
Another living room.
Also on the second floor is a study and second living room if the first wasn’t enough space for you.
A playroom.
The basement has just one giant play room and an indoor pool — perfect for families with enough kids to actually fill the home.
The indoor pool.
The pool looks like something out of a movie or hotel, with light green tiles and murals painted on the walls.
Patios and gardens.
And to top it all off, the home is surrounded by landscaped gardens and plenty of large, healthy trees.
More gardens.
241 Strathallan Wood is listed for $18,000,000, which in the Bridle Path is common place, but in this neighbourhood of Lytton Park, decidedly less so.
The study.
Homes in this area typically sell for around $2.2 million, and the most expensive property sold home in the last year was the neighbouring 234 Strathallan Wood for just under $7 million.
The breakfast room.
The priciest house of all time to sell here was 350 Cortleigh Blvd., which sold for $10,850,000 at the height of the Toronto real estate market craze.

It will definitely be interesting to see what 241 Strathallan Wood actually ends up selling for, and if it beats the 350 Cortleigh Blvd. record.
