Just over 20 years ago, 11 Hawthorn Ave. was a classic family home in Toronto’s Rosedale neighbourhood. It had four bedrooms and bathrooms and a distinct early 2000s design style.
It sold back in 2004 for $1,387,000, which was 8 per cent over asking.
But a lot can happen in 20 years, and 11 Hawthorn Ave. went from a pretty typical family home to a home worthy of being featured in Style at Home magazine.
The foyer.
While the exterior of the home kept its charming historical curb appeal, the interiors were completely transformed.
The powder room.
As you enter the home, you step into a welcoming foyer with a powder room.
The dining room.
Rich two-tone oak hardwood floors are featured throughout the home.
The living room.
The living room and dining room are open-concept with lots of character, including a wood-burning fireplace, leaded glass windows and built-in bookcases.
The breakfast nook.
The kitchen is probably one of the more dramatically transformed spaces in the home.
The kitchen.
It went from an all white basic kitchen to one with walnut cabinets, marble countertops, a long island and a butler’s pantry.
A reading nook on the second floor landing.
Upstairs, you have the four bedrooms.
The primary bedroom.
The primary bedroom has a large sitting area, an ensuite bathroom and bay windows.
The other bedroom on the second floor.
The other bedroom has tin ceilings and plenty of natural light.
The home office.
There’s also an office on the second floor, which features wraparound windows and a built-in walnut entertainment unit.
One of the third floor bedrooms.
On the house’s third floor, there are two extra bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom with marble finishes and heated floors.
The third floor bathroom.
11 Hawthorn Ave. boasts over 3,800 square feet of living space, including the basement.
The basement recreation room.
The basement is finished with heated floors, built-in speakers and a large recreation room.
The butler’s pantry looking into the dining room.
And while the interiors are definitely magazine worthy, the outdoor space could use a bit more work.
The mudroom that leads to the backyard.
The property is sitting on a 35-by-150-foot lot, so there’s so much room for potential.
The backyard.
You could put in a pool, or really go hard on landscaping a dream garden, but as of right now, it’s just a lawn.
The back of the house.
11 Hawthorn Ave. is listed for $4,998,000.
