Less than 10 years ago, 15 Durie St. E in Toronto was a tiny one-bed, one-bath bungalow that sold for only $800,000.
Whoever bought the tiny house had vision and made a solid investment.
Now, 15 Durie St. E is a four-bedroom, six-bathroom stunning luxury home with more smart features than a Silicon Valley startup’s break room, and it’s listed for 350 per cent more than its purchase price.
The foyer and living room.
The home was designed by Erik Jenson with the help of Carolyne Lee and blends mid-century modern style with a fresh, contemporary edge.
“The residence underwent significant interior design and renovation planning, particularly for the kitchen and third-floor bar areas,” explained realtor Yen Ly.
“The design was managed by CLL Design Studio, focusing on custom cabinetry, integrated appliances, and tailored storage solutions.”
A gas fireplace in the living room adds a cozy feeling.
The main floor is open concept with big bright windows, herringbone oak floors, custom walnut millwork, and marble accents.
The dining room and kitchen.
The home is quite minimalist but doesn’t feel too cold or unwelcoming thanks to the mix of wood tones throughout.

At the front of the house, you have the living room, which flows seamlessly into the dining room and kitchen.
Integrated appliances make the kitchen sleek.
The kitchen comes complete with high-end stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage.

But what truly makes this house stand out from all the other new builds is the amount of smart home features.
