Welcome to 20 McKenzie Avenue, a timeless gem nestled in the heart of prestigious South Rosedale. Originally built in 1908, this stately home combines classic architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a perfect harmony of old-world charm and contemporary comfort.

Set back gracefully from the street, the home’s commanding presence is enhanced by mature trees, landscaped gardens, and a private drive with garage, , blending classic design and sophisticated curb appeal.

Step inside to discover a meticulously designed main floor that flows effortlessly from room to room. The formal living room, with its rich hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplace, and large picture windows overlooking the front garden, sets a warm and sophisticated tone. The updated, eat-in kitchen offers abundant counter space and cabinetry and opens seamlessly to a large formal dining room with French doors that lead to a private garden — an ideal setting for both elegant entertaining and relaxed family dinners.

The cozy, wood-panelled family room/library provides a warm retreat, featuring built-in bookcases and a gas fireplace that create a sense of comfort and timeless charm — the perfect space for reading, conversation, or quiet evenings by the fire.

Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms filled with natural light. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, with soaring vaulted ceilings, a luxurious 5-piece ensuite, and generous walk-in closet. Skylights throughout the second floor bathe the space in sunlight, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.

Natural light continues to flood the home through oversized windows framing the striking staircase, enhancing the sense of openness across both levels.

The finished lower level expands the living space with a large recreation room featuring a gas fireplace and custom built-ins — perfect for family movie nights or quiet relaxation. This level also includes a guest or nanny suite with its own bathroom, a wine cellar, an extra-large laundry room, a tool/work room, and abundant storage, offering unparalleled practicality alongside comfort and style.

Ideally situated, this exceptional home is steps from the TTC, within walking distance to Branksome Hall and other top-rated schools, and offers easy access to major highways and a quick drive to downtown Toronto.

20 McKenzie Avenue is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Rosedale’s history.
