| Set on one of Rosedale's most coveted streets, 208 Roxborough Drive is a 1928 Tudor Revival residence of landmark stature, designed by the prize-winning architect Harold Richard Watson. The composition is grounded in stone, with tracery, a sweeping bay, and a procession of steps to a carved entrance. Inside, the entrance hall is crowned by a coffered plaster ceiling, and light pours through original leaded glass. Wood panelling lines the principal rooms, concealing built-in cabinetry and adorned with fine scrollwork rare in both quality and extent. Original fireplaces ground the rooms, and a hand-crafted staircase rises through the heart of the home. The living room spans the full width of the house, scaled for an era that built for permanence. Above grade, the residence offers more than 5,000 square feet, with over 2,300 more on the lower level. The primary suite includes a private office, walk-in closets, and an ensuite, with four additional bedrooms completing the second floor. Beyond the house is the land itself: the lot extends over 88 feet wide by 408 feet deep, descending into the ravine, a depth almost unheard of in Rosedale. Included in the sale are approved plans and permits for an addition and renovation by Taylor Smyth Architects, with landscape design by Cecconi Simone, a striking contemporary statement uniting irreplaceable historic character with modern convenience inside and out. The rear garden becomes a private landscape, a patio above a swimming pool overlooking the ravine; the primary becomes a jewel box framed by tree views; and the garage is shifted for privacy yet kept for convenience. 208 Roxborough Drive is a true landmark, and an opportunity to become part of its story. |
