A newly rebuilt\u00a0home in Toronto’s Yonge and St. Clair area just hit the market looking less like a traditional 416 semi and more like the kind of place that would be featured in a 12-page Architectural Digest spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And honestly, that comparison might not even be dramatic enough.<\/p>\n

The home has already earned international design recognition, winning the 2025 International Design & Architecture Award for Interior Design Scheme \u2013 Canada before later being featured in World’s Best II \u2013 50 Interiors from Around the Globe.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The main floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Originally sold back in 2016 for $1,670,000<\/a>,\u00a0 the property has since undergone a complete transformation into what is now essentially a brand-new custom luxury residence.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The home was rebuilt in 2024 through a collaboration between KUA Architecture<\/a> and Ossington Homes<\/a>, with the design taking inspiration from Victorian brownstones while layering in a much more modern, minimalist aesthetic.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The dining room and front entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The result is the kind of ultra-curated luxury home that feels expensive without constantly screaming about it.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The kitchen with\u00a0kick-plates that expose steps to reach upper cabinetry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, the roughly 3,300-square-foot home leans heavily into Japandi design principles, blending Scandinavian minimalism with Japanese-inspired simplicity and natural materials.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The primary ensuite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The interiors are filled with hand-applied microcement, warm woods, natural stone, oversized windows, custom millwork, flush baseboards, and hidden storage tucked into basically every surface imaginable.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

A handcrafted wooden staircase connects all four levels, functioning as both a defining architectural feature and an artistic centrepiece.<\/p>\n

The main living space centres around a sculptural fireplace and landscaped garden views, while a dramatic staircase connects all four floors of the home.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

One of the bedrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Upstairs, the home offers four bedrooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The primary bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The entire third floor has been dedicated to a private primary retreat complete with a spa-style ensuite, dressing room, and terrace positioned for sunset views.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The lower level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lower level continues the luxury theme with radiant heated floors, a fully customized gym, extensive built-in storage, and walk-out access.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The gym.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And of course, because no modern luxury listing is complete without it, the entire house is fully loaded with smart home automation, enterprise-grade networking, automated lighting, integrated audio systems, security features, and dual climate zones.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The backyard with a garage made of heritage red blend masonry sourced from Ibstock,\u00a0UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And somewhere between the imported UK brickwork, the hidden vents, and the microcement everything, 90 Macpherson Ave. kind of captures where ultra-luxury Toronto design is heading now.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

A bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Less flashy. More restrained. Quietly wealthy in a way that somehow feels even more expensive.<\/p>\n

\"90<\/p>\n

The patio and rear of the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The home is currently listed for $4,595,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A newly rebuilt\u00a0home in Toronto’s Yonge and St. Clair area just hit the market looking less like a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59466,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[25805,1668,25806,48],"class_list":["post-59465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-25805","tag-avenue","tag-macpherson","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
