25 Ormsby Crescent Toronto

House of the Week: 25 Ormsby Crescent

If Hugh Heffner were looking to settle down in the bourgeois enclaves of Toronto, 25 Ormsby Crescent would undoubtedly make him feel right at home. Seemingly designed by a 70s adult film set dresser, this sprawling home in Forest Hill is brimming with references to the days of Boogie Nights. Vaulted birch ceilings and a brick-layered fireplace in the main living room just beg for a young Tom Selleck to be splayed out in his birthday suit on a bear-skin rug.

The fully functional bar in the wood-paneled basement is straight out of your grandparent's Florida summer home — not to mention a fancy leopard-print carpet running up the winding staircase, leading to the bedrooms which (of course) feature floor-to-ceiling mirrored walls. Phew, I'm getting hot and bothered just thinking about it. So for the burgeoning adult film auteur, me thinks we've found your abode.

MOVE ON IF:

You have a semblance of discerning taste and wish to spend your well earned millions on something a bit less dated. Oh, and if you think four bedrooms is a bit small given the price tag.
