133 Madison Avenue Toronto

This $5.9 million Toronto mansion comes with a massive coach house

From basketball courts to glass-walled bathrooms, there's no telling what's hidden inside the homes of Toronto. Behind the commanding brick facade of a recently-listed Annex mansion lies a second, free-standing abode.

Located at 133 Madison Avenue, the main house was originally built in 1901 for Sylvester Briggs, one of the founders of the Steele-Briggs Seed Company and an honorary director of the Canadian National Exhibition Association.

The comforts of the 21st century, like an exquisitely renovated kitchen, are accompanied by stunning original details, like ornate plasterwork.
