A 1915 Toronto home looks like something straight out of a fairytale

While it might not be everyone's dream to live in a fairytale cottage surrounded by trees, birds, squirrels, and woodland creatures, if it's your fantasy, 42 Brookfield Rd. is the ultimate dream Toronto house. 

Built in 1915, according to Geowarehouse, 42 Brookfield Rd. is a magical five-bedroom, four bathroom home tucked away on a massive ravine lot.

We're talking 100 feet wide at the back and almost 200 feet deep. 

The dining room. 

This charming Toronto home oozes timeless character, with lovingly maintained details like coffered ceilings in the dining room and intricate plaster moulding throughout the main and second floors. 

The foyer. 

There's even a set of butler's stairs from back when the home had staff who needed to get to the second floor unseen.

A sunroom that could be a home office. 

Sadly, it is currently closed off, but the vibes remain immaculate.

The living room is almost 400 square feet. 

It's the kind of place that feels cozy and lived-in, especially when the wood-burning fireplace is crackling in the living room.

A bedroom. 

Realtor Errol Paulicpulle also noted that the home has plenty of "nooks and crannies", making it ideal for kids. 

The basement. 

The home boasts just under 4,400 square feet of living space, including the basement level that walks out. 

Another bedroom. 

And it's surprising how large the rooms are for a home of this era. 

The primary bedroom. 

The primary suite alone is 320 square feet and features heated floors in the en-suite bathroom and direct access to a secluded deck.

A bathroom. 

Also, don't worry about the property being a century home; it's been updated throughout. 

The kitchen. 

There's a new HVAC system, the kitchen has shiny new stainless steel appliances, heated floors in the lower level bathrooms, and they even added a fun bar fridge on the third floor for rooftop drinks. 

The backyard in the summer. 

The main draw, of course, is the surrounding nature and property. "[It] is like living in a forest," said Paulicpulle. 

The whimsical yard. 

"The backyard is full of trees, birds, squirrels, chipmunks and raccoons, with the occasional fox. In the last 25 years there have been about three sightings of deer."

The third-floor bar fridge. 

And yet, the subway is only a 10-minute walk away. 

The powder room. 

But best of all, 42 Brookfield Rd. just lowered its asking price.
