History-rich condo in a converted old Toronto mansion hits market at $6 million

If you've ever wanted to live like Toronto royalty (and no, not the Drake kind), here's your chance.

Tucked away in one of Rosedale's most exclusive enclaves is 2- 78 Crescent Rd., a condo that is so jaw-droppingly gorgeous, it looks like it was plucked straight from the pages of an interior design magazine.

 "It is a beautiful home that has been totally reimagined into the perfect escape from the city," said realtor Jimmy Molloy.

The main floor. 

But then again, that's not hard to do when you're working with some great bones.

An original wood-burning fireplace. 

Fun fact, 78 Crescent Rd. was once the grand mansion owned by Sir Henry Pellatt—yes, the same guy who built Casa Loma, and it is almost as incredible as the castle. 

The family room. 

2- 78 Crescent Rd. is now one of only four condo suites in the old mansion. 

A dining area. 

It spans nearly 3,800 square feet across three levels and features tons of timeless details like crown moulding, leaded windows and herringbone wood floors.

The foyer. 

It also underwent a pretty hefty renovation, according to Molloy. 

The home office. 

"The space was crafted by the remarkable builder Steven Eisner, who built Integral House, a world-recognized architectural triumph," said Molloy, adding that the interiors were envisioned by Ashley Botten, who has curated "the most sublime interiors of some of the most important homes in Toronto." 

The Great Room. 

Let's start with the showstopper: the original ballroom (yes, really), now transformed into a Great Room that more than lives up to its name.

The terrace. 

It has soaring ceilings with ornate plaster detailing, an epic stone wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that open onto a picture-perfect terrace overlooking the treetops of Rosedale.

Another seating area in the Great Room. 

The rest of the condo is equally impressive and perfect if you like to entertain. 

The kitchen. 

The large kitchen is outfitted with sleek, top-of-the-line everything, while the cozy family room features a gas fireplace and bespoke millwork that makes the space feel warm and polished.

A powder room. 

This condo boasts two bedrooms and three bathrooms. 

The primary bedroom. 

The primary suite is complete with a spa-worthy ensuite, walk-in closet, dressing room, and a private office.

The lower recreation room. 

The lower level includes a flexible recreation room (currently a gym), an additional bedroom with an ensuite, and direct access to your very own private garage spot— plus two surface parking spaces.

An extra bedroom on the lower level. 

This home has all the charm and character of a historic estate, but with the ease and elegance of modern living.

The private parking. 

And location-wise, it's hard to beat. You're a quick walk to the subway, the shops and restaurants of Yonge Street, and some of the city's best green space.

The terrace. 

So in a city full of cookie-cutter condos, this one stands apart — a rare blend of history, luxury, and location.

The kitchen. 

But of course, "ballroom turned luxury residence in Rosedale" doesn't come cheap.

The front entrance. 

2-78 Crescent Rd. is listed for $5,795,000.
