This $5 million townhouse in an old Toronto mansion is pure class

Most townhouses in Toronto are narrow new builds with more stairs than anyone should reasonably have to climb.

But the townhomes at 35 Rosedale Rd.? They feel like they should come with a British title, a butler, a trust fund, and maybe a tiny dog named Winston. Basically, it's old money meets modern luxury.

Originally a grand single-family home, this mansion is known as the Captain Samuel Crangle House.

The covered front porch. 

Built in 1891 in the Queen Anne Revival style by architects Henry Gordon and Grant Helliwell — the duo behind several University of Toronto buildings and some of the city's most beautiful churches — it's a stunner.

The foyer. 

Think bay windows, ornate trimwork, warm hardwood floors, and classic brickwork that transports you straight to Victorian England.

One of the bedrooms with built-in storage. 

Eventually, the mansion was converted into condo townhomes, and they almost never hit the market.

A little office nook. 

In fact, it's been 20 years since this particular ground-floor unit was last sold.

The primary ensuite bathroom. 

The home at 1- 35 Rosedale Rd. boasts a dramatic 4,000 square feet of living space spread across three levels, and it's every bit as bougie as you'd hope.

The living room with a wood burning fireplace. 

The soaring ceilings and ornate architectural details scream sophistication, while the finishes lean modern and polished.

The great room. 

The great room alone could host a dinner party straight out of The Crown — complete with a fireplace that looks like it's seen its fair share of martinis and whispered secrets.

Then there's the original panelled library, complete with its own fireplace and a sublime bay window that begs for a rainy day, a good book, and a glass (or three) of scotch.

The kitchen with coffered ceilings. 

The gourmet kitchen is the stuff of Pinterest boards, with plenty of space for holiday feasts, late-night snacking, or just pretending you're Nigella Lawson while reheating leftovers.

The primary bedroom. 

Upstairs, the second floor flexes with three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom (because apparently sharing sinks is for peasants).

The terrace. 

There's also a tree-lined terrace for morning coffee or evening cocktails.

The wine cellar. 

The lower level doesn't skimp on the indulgence either — it has a walk-in wine cellar, another bedroom with a fireplace, and plenty of storage.

A dining nook in the kitchen. 

The only thing this townhouse doesn't come with is a garage, but who needs a car when you're two blocks from Yonge Street?

The upstairs landing. 

1 - 35 Rosedale Rd. is listed for $5,295,000.
