If you've ever wondered what old-money Toronto elegance actually looks like, 175 Teddington Park Ave. is basically the blueprint.
The five-bedroom, nine-bathroom Tudor mansion just hit the market, and it's not just another big, expensive house; it's a nearly century-old property with serious historical pedigree, sitting on a massive half-acre lot right next to the Rosedale Golf Club.
Originally built in 1928 for Sir Thomas White — yes, the finance minister who introduced graduated income tax to Canada — the roughly 6,500-square-foot home has had only three families in its entire history. Which, in Toronto real estate terms, is basically unheard of.
The foyer.
And somehow, despite all the updates, it still leans hard into that old-school grandeur.

The family room.
Exposed wooden beams, leaded windows, wood-burning fireplaces, custom millwork, wood-panelled walls and oak floors all contribute to the charm and character of the home. 
The dining room.
According to past owners, this was a house built for entertaining and that energy hasn't gone anywhere.

The living room.
Fast-forward to today, and the place has been completely taken back to the studs and rebuilt by Joe Brennan, with interiors by Lori Morris. So while the bones are historic, everything else is very much luxury-2026.

The kitchen and family room.
The principal rooms are exactly what you'd expect from a home like this: big, formal, and designed to impress.

A sunroom.
But it's the mix of those grand spaces with more relaxed, livable areas that makes it feel less like a historical museum and more like somewhere you'd actually want to hang out.

The open-concept family room, kitchen with breakfast nook.
There's an epicurean kitchen, plus a sunroom and family room that open out onto terraces, blurring that indoor-outdoor line in a way that feels very now.

The library.
And then there are the flex spaces, like a richly panelled library gives serious "read a leather-bound book and ignore your emails" energy.

The wine cellar.
The lower level comes equipped with a wine cellar and a space that could easily become a full home theatre.

The primary bedroom.
Upstairs, the primary suite goes all in, with a dressing room that includes a centre island and custom built-ins.

The loft.
The third-floor loft adds even more space, with two additional bedrooms and bathrooms tucked under the roofline.

The backyard.
But honestly, the real star here might be the backyard, or the grounds, if you will.

The pergola-covered dining area.
Framed by mature trees, the yard features manicured gardens, a pool, a hot tub, a pergola-covered dining area, and a tiered fountain that feels straight out of a European villa.

The pool.
Fun fact: a pool was first added here back in 1958, which was considered wildly extravagant at the time. The then-owner even installed a seven-foot glass fence and hired a lifeguard for the neighbourhood kids, who basically treated it like a private club.

The back of the house.
That sense of community and gathering still feels baked into the property.

The coach house bar.
There's even a fully loaded coach house that takes things to another level, with its own kitchen (complete with a window that opens into an outdoor bar), a retractable awning, a gym with a walkout to a basketball court, and a lofted guest suite.

The primary bedroom walk-in closet.
And the location doesn't hurt either.

Another bedroom.
Set on one of the most prestigious streets in Younge and Lawrence, the home looks out over the fairways of Rosedale Golf Club.

The kitchen.
It's also close to some of Toronto's top schools, transit, and just a short drive downtown, which is about as convenient as a half-acre estate in the city gets.

The primary ensuite bathroom.
The current version of 175 Teddington Park Ave. is very polished, very luxurious, and very expensive — but what makes it stand out is that underneath all that, it still feels like a house that's been lived in, celebrated in, and passed down with stories intact.

A bedroom.
Which, in a market full of brand-new builds trying to fake character, is kind of priceless.

The pool facing the coach house.
Currently, 175 Teddington Park Ave. is listed for $10,800,000.
