Goth Toronto dream house with a romantic gazebo going for over $3M

If your Pinterest board has ever included the words "romantic," "moody," and "slightly dramatic but in a chic way," this Toronto listing might tick all your boxes.

The detached home at 38 Sorauren Ave. is basically serving full-on gothic dream-house energy with its all-black façade.

Located right in the heart of Roncesvalles, the home has been completely reimagined with a high-end renovation that leans hard into old-world detailing.

The living room. 

From the custom plaster mouldings, ceiling medallions, rosette accents, and a marble-surround fireplace, 38 Sorauren Ave. has all the European elegance of a Parisian apartment.

The open concept main floor. 

But then it balances all of that with a modern, open-concept layout and soaring ceilings.

The dining room. 

According to listing agent Donna Thompson, "This is more than a home, it's a statement. With uncompromising quality and elevated design throughout, it offers a luxurious lifestyle in the heart of one of Toronto's most dynamic neighbourhoods."

The kitchen. 

The kitchen is where things get especially extra.

Marble accents in the kitchen add architectural interest. 

Outfitted in rare Italian Paonazzo marble with bold veining and bespoke cabinetry, the kitchen feels like it should be featured in a design magazine.

The family room. 

The kitchen flows seamlessly into a family room with a walkout to the backyard.

The backyard. 

Which brings us to the real draw of this property: the garden. Set on a 156-foot-deep lot, the backyard feels endless and less like a backyard and more like a secret garden.

The gazebo. 

At the centre of it all is a custom wrought-iron gazebo.

The two-car garage. 

"The wrought-iron gazebo is nothing short of magical — a romantic focal point that transforms the garden into an intimate setting, perfect for candlelit dinners or life's most meaningful celebrations," says Thompson.

The foyer. 

The romantic vibes don't stop outside though. 

The primary bedroom. 

For example, in the primary suite there are French doors that open onto a Juliet balcony, what's more romantic than that?

The walk-in closet. 

Maybe a custom walk-in closet. Good thing, 38 Sorauren Ave. has that too.  

The primary ensuite. 

The primary ensuite is complete with marble finishes, heated floors, and a vintage-style clawfoot tub that feels like it belongs in a boutique hotel.

One of the bedrooms. 

Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms (two with ensuites), plus a flex space currently set up as a large office with bay window seating.

The basement. 

And then the lower level adds more living and entertaining space, with a wet bar, a glassed-in wine cellar, a TV lounge, and even a music room.

The flex space. 

The property also features a two-car laneway garage with extra parking and the potential to build a garden suite above, which opens the door to future income or multi-generational living.

The front door with custom penny tile flooring. 

Location wise, you're steps from Roncesvalles cafés, restaurants, and shops, with easy access to transit, High Park, and the lake.

The back of the house. 

The home at 38 Sorauren Ave. is listed for $3,395,000.
