Toronto luxury listings love to brag about privacy. Usually, that means a few hedges and maybe a gate.
But 23 Riverside Cres. takes things to an entirely different level.
Tucked away on one of the city's most exclusive streets, this sprawling stone-and-Tudor estate backs directly onto the Humber River with roughly 150 feet of private river access.

The living room with a double-sided fireplace.
The home sits on a massive half-acre pie-shaped lot with south- and west-facing exposure, and while the property looks historic from the outside, it's actually relatively new.

The kitchen dining area overlooking the river.
The current owners completely transformed the property between 2016 and 2018, turning what was once a restored Tudor home into a roughly 10,000-square-foot luxury compound.

The family room with views out to the river.
Back in 2007, the property sold for $2,050,000 when it was still a comparatively modest three-bedroom, four-bathroom Tudor-style house.
The kitchen.
Now? It's a five-bedroom, eight-bathroom mega-estate with amenities that make it feel like a private luxury resort.
Wood beams and warmth, character and charm.
The main floor is filled with soaring cathedral ceilings and massive west-facing windows that frame the Humber River like a living artwork.
A home office.
And unlike some ultra-modern mansions that feel cold and vaguely intimidating, this place still leans into warmth and old-world charm with stone detailing, fireplaces, and classic Tudor-inspired architecture throughout.

One of the bedrooms.
Upstairs, each of the five bedrooms comes with its own ensuite, because at this price point, apparently nobody should ever have to share a bathroom again.

The primary bedroom.
The primary suite feels especially over-the-top with a fireplace, massive walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom designed for people who probably own multiple robes.

The lower-level recreation room and wet bar.
But honestly, the most quintessential Canadian feature in the entire house might be downstairs.

The indoor hockey rink.
Because yes, there is an indoor hockey rink. Not a sports simulator. Not a little shooting area in the basement. An actual indoor hockey rink.

The gym.
The lower level also includes a gym, sauna, entertainment space, and walkout access to the backyard terraces and pool area, which makes this home feel uniquely prepared for both winter hibernation and summer hosting season.

A fire pit beside the river.
Outside, the grounds are basically cottage-country fantasy dropped into Toronto proper.

The pool and hot tub in the backyard.
There's a pool, pool house, fire pit, multiple terraces, and direct access to the Humber River and nearby trails.

A little bridge on the property.
And somehow, despite feeling completely secluded, you're still just minutes from Bloor West Village, the subway, downtown, and the airport.

A balcony overlooking the backyard.
Which means this house manages to pull off the impossible Toronto luxury real estate combo: total privacy without forcing you to live two hours away from civilization.

Currently, 23 Riverside Cres. is listed for $13,800,000.
