41 Nanton Ave. is an exquisite four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence on a rare 50 x 150-foot lot designed (and actually owned) by renowned architect Beaumont Jarvis. From the property's privacy to its lush outdoor living, this home is all about remarkable character and cinematic beauty.

Now this is curb appeal! 

Approaching the home, nestled on one of the most prestigious streets in Rosedale, you'll immediately notice the distinctive Dutch Gambrel roof and facade. Keen eyes will recognize this home from acclaimed movies and TV shows including Suits and 12 Monkeys.

Moving inside, you'll find restored elements of original design, such as finely crafted moulding and leaded and stained glass windows.

Original design work is featured throughout the property, like the bold wooden beams.

On the main level, you'll find the principal rooms are remarkably sized and designed for hosting, entertaining, and relaxing. Two grand staircases anchor the home and connect the three levels together.

The home also has a coveted mudroom that leads directly to the gardens.

The showstopping, modern chef's kitchen perfectly blends into the home's historic style. Bright whites are a beautiful background for French upgrades like the imported Lacanche range and Gaggenau fridge and freezer.
