$3M Toronto home backs onto protected ravine and feels like a hidden nature retreat

At 78 South Kingsway, a beautifully custom-built home in Etobicoke awaits with 4+1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.

Nestled in the prestigious Kingsway community and backing onto the lush greenery surrounding the Humber River, the detached home feels like a private retreat while still being close to the city.

The stunning facade has been finished in stone, stucco, and glass accents.

Currently listed for $2.9 million, the property offers a rare sense of tranquility in Toronto's west end.

The protected ravine canopy provides a natural green barrier at the rear of the property.

Walk in and bask in the beautiful sunlight streaming in from the dramatic overhead skylight. The foyer opens to the architectural glass-enclosed oak staircase, while engineered oak flooring runs throughout the property. 

A fully integrated smart home infrastructure includes a Sonos-powered speaker network, smart lighting, and automated window blinds.

Now onto the chef's kitchen, where a quartz waterfall island sits beautifully in the centre. It's complemented by top-of-the-line Thermador and Bosch appliances.

The room itself (and accompanying open-concept family room) seamlessly opens to a raised deck via glass double doors, allowing for indoor and outdoor entertaining.

Notice the tailor-made millwork found in the kitchen.

On the top level, you'll find relaxing spaces designed for relaxation and ease. Three generously-sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, are perfect for families of any size.

Every upper-level bathroom is engineered with electric radiant heated floors.

The primary suite is truly spa-like. Overlooking the ravine canopy, it features a private balcony, dual walk-in closets, and a timeless five-piece ensuite.

Built for maximum efficiency, the top level is home to a custom-built laundry room.

A private balcony, two walk-in closets, and a ravine lot? That's storybook living!

Bringing it down to the lower level, aka your new social hub, you'll find a fully finished space with a sprawling recreation room, custom wet bar, and built-in audio.

These tall ceilings are a rare find in a Toronto basement.

An independent wing has also been added, with a separate exterior entrance and walk-up configuration. This fifth bedroom (and bathroom) is ideal for extended family, guests, or even a live-in nanny.

White design and blonde flooring mean your personal style will perfectly fit within the home.

But the real shoswstopper is the garden space, backing onto the protected ravine of the Humber River.

Just think about all the parties and celebrations you can host here.

The (landscaped) outdoor entertaining possibilities are endless with the rear deck, architectural lighting, and outdoor audio speakers. You'll also love the privacy of having zero rear neighbours.

The property also features a built-in 1-car garage paired with a private double driveway, accommodating 3 vehicles.

As a ground-up, custom-built home, 78 South Kingsway offers more than just a place to live. Every square foot has been optimized for ease, including automated blinds, climate zones, smart lighting, and more.

Don't forget you're minutes away from the Humber Bay Arch Bridge, High Park, and lakefront trails.

While significant architectural features ground the home, standout design aspects and a prime location mean elevated living for new owners. And with the ravine lot, you're looking at a unique place to call home.
