On a lot stretching 58 by 290 feet, the property unfolds like a private estate. The heated inground pool with waterslide becomes the anchor of every summer event. An Ipe wood deck with electric awnings (2019) extends the season in both directions. Gardens bloom in careful sequence from spring through fall… a living calendar of colour and fragrance that rewards every window in the house. The two-car detached garage tucks neatly away, leaving the landscape to lead.

The home has been independently inspected and rated above average for a property of its age, a meaningful designation for a 100-year-old home and a genuine reflection of how it has been maintained and improved. The slate roof is in excellent condition. Mechanical systems are current: a Daikin high-efficiency gas furnace (2023), Daikin central air (2017), and a Mitsubishi split system serving the third floor (2024). And you can be the safety blanket for your whole family when power outages hit, with an electrical generator on 200-amp service (2021, annually serviced), so no weather event disrupts the rhythm of family life.

Inside, 2.5 storeys of carefully proportioned living unfold across five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The floor plan is exactly what a busy family needs: generous principal rooms, a large updated, eat-in kitchen, a games room in the lower level, and a sunken main floor family room anchored by a wet bar and panoramic views of the back garden and pool! The room the whole house eventually gravitates toward. A second gas fireplace in the living room adds warmth and occasion in equal measure.

The principal bedroom is its own sanctuary, with a sitting area, generous closet space, and a renovated ensuite that overlooks the back gardens. In May, that view earns its keep.

Downstairs, the fully finished basement is a home within the home: a rec room with a gas fireplace and a Murphy bed for guests, the billiards room, a proper wine cellar, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, a workshop, and storage that actually solves problems. This level alone separates 124 Blythwood from everything else at this address.

For families, the school corridor is the best in midtown: Blythwood Junior Public School, Glenview Senior Public School, and Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute provide a seamless path from the first day of kindergarten through to graduation.

The neighbourhood does the rest. Lawrence Station Line 1 is a 14-minute walk and all the groceries, cafes, dining spots are within easy reach. The Don Valley Ravine system begins practically at your back gate. Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens is a short stroll away. And when the city calls for a pause, the 401 is minutes from your front door to escape the pace of Toronto.

124 Blythwood Road is not a starter home. It is the forever home. Deeply rooted, impeccably kept, and finally ready for its next family.
