When a house with a historic exterior hides a stunning modern interior behind its facade, you can bet it will be an interesting apartment.
25 Berryman Street is one of those classic Victorian heritage sites with peaked gables and decorative brick inlays offering a 19th century gem.
But behind its historic facade lies a modern and luxurious four-bedroom, four-bathroom home.
The front of the semi-detached house.
“From the street it looks like a modest Victorian house, [but] When you go into the house, it just keeps going. There is nearly 3,700 square feet of living space. [It’s] enough for a full gym,” broker Linda Chu told blogTO.
The living room.
Entering the home, you are greeted by a contemporary living room with a tiled gas fireplace and walnut accent wall.
The ground floor with an open concept.
The ground floor is open and light, and Chu adds that it’s great for entertaining.
The kitchen has integrated appliances and a Miele coffee machine.
“The open kitchen concept with two islands is perfect for today’s lifestyle, for large family gatherings or parties,” she said.
The dining room.
The dining room leads off the kitchen and has a built in sideboard and beautiful French arched doors leading out to the garden.
A bedroom.
Upstairs you will find the bedrooms with plenty of storage space.
The primary bathroom with freestanding bath.
The master bedroom has a double wall of closets and an ensuite bathroom overlooking the three-story lightwell.
A family room.
There is an office space and a family room on the third floor which could be converted back into bedrooms.
The fitness center.
In addition there is a full gym and catering room in the basement which could be converted into a fifth bedroom if desired.
The back yard with a gas fire pit.
And as spectacular as the interior of the house is, the back garden is the next level.
The pergola that shades the outdoor dining area.
“Downtown in Yorkville, you have a private, sunny, south-facing hideaway with a stone counter with built-in BBQ.”
The deck is made of IPE wood and granite stone.
The oasis is complete with lush landscaping, a pergola, and a seating area with a fire pit.
A home office.
The house is also very conveniently located.
The foyer and living room.
“You’re within walking distance to everything Yorkville has to offer,” Chu said. “From restaurants at Boulud at the Four Seasons, to flower shops at Avenue and Davenport, to designer shops at Bloor Street and the ROM.”
The master bedroom.
The home is currently listed for $5,450,000.
