Situated in the heart of North Rosedale, Whitney Avenue is a picturesque street of established homes set beneath a leafy canopy. For more than a century, it has held sway as one of Toronto's most established addresses; minutes from the ravine and the shops of Yonge and Summerhill, and within reach of the city's best public and private schools. Number 20 is a centre-hall home in the classical style, taken back to its bones and reimagined by designer Connie Braemer in a contemporary renovation featured in House & Home. The result keeps the formality and proportion of the original architecture while opening the house up to create spaces perfectly-tailored for today's families. A striking foyer in concrete-look slab sets the palette that carries through the home: charcoal and warm rift-cut white oak, ebony-stained millwork, and black-framed glass doors that keep sight lines open while defining each room and setting the tone.The formal living and dining rooms at the front of the house have been reimagined through a modern lens while maintaining a sophisticated edge. Behind them, the wall between kitchen and family room has dissolved, creating an expansive open space for family living and entertaining, a striking kitchen anchored by a La Cornue range, and a rare servery kept within the expanded footprint. Oversized sliding doors open the family room onto the patio with outdoor living, swimming pool, and integrated hot tub. Upstairs, the primary suite has two walk-in closets and a marble-look porcelain ensuite, with a second bedroom and dedicated library on the same floor. The third floor holds three more bedrooms, and the lower level adds a recreation room, a wine cellar, and an additional bedroom. Secluded and private, yet minutes from the amenities those who call Rosedale home enjoy.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $2570/sqft, this property is priced above the Rosedale average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Rosedale's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Rosedale are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 7 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Rosedale.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 5 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
