The Hoggs Hollow area is known for being home to some of Toronto’s most outrageously expensive mega-mansions. It’s a neighbourhood where flaunting one’s wealth and building extravagant houses is the norm.
This is an area where houses go for an average of $3.4 million, though homes in the neighbourhood regularly sell for upwards of $4 million.
One impressive home in the area at 34 Plymbridge Cres. W just hit the market and is listed for $3,980,000.
But the price is not the only thing that makes this home special.
The four-bedroom, five-bathroom home, located on a quiet cul-de-sac, hasn’t graced the market in over three decades.
Surrounded by nature and estate homes, this home feels so classic it could be in a Nancy Meyers movie.
From the moment you lay eyes on 34 Plymbridge Cres. W, the home’s timeless curb appeal is evident.
The lushly landscaped front yard exudes charm, while the inside of 34 Plymbridge Cres. W is, oh, so cozy and welcoming.
And for a house that hasn’t been on the market in 30 years, she looks good. The owners have done plenty of upgrades throughout the years.
Listing agent Janine Sheeres told blogTO that renowned Toronto architect Napier Simpson designed the second-floor addition to the house in the 1970s.
In the early 90s, the owners did another major renovation.
For example, the kitchen was upgraded with some high-end appliances like a Subzero fridge, Jennair stovetop and wall oven, a Miele dishwasher.
And there are definitely some rooms in the house that might benefit from another update – such as the bathrooms with the melamine countertops.
But despite some of the dated parts, the home has really good bones.
On the main floor, you have all the principal living spaces, including a mud room and home office.
The rooms are cozy yet bright and spacious.
And while the interior might not be to everyone’s taste, it’s giving Martha Stewart vibes, which we respect.
One unique aspect of this house is that the primary bedroom is on the main floor, which Sheeres says makes it a “fantastic scale-down option.”
But if you’re not at the “scale down” phase, there are three other bedrooms on the second floor, so there’s ample space for growing families or those who love hosting guests.
There is not much outdoor space on the property itself since it’s an irregular-shaped lot. But the house faces Brookfield Park, so there’s that.
And, of course, location is top tier.
Sheeres notes that 34 Plymbridge Cres. W is just a short stroll from York Mills subway station, the shops and restaurants of Yonge Street, and exclusive clubs like Granite and the Cricket Club.
Whether you envision moving in as is, renovating, or living out your Nancy Meyers dream, the possibilities are endless at 34 PLymbridge Cres. W.
