20 Lytton Blvd

This stunning all-brick home combines 2.5-storeys, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, parking for 6 more, and 2761 square feet (above grade) on a 50′ x 135′ lot just a 3-minute walk to Sporting Life (and school districts). This property, which has been meticulously maintained by the same family for more than six decades, is ready to hear the pitter-patter of new owners across its oak floors. It is tucked away just in from Yonge Street and equidistant between Eglinton and Lawrence.

This home is special, evident from the moment you first walk up the front porch and through the front doors. ‘Grand’ doesn’t begin to describe the main foyer with its oak panelling, trim and bench and view of the majestic staircase leading upstairs. But the star of the show in this foyer is the GORGEOUS 3-panel original stained glass bay-style window. The rest of the main floor doesn’t disappoint. The principal rooms are very large and all feature extra large windows and 9’ ceilings. The formal living room fireplace and mantle add literal and figurative warmth, with little bays and peekaboo windows on each side. You’ll be amazed at the size of the windows in the formal dining room. Complete with French doors to a little sunroom off the back and incredible beamed ceilings. But the best part? It’s the incredible double oak pocket doors that separate the two rooms. On this level, there is also a 4-piece bath and kitchen with a walk-out to a back deck overlooking the yard and interlocked brick driveway.

Up the wood stairs (with beautiful original Edwardian wood railing) you’ll find a landing with three-panel bay-style windows (with original pulls and pulleys) leading up to four very large bedrooms on the 2nd floor, with 8.5’ ceilings. The front primary bedroom features a large south-facing bay window and fireplace with a sitting area and peekaboo windows. One of the back bedrooms has a plumbed addition (perhaps a laundry room in the future?). All bedrooms are bright and spacious with enormous potential. There is also a four-piece bath on this level. The 3rd floor features two more bedrooms with 8’ vaulted ceilings, large walk-in closets and a jack ‘n jill bathroom between the rooms. In its next life, it could make a very special primary suite.

The full basement with 7.5’/8’ ceilings is brimming with the possibility of expanded living space. And the backyard doesn’t disappoint either. It’s 50’ wide with a two-car garage and interlocking brick driveway that can fit about 6 more cars. And, despite its proximity to, well, everything, it is quiet and private.

The home was built in 1918 but has had some updates along the way so, while new owners will want to make it their own, there is nothing that *needs* (i.e. scary knob and tube) to be done immediately.

It all adds up to the best of Lawrence Park living at 20 Lytton.
