30 Hawarden Cres. Toronto

This $4.5 million Toronto home was originally built in 1935 for an oil executive

Built in 1935 for an Imperial Oil executive, this classic English Tudor Revival-style home exudes charm and sophistication. 

But also, duh, of course it does! It was built with oil money, after all. 

As you approach the home, you're greeted by a grand front porch and an even grander chimney. The deep setback and powered wrought-iron gates create a sense of privacy and exclusivity, setting the stage for the luxurious living that awaits.30 Hawarden Cres. Toronto

Step through the front door and into the spacious foyer, where you're immediately struck by the intricate European classical design that flows throughout the home.

"The owners drew inspiration from their travels to Europe and designed the home to reflect their extensive art and antiquities collection," listing agent Madison Wine, from Sutton-Group Admiral Realty Inc., told blogTO.

And while the house has undoubtedly seen generations grow up and been home to many happy memories, after 38 years it could definitely use some updating.
