A gorgeous, must-see home nestled in Toronto's Little Portugal has just hit the market, offering the family-friendly peace and privacy of a more suburban locale, but in the heart of the buzzing downtown neighbourhood.

The owners behind 241 Landsdowne pulled out all the stops in the house's design, making it a rare gem in the city, from its key features right down to its most minute details.

Finding a newly-built detached home in the region is hard enough, let alone one that boasts so many elegant and unique finishes.

Floor-to-ceiling windows, genuine white oak hardwood, wainscotting, multiple outdoor spaces (one of them an upper-level terrace), and more are sure to wow from the moment you enter the door.

The home feels modern, top-of-the-line, and one-of-a-kind. It has a sleek open-concept layout, 3+2 bedrooms, four bathrooms, and more than 3,800 square feet across four floors to grow.

One would never know they are in the big city, given that the area is fully residential and distanced from the traffic of more major roads.

Beyond the stunning luxury of the main living spaces — which include a chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, remodelled bathrooms (some with double sinks), expansive back patio area, Mörso wood burning stove and bespoke wood fixtures — there are also not just one, but two opportunities for passive income or multi-generational living.

First is the fully separate basement apartment suitable for tenants or for keeping grandparents or other loved ones close to home. The layout enables the owner to either maintain the use of one of two bedrooms or encompass it into the basement for a two-bedroom leasing option. 

Then, there's the even more exciting addition of a two-car garage that can stay as is or easily be converted into a laneway house.

Plumbing and heating in the secondary building are already roughed in, with the laneway report recently completed, and electrical and drainage established.

This sets the stage for the new buyers to take full advantage of the rare amenity — which, of course, comes in addition to all the other perks of the home that realtors aptly describe as "truly special."

Despite being a new build, the place has seen a few additional updates in just the last year, with bespoke furnishings that complement the custom nature of the entire property.

These include solid wood doors, new kitchen tiling, larger windows to showcase the views of the downtown skyline, and wallpaper that was brought in from overseas.

A mix of quiet side street seclusion and prime downtown convenience, plus refined, stylish interiors with cozy, individualized outdoor spaces, 241 Lansdowne Avenue is the exemplar for one's own personal urban oasis.
