When you think of Scandinavian design, images of sleek, minimalist interiors and an unwavering connection to nature likely come to mind.

It's a style renowned for its simplicity, functionality, and a certain quiet elegance—perfect for those who appreciate beauty without unnecessary adornment.

And 47 Roxborough St W is the epitome of that ethos.

The dining room with an integrated fireplace. 

Completely reimagined in 2022 with the help of Etherington Designs, this house is airy and light-filled, with clean lines, organic materials, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

The kitchen. 

From its European knot-grade white oak floors to the fully integrated Sonos speaker system and custom millwork throughout, every inch of this home speaks for itself.

The primary bedroom ensuite bathroom. 

According to listing agent Lauren Haw, the transformation of this property was a labour of love for the owners.

The primary bedroom with a custom built bed. 

"This property has been held by the owners for over 10 years—they did this very thoughtful renovation over a span of two years, and the work was completed in 2022. Nearly everything in this home is brand new.

A bedroom in the basement. 

"The owners didn't just update the home—they underpinned the basement to create eight-foot ceilings, dropped the main floor to achieve 10-foot ceilings, and installed the striking two-storey window wall in the back living area, which feels more like an atrium.

The living room. 

Add in stunning views of Ramsden Park and the Toronto skyline, and you have a home that feels like an oasis in the heart of the city.

The dining room. 

On the main floor of the house, you have the principal rooms. The kitchen and living room are open-concept, but the dining room is its own space, creating a more intimate setting for dinner parties. 

The sleek, minimalist kitchen with integrated appliances. 

The kitchen is, of course, a chef's dream. Outfitted with built-in Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a large-scale natural stone island with seating for five, the kitchen is both functional and beautiful.  

A bedroom on the second floor.

Upstairs, the second floor has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, each with heated floors.

The office. 

But the standout feature of the second floor, according to Haw, has to be the office. It overlooks Ramsden Park and the skyline from two side-by-side built-in white oak desks. 

The primary bedroom has views of the treetops. 

The primary bedroom takes up the entire third floor of the house, evoking the feel of a boutique hotel retreat.

The spa-like bathroom. 

It boasts a spa-like bathroom, a spacious walk-in closet, and its own laundry facilities.  

The rooftop terrace off the primary bedroom. 

There's also a rooftop terrace where you can take in the panoramic views of the city.

The basement rec room. 

The basement has a guest suite with a full bathroom, a recreation room with a wet bar, and a spacious laundry room. 

The backyard. 

As for the outdoor space, the backyard is landscaped with an Ipe wood deck and is surrounded by greenery. 

The back patio. 

Although less functional now as winter sets in, thanks to the heated natural stone pathways and snow-melting exterior walkways, you at least don't have to worry about shovelling. 

A bathroom. 

And although 47 Roxborough St. W might follow the Scandinavian principle of "less is more," the listing price is on the "more is more" end. 

The back of the house is almost all windows. 

47 Roxborough St. W is listed for $5,499,000, but to be fair, this is in line with the neighbourhood average sale price of $4.7 million.
