A perfect example of the classic architecture, gracious interiors and expansive lots that have made Moore Park so coveted, 195 Inglewood Drive is a special opportunity. 

Sophisticated details, key lifestyle features and an ideal location are a few elements distinguishing 195 Inglewood as both an impressive residence and perfect family home.  Built in 1915, the home’s carefully curated mix of original details, quality finishes and modern conveniences create a stylish and comfortable environment.  Situated on a premier 50 x 139 ft. lot and with 3600 square feet above grade, the home provides an abundance of space inside and out to live life to its fullest. 

A classic centre hall plan along with a large, thoughtfully designed addition creates a gracious main floor, offering opportunities for large-scale entertaining, quiet moments or animated family time.  Elegant formal living and dining rooms, each with fireplace and large south facing window are charming and useful spaces that add an impressive air to the home.  The true heart of the home is the expansive area at the rear where the kitchen, trimmed with custom cabinetry, granite counters and tile backsplash, opens onto a striking dining area with vaulted ceiling, skylights and French doors.  Sunshine is never in short supply here and the ample space and modern style elevates and facilitates daily life.  A chic, sunken family room with stone clad wood-burning fireplace, modern white oak built-ins and a special artisanal light fixture completes the space and is the perfect venue for game playing, movie watching or simply decompressing at the end of a long day.   

On the Second Floor, a recently renovated primary suite can’t help but make you feel special with its expansive size, walk-in closet and stunning designer ensuite finished with luxury details including a walk-in shower, soaker tub, grey marble flooring and white oak cabinetry.  A large and inviting office next to the Primary has an au courant “British style” ambience with beautiful cherry custom built-ins, a large South facing window and sliding glass doors leading to a deck.  It no doubt transforms the work-from-home experience into something quite fabulous. 

The home’s Third Floor with its 3 large bedrooms, 4-piece bathroom and linen closet offers the special opportunity for a separate kids’ floor.  Dormer windows, large spaces, great closets and original, lovingly maintained millwork along with cozy carpet makes this area functional and charming. 

The home’s Lower Level is designed for fun, comfort and function with a large media/exercise room; guest bedroom with above-grade window; laundry room with lots of counters, cupboards and sunlight; and no end of storage, from a cedar closet to a fabulous custom 1500-bottle climate-controlled wine cellar.

A beloved part of the home, the spacious backyard with in-ground pool, dining area and gardens has been the headquarters for warm weather fun and a consistently ideal location for relaxing with a coffee, dining with friends or hosting birthday parties.  Practical elements like the garage that easily accommodates a car, the sprinkler system, the wide private driveway and the side entrance – perfect for kids, pets and groceries – are important conveniences. 

Graciously set back from the street on iconic Inglewood, also known as Kringlewood, the home’s location provides easy access to some of the area’s best amenities including beloved Moore Park; local schools OLPH and Whitney P.S. along with Branksome, the York School and Greenwood; the TTC; the Ravine system; downtown and the lovely shops and cafes on Yonge Street.   

Perhaps the real brilliance of 195 Inglewood comes from the fact that it’s one of those special homes a family can settle into.  Roots can be put down, details can be customized and resale is a concept for retirement.  Loaded with all those elements that help a family to thrive, it offers the special comfort that comes from the knowledge that, while life and needs may change, your home doesn’t need to. 

195 Inglewood is a true forever home.
