40 Bernard Avenue Toronto, Ontario M5R 1R2
$4,998,000
A rare opportunity to live just steps from Yorkville in a fully realized, design-forward home where everything is done-and everything is within reach. 40 Bernard has been meticulously restored back to the bricks, reimagined as a seamless blend of historic character and contemporary refinement. Set on one of the most coveted blocks in the East Annex, it offers the kind of lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find: walkable, connected, and quietly luxurious. Spanning approximately 3,685 square feet, the home is defined by its light, volume, and thoughtful design. The main floor unfolds effortlessly-anchored by an exceptional chef's kitchen featuring professional-grade appliances, custom rift oak and white cabinetry, a sculptural fluted island, and a striking leathered quartzite slab that reads as both functional surface and natural artwork. A banquette dining area and beautifully integrated built-ins complete the space, while an oversized opening draw you out to a deep, private garden-an unexpected retreat in the city. The second floor primary suite offers a calm, hotel-like atmosphere with tailored millwork, a generous walk-in closet, and a refined ensuite featuring a custom walnut vanity, matte resin freestanding tub, and separate water closet. An elegant study-ideal for quiet work or a moment of retreat-extends the sense of privacy and ease, creating a suite that feels both elevated and complete. Additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully designed, with a third-floor level that opens to a secluded sundeck set among the trees. The lower level continues the home's elevated feel, with full ceiling height, custom built-ins, a comfortable recreation space, guest bedroom, and beautifully finished bath-ideal for both everyday living and hosting. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the quality of materials to the integration of new mechanical systems. The result is a home that feels complete, composed, and effortlessly livable.
