Tudor charm out front, a modern design showpiece behind. 80 Humbervale, the architects' own home, rebuilt from the ground up by blackLAB Architects with a striking three-storey addition. Set on a premium 50 x 120 ft. lot on one of Sunnylea's most coveted streets, this 4+1 bedroom, 4 bathroom, ~3,800 sqft roof living space residence is a rare fusion of timeless character and architectural pedigree, featured on the cover of Designlines and on House & Home's online home tour. Live 1.5 blocks from Bloor Street, the Royal York subway, and the boutiques, cafes and restaurants of The Kingsway, in the catchment for Sunnylea Junior School, Norseman and Etobicoke Collegiate, with Catholic options nearby. A light-filled courtyard bridges to the family area, where an open-concept kitchen and family room flow through 17.5 ft. lift-and-slide doors onto an ipe deck, all grounded by polished radiant concrete floors. Rich walnut hardwood, twin gas fireplaces, and custom walnut millwork with a sliding panel concealing the TV set an elevated tone throughout. The kitchen is outfitted with Fenix NTM nano-tech counters, a Bertazzoni range, a microwave drawer and a pantry. Brick and stucco Tudor detailing preserves the home's original curb appeal, while fibreC panels and anthracite zinc, built to patina beautifully with age, define the addition.Upstairs, a spa-inspired primary retreat offers an open soaker tub, skylights with automatic blinds and extensive built-ins. Three further bedrooms feature custom built-ins, and the shared bath has heated floors and two sinks. The lower level adds a home gym, a bedroom with its own heated-floor ensuite, and radiant heated recreation room. A full Control4 smart-home system governs lighting, climate, TVs and cameras, backed by a whole-home natural gas generator, central vac, HEPA filtration, irrigation and exterior lighting. Parking for five. A refined, move-in-ready residence for the most discerning buyer.
