Deer Park

Welcome to 37 Duggan Avenue, This charming home is situated on highly sought after Duggan Avenue in the heart of Deer Park, fifteen minutes from the centre of Toronto’s financial district. 37 Duggan has features rarely found in this neighbourhood: a privately owned, eight-car laneway to its very own detached two-car garage, 50-foot lot frontage, and a phenomenal private garden with treed views.

A proud wrought iron gate introduces the breathtaking front garden that leads to a classic veranda. The leaded glass entrance door with sidelights opens to a limestone-floored foyer. This elegant space for welcoming guests is completed by a glass-panelled door that defines it from the spacious entry hall, with its two large coat closets that make both living and entertaining a breeze. Hardwood floors are found throughout the main level.

Your guests will be stunned to discover that behind the country charm of the home’s facade lies an architecturally inspired modern home that is a feast for the eyes. From the entry hall, guests enjoy a view of the grand dining room that overlooks the charming streetscape and front garden and promises a spectacular architectural and entertaining experience. A world- class art collection would equally be at home in this residence.

​The kitchen is accessed both through a discreet door off the dining room as well as from the entry hall, and offers ample space with sleek stainless steel appliances, including a custom range hood and a Thermador gas stove and grill. The side door to the laneway is off the kitchen and down a few stairs, which makes bringing in groceries quite convenient. The beautiful breakfast room has private views of the laneway and the back gardens.

Separated from the kitchen by a cutout window, the living room offers spacious comfort, a wood-burning fireplace with limestone surround and a custom cherry wood mantel, and is a totally private, light-filled space with clerestory windows and two sets of large sliding glass doors to the backyard.

Fully fenced, the back garden offers gated entry to the laneway and garage.
