Freehold in Toronto

Completely restored and reimagined, Longwood House is a landmark estate tucked within a coveted, private pocket of The Beaches. Once the summer retreat of a 19th-century lumber baron, this iconic residence now unfolds as a masterful fusion of historic grandeur and art deco sophistication.Set across nearly half an acre over two lots, 8 Crown Park Road sits quietly at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, surrounded by the lush serenity of Ivan Forrest Gardens and overlooking Glen Manor Drive and the Glen Stewart Ravine-a setting that feels worlds away, yet entirely connected.Inside, over 8,000 sq ft spans three beautifully finished levels, where scale and light are elevated by seven walkouts that blur the line between indoors and out. Every detail reflects uncompromising craftsmanship, with globally sourced materials, imported tile from Spain and South America, alabaster lighting, and two bespoke marble-wrapped gas fireplaces.The grounds are a private, curated oasis. With over $1M in landscaping, the property honours its heritage through restored original and rare clinker brick, solid wood soffits, and a hydronic heated driveway, walkway, entry, and garage floor. Ebel stone retaining walls with granite caps frame the landscape, while a black granite rear terrace creates a striking outdoor living space.Elegant, versatile interiors unfold effortlessly-from the stately foyer and sunlit dining room to a Scavolini-designed home office-alongside a gym, games room, two wet bars, wine cellar, and in-law suite potential. Wall-to-wall windows capture uninterrupted ravine and garden views at every turn.Longwood House is not simply a residence-it is The Crown of the Beach. A private park. A legacy property. A rare and remarkable offering.
