A Rare Architectural Masterpiece In The Kingsway
Welcome to 89 Kingsway Crescent – a custom built, architecturally significant residence that seamlessly fuses timeless elegance with modern luxury. Designed by a collaboration of award-winning firms Howard Rideout Architect (HRA) and MW Hall. This extraordinary home spans over 6,500 square feet above grade (excluding the three-car garage) and is set on an expansive 125 x 187 ft lot – more than a half acre, in the heart of The Kingsway neighbourhood.
Traditional Exterior - Contemporary Interior
This beautiful, one-of-a-kind home is a study in contrast and harmony. The stately front façade pays homage to the historic charm of the neighbourhood, while the rear garden elevation and interior spaces are strikingly contemporary — defined by soaring ceiling heights, clean lines, and expansive glass that frame spectacular views over the Humber River Valley.
Natural Light & Easy Living
At the heart of this L-shaped floor plan is a stunning double-height atrium that fills the interior with natural light and connects the home’s two wings. The main floor is designed for both entertaining and everyday ease, featuring 17-feet of sliding glass doors that open to a rear deck overlooking the lush rear gardens. A dramatic octagonal dining room anchors the open-concept kitchen and living areas.
The home features a generous main floor guest suite / home office. A large private elevator accessing all three levels, and a three-car garage with additional on-site parking — all discreetly integrating the landscape and architectural design.
Upstairs, the primary retreat is pure serenity, with dual ensuite baths, two walk-in closets, a massage room, and a whirlpool tub overlooking the treetops. Each of the three additional bedrooms on this level is oversized with ensuite bathrooms. Laundry facilities on each level, with a large second-floor laundry room, adds practical convenience.
The fully finished lower level offers an expansive open-concept layout which includes a home theatre, library, and billiards/recreation room with 10-foot ceilings.
Exquisite Details
Throughout the home are clean lines with no circumstantial compromises, with many detailed design features including:
- Sound isolated living/bedroom areas, doors, and floors
- A wide floating staircase with treads of solid Jatoba
- Inset door frames, and baseboards that visually fold the floor material up the walls
- Beautiful wood, stone, metal and glass materials and textures used throughout
- Architectural ventilation grilles
- Museum-quality ceiling lights to highlight wall art
No Compromise
The lot is located at the edge of the Humber Valley, a little in and up from the ravine edge, giving views at the treetop level and above the houses below nearer the edge. The sloping lot has been great for slip and slide kids games in the summer and tobogganing in the winter! Home Smith Park and the Humber River Recreation Trail is a 2 minute walk away and a very good public school, Lambton Kingsway, is a 5 minute walk. By car you will be midway between downtown and the airport, 5 minutes to the Royal York & Bloor neighbourhood, Bloor West Village, and Islington Village, and 10-15 minutes to almost all large stores in the west end.
