Heritage Masterpiece in The Beaches | 6 Benlamond Drive

6 Benlamond is a true and rare Heritage home in The Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto. Designed by legendary architect Frank Darling, known for his work on several area Toronto locations including Convocation Hall and Hockey Hall of Fame, this grand residence retains much of its beautiful character and sits on a large lot – 38’x50’. Located on a quiet private road, it offers the ultimate tranquility with stunning ravine, city, and lake views.

 

 

This impressive home welcomes you with soaring ceilings, intricate mouldings, stained-glass accents, exquisite woodwork, and wainscoting. As you enter the main level, you can tell the home’s historic charm is well captured in the accents of the home. The traditional wood detailing is beautifully contrasted by the addition of light wood flooring throughout. The formal living room and dining room offer bright and spacious entertaining spaces for hosting family gatherings or enjoying a night in.

 

 

 

The gorgeous kitchen features pristine marble countertops and white cabinetry, making the space feel fresh and clean. It offers plenty of storage and a designated breakfast nook by the grand window.
