The brief
About 78 Meadowbank Rd
78 Meadowbank Rd is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached house in Islington-City Centre West, Toronto, listed for sale at an asking price of $1,798,000 (MLS® W14145044).
A home that glows with natural light and feels like family from the moment you walk in. Set well back from the street in its own private 85x146 foot wide treed setting, the house glows from every window, warm light spilling through the trees and across the lawn. It stirs a quiet sense of wonder about the life inside. Here's your answer. Once a traditional centre-plan residence, this stately home has been thoughtfully reimagined into something genuinely rare: 2500SF + of classic craftsmanship made for modern life. Warm hardwoods and traditional detail meet vaulted ceilings and an abundance of space. Vast without feeling lost. From the moment you step into the foyer, this home holds you. A large living room anchored by a gas fireplace opens to a formal dining room that flows into a galley eat-in kitchen built for the way we actually live. From there, the laundry mudroom, a spectacular yard made for gathering, or the pull of the sunken main-level family room. A separate entrance from double car garage and powder room complete the floor. Upstairs is equally impressive. Three plus one oversized bedrooms, each with built-in storage and loads of character. The sunken principal suite is anchored by its own fireplace and ten closets (not a typo), with a luxe ensuite completing the retreat. A private office floats above the family room, bathed in light from abundant skylights. The other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath that won't disappoint. Pause up here among the treetops. You'll understand this home. The lower level brings a fourth fireplace, a family room, a wet bar and room for whatever comes next. Then there's the land. 85 x 146 feet of pure privacy, with expansive decks front and rear and a side yard that earns the word garden. A lot like this is rare anywhere, let alone in one of Etobicoke's most sought-after pockets. Come see what's glowing behind those windows.
