62 h. ago $5 million contemporary home has unmatched views of the Toronto skyline

While many of us would count ourselves lucky to be able to buy a house of any kind in Toronto these days, if an urban oasis is what you're after, look no further than this $5 million contemporary gem.Located due south of the bustling Yonge and St. Clair intersection, 37 Woodlawn Avenue West rests on a more secluded residential street lined with older, classic homes, making this dashing dwelling truly stand out.An enviable score in Summerhill, the home boasts Toronto skyline views that are virtually impossible to come by in the city, let alone in an equally sought-after neighbourhood.The home, which stands at just over 3,600 sq. ft. spread across three floors and a walk-out basement (which is mostly above-grade), is also home to its very own private Cambridge elevator that accesses all four levels.For an extra dose of the neighbourhood's lengthy history, the property backs onto the historic Woodlawn House, built in 1840, which is the second-oldest home in Toronto.Upon entering the ho...

2 d. ago Festival featuring hundreds of exotic cars taking over a Toronto street this spring

One of Toronto's most cherished car events is gearing up to make its great return this spring, marking the 15th annual iteration of the event.I've said it before, and I'll say it again: street festivals are one of the — if not the — best part(s) of spring and summer in Toronto. The knowledge that weekends filled with time spent aimlessly ogling vendor booths and crushing street barbecue just sends a shiver down my spine. We've still got some time yet before the peak of street festival season hits, though, which means that, for now, the announcements of festivals to come are enough to keep me going, and the latest across the airwaves is the return of the Yorkville Exotic Car Show this June.Screeching into one of the city's swankiest neighbourhoods on Father's Day, the show is marking its 15th year in style, with a dazzling array of spectacular vehicles taking over Bloor Street for one (hopefully) sunny day only.You can expect to see a staggering red-carpet ...
