2 h. ago Grandma chic Toronto mansion of your dreams is on sale for $18 million

You'd be forgiven if you mistook 241 Strathallan Wood for a Regency period film set, because it certainly could be one. This sprawling estate in Lytton Park has more than 20,000 square feet of living space and it is giving old money, grandma chic and Bridgerton set vibes all at once. It's simply iconic. The property is actually four separate lots that were combined for the purpose of this estate, giving 241 Strathallan Wood an impressive 307-foot frontage. The living room. You'd never guess that it's such a large property given that you can barely see the mansion from the street through all of the mature trees on the lot.The foyer. The home was clearly built for someone who likes their privacy, as blogTO got zero tea when we reached out.Views into the solarium. On the main floor of the house, you have all the typical principal rooms. The dining room. They're all decorated in a classical European style that makes the entire ...

2 h. ago Pioneering Toronto music festival returns for 25th year this week

Toronto's very own Wavelength Winter Fest returns this weekend for three nights straight of live performances some of the most innovative up-and-comers on the indie scene alongside immersive interiors.I may be biased, but Toronto's indie music scene — and, more broadly, Canada's, — is home to some of the most unique and impressive artists around today, which is why the city's already-bountiful selection of collectives, venues and event series' that support them are so significant.Wavelength, a collective founded in 2000 on the premise of uplifting indie music acts across Canada, has been a major player on that scene for the past quarter century; and they're not slowing down any time soon.From Feb. 27 to March 1, Wavelength Winter Fest, one of Wavelength's annual marquee music events, returns to their haunt at St. Anne's Parish Hall for not only three nights of live music from hidden gems and up-and-comers alike, but a celebration of 25 years of the organization."Jus...

41 h. ago Hard loft meets cabin vibes in this unconventional $4.5 million Ontario house

It's rare for a listing to outright say that a property might not be "right" for a buyer.Generally, sales strategies are employed to maximize the potential buyer pool, not minimize it. But 55 Chisholm St. is a very unconventional home, so when Engelbrecht Associates say "this is not a property for everyone," it kind of makes sense. The main floor. Located in West Harbour in Oakville, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom house is a bold mix of industrial design and the cozy charm of a Muskoka cottage. The dining room. You have a soapstone fireplace mixed with polished concrete floors juxtaposed with a hyper-modern bright blue Scavolini kitchen. It shouldn't work, but somehow it does. The living room. The main floor of the house is an open concept space, where every room flows together. The fireplace. At the heart of the space is the soapstone fireplace that is reminicent of Swedish tile hearths that are used to heat homes, as t...
