66 Empire Avenue

About This Property

Some homes are renovated to sell. Others are renovated to live in and it shows. 66 Empire Avenue is a rare example of a home thoughtfully reimagined with purpose, where every detail reflects how a family truly lives day-to-day. This is not a cosmetic update but rather a meaningful transformation that blends modern function with timeless character. Original features like solid wood doors, classic registers, and beautiful stained-glass transoms have been carefully preserved, adding warmth and authenticity throughout. At the same time, the home has been elevated to meet today's expectations for comfort, flow, and everyday ease. Set on a west-facing lot, the home is filled with natural light. The main floor offers additional seating framed by two large bay windows that invite you to relax, gather, or entertain. At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen outfitted with high-end appliances and fixtures, complemented by a large skylight that floods the space with light. A separate pantry keeps everything organized, while a generous main floor coat closet adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, you will find a beautiful bathroom with heated floors, custom millwork maximizes every inch, with built-ins in the bedrooms including a desk. The third-floor loft is a private retreat, enhanced by its own skylight, making it an ideal space for relaxing, working, or unwinding. The lower level has been fully underpinned to create generous ceiling height and a completely reimagined living space. With a separate entrance, it offers flexibility for extended family or future use. This level delivers a true spa-like experience, featuring a steam sauna, heated floors in the bathroom, dressing area, fireplace, wet bar, and a surround sound system that extends seamlessly to the main floor-creating an immersive atmosphere throughout the home. On a sought-after street in prime Leslieville, this home is close to all amenities, minutes from downtown, the highway, and the lake. Welcome home!
