Dramatic Danforth Village Modern Is Not Like The Others

Virginia Avenue is a quiet residential street in Danforth Village — the kind of block where many homes have been standing for decades. Coming up in 2022, 83 Virginia Avenue made no attempt to blend in. The home's wood façade announces itself immediately. Inside, the abode opens into a main floor where living, dining, and kitchen flow together under floor-to-ceiling windows and rich hardwood flooring. A gas fireplace anchors the living space; the custom kitchen runs to quartz countertops, integrated dining, and built-in cabinetry.

Sculptural, rising beside a 27-foot feature wall topped by a skylight that pulls light all the way down into the centre of the home. It's the kind of architectural detail that makes a house feel considered rather than just well-finished.
