One-of-a-kind $4 million Toronto home is entirely voice-operated
While voice-activated smart homes have gotten a bad rap with movies like Margaux, it doesn't have to be a horror show. In fact, as AI technology advances, a voice-activated smart home could be more like an Iron Man Jarvis-type situation. A Toronto home at 127 Welland Ave. might not be at Ja...

The Shah of Thorgill and His £26 Rebellion

This is Thorgill: a tributary of the River Seven, the main drainage for Rosedale. While technically a watercourse, it is perhaps better known as a hamlet, once even managing to sustain a Methodist Chapel.

Thorgill briefly staggered into the national spotlight in the 1950s, not through any great achievement, b ...

Toronto home that was featured in a design magazine hits market for $5 million
Just over 20 years ago, 11 Hawthorn Ave. was a classic family home in Toronto's Rosedale neighbourhood. It had four bedrooms and bathrooms and a distinct early 2000s design style. It sold back in 2004 for $1,387,000, which was 8 per cent over asking. But a lot can happen in 20 ye...

Repairing the Damage: A Belated Attempt to Save the Moors

In 1955, Bill Cowley had the bright idea of establishing a long-distance walk across the North York Moors, from Osmotherley to Ravenscar. By the late 1970s, the Lyke Wake Walk had become a rite of passage for the outdoor-obsessed, with an estimated 18,000 people a year trudging the 42-mile route. ...

$5 million Toronto home with picture perfect backyard is like a summer dream
"Dreaming of summer?" starts the listing for 80 Mathersfield Dr. and, of course, we are! Have you been outside lately? It's terrible. But if the perpetually grey weather outside didn't have us dreaming of wearing shorts and sandals already, one look at the backyard of this Ros...

A classic Toronto house was completely and awesomely reimagined in the '80s
When you see a century-old Rosedale heritage home, you can pretty much guess what you're gonna get. They usually have traditional interiors with hardwood floors, wood-panelled dining rooms, detailed crown moulding, fireplaces galore and maybe a stained glass window or two. And while 23...

$13.5 million Toronto home features breathtaking library
Whether the home is centuries or a couple decades old, there's a reason "traditional" doesn't go out of style. Sure, traditional homes aren't everyone's preferred aesthetic or taste, but there's always something to be admired when it comes to attention to detail and craftsmanship. And 113 Donwoods...

Northdale’s Mysterious Stone Pig-Sty?

During my wandering around the aesthetic barns of Northdale yesterday, this little curiosity caught my eye.

A curving quadrantal chamber within a natural rock formation, adorned with two large recesses flanking the "southern" entrance and another substantial chamber gracing its northern flank. Clearly, the hands of man have toiled here, evident in the distinct dressing mark ...

Red House

According Tom Scott Burns, Red House formerly served as a tavern for wayfarers traversing the moors, likely vying with The Lettered Board Inn, or Hamer House, where those in the business of panniers, colliers, and smugglers sought reprieve during their journey.

Red House, like Hamer House, fell into ruins over the ages. While the stones of the latter have all but vanished, no doubt sa ...

Blakey Ridge and The Lion Inn: From Crutched Friars to Modern Hikers

A view across Rosedale towards Blakey Ridge. In the front, Florence Terrace, one of many rows of terraced cottages built to house the ironstone miners and their families. Rosedale's population surged in the two decades between 1851 and 1871.

Barely discernible on the distant skyline stands the Lion Inn. There are few inns more remot ...
