Tucked away on a leafy lot in the ultra-exclusive Edenbridge enclave, 16 Ripplewood Rd. is the kind of house that is way cooler than it lets on.
First off, it was designed in the 1950s by Canadian architect Gardiner Cowan, who trained at the Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture School, Taliesin.
Second, this mid-century modern gem was originally built for Hockey Hall of Famer Joe Primeau. Additionally, it has only been on the market once before, which is quite a rarity in Toronto.
The front porch.
So if you’re into pedigree, this home is already batting a thousand (or an equivalent hockey reference), and this four-level stunner is anything but ordinary.
The dining room.
From the vaulted ceilings and massive picture windows to the Japanese and Scandinavian design touches, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully curated and extensively renovated by Flattery Design.
The prep area off the kitchen.
We’re talking a million-dollar reno that respected the original architecture while dialling up the aesthetic perfection.
A home office.
Although personally, I miss the warm wood tones and retro vibes of the house before it was renovated.
A bedroom with built-in bookshelves.
But despite that lack of teak wood panelled walls, there’s no denying it’s a stunning home filled with luxurious elements.
The primary bedroom deck.
The hardwood floors are heated (because, of course they are), and sunlight pours through the massive windows thanks to soaring ceilings and custom electric blinds.
The living room.
The living room is great for a cozy night in, with a modern fireplace and just the right amount of hygge.
The kitchen looking towards the breakfast nook.
The kitchen boasts integrated appliances, sleek quartz counters and backsplash, a separate prep area with a wet bar, and enough built-in storage to make a hoarder weep with joy.
A bedroom.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms are serene and spacious.
The primary bedroom.
The primary suite has its own private deck.
The primary ensuite.
It also has an ensuite bathroom with a skylight, movable mirrors, and a peek-a-boo window for soft, natural light.
The family room.
Downstairs, a fully finished basement and above-grade family room offer even more living space — including a gas fireplace and walkouts to the stunning backyard.
The backyard.
And the outdoor space? Let’s just say it’s less “yard” and more “Zen sanctuary.” The landscaping is meticulous, with plenty of lush greenery, multiple walkouts, and a picture-perfect fire pit ready for your next marshmallow moment.
