The Residence

Is this the largest residential lot in High Park? Welcome to 270 Indian Road — an exceptional estate on an extraordinary 0.56-acre, L-shaped terraced lot in one of Toronto's most coveted enclaves.

Originally built in 1924 for William G. Harris, founder of the Canada Metal Company, and designed by the esteemed architect F.S. Mallory, the home has since undergone a comprehensive, no-expense-spared renovation of the highest calibre — preserving its character while elevating it for modern living.

Four bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 5,968 square feet unfold across three impeccable levels, wrapped by mature private gardens that must be seen to be believed.

The Estate

A century of craftsmanship, quietly perfected.

An iconic façade, built to endure

The exterior is a study in timeless materials — a slate roof, copper downspouts, decorative patterned glass and distinctive brick chimneys — culminating in a façade of enduring elegance and architectural distinction.

A newer addition, completed to an exacting standard, introduced the garage, chef's kitchen, mudroom and porch, along with the primary bedroom and ensuites above — seamlessly married to the original 1924 structure.

A chef's kitchen at the heart of the home

An exquisite kitchen anchors the main floor — bespoke cabinetry, an oversized marble centre island and a professional appliance suite from Sub-Zero, Dacor and Miele, all set beneath a handsome coffered ceiling.

It opens to a sunlit family room and looks out over the estate grounds, flowing to a collection of elegant rooms beyond — the panelled dining room, the living room, the library and the office.

A private retreat above

A grand wood staircase with beautifully carved newel posts rises to the second level. The serene primary suite offers two spa-inspired ensuites and two luxurious walk-in closets for the ultimate comfort.

Three additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with its own private ensuite — elevated accommodation for family and guests alike.

Highlights

Chef's Kitchen

Bespoke cabinetry, an oversized marble centre island and a professional suite — Sub-Zero, Dacor and Miele — open to the family room and grounds.

Panelled Library

Quarter-sawn oak and custom built-ins create a study of genuine gravitas — alongside a second reading room and executive office.

Primary Retreat

A serene primary suite with two spa ensuites and two fitted walk-in closets — with three further bedrooms, each with its own ensuite.

Media Lounge

An expansive lower-level lounge with fireplace, a games area and a private guest suite — designed as a seamless extension of the home.

Wine Cellar

A temperature-controlled cellar with custom racking — the ideal companion to evenings spent entertaining at home.

The Club Garage

An insulated three-bay garage — 1,025 sq. ft. — that doubles as an entertainment lounge with a bar, projector and full nightclub lighting, topped by a 750 sq. ft. loft with hot and cold water service.

Garden Art Studio

A detached, light-filled studio tucked among the trees — usable year round, with floor heating and hot and cold water service — a private space for art, work or quiet retreat.

Energy Efficient

Modern insulation and a reflective roof membrane added during renovation keep annual heating costs to roughly $2,400 — remarkable for a home of this scale.
