Toronto, Région Du Grand Toronto

12 Forest Glen Cres possesses a storybook sense of enchantment, where a French Provincial-inspired residence unfolds amid extraordinary gardens and a private ravine landscape. An exceptionally private, L-shaped lot spanning over half an acre. A generous sunken lawn is framed by formal paving, clipped hedging & layers of lush planting with a stately armillary sphere & charming gazebo anchoring the circular front garden. Inside, over 7,300 square feet of living space (5,225 square feet with 2,145 square feet Lower Level) carries forward the same sense of warmth, character and permanence. Flagstone floors & intricate mouldings establish an atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting. Expansive double-height windows define the impressive foyer, while the sunken living room overlooks the front gardens with oak flooring & a gas fireplace with an elaborate classical mantel. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen pairs custom lacquered cabinetry with Taj Mahal quartzite, Sub-Zero, Wolf & Miele appliances. The adjoining breakfast & family rooms open through glass-panelled NanaWall doors to a terrace overlooking the ravine. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys tranquil views over the gardens & ravine & features a generous dressing room & 5-pc ensuite with heated floors, a marble-surround soaker tub & gas fireplace. Four additional bedrooms include 2 with private ensuites, while the remaining two share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The Lower Level offers a generous recreation room with a playful mid-century aesthetic, flexible spaces for a gym or media room, a 3-piece bath & a walkout to the rear garden. Outside, a stone terrace surrounds the pool & hot tub against a backdrop of mature trees and a dense ravine greenery, while a charming potter’s studio adds an unexpected element to the grounds. A truly remarkable residence in Teddington Park, where magnificent gardens and ravine wilderness create the atmosphere of a private country estate in the heart of the city with Rosedale Golf Club just steps away.
