74 Bedford Park Avenue

Some homes are built to impress. This David Small-designed custom residence in Richmond Hill was built to restore the people who live in it-natural stone, brick, and stucco assembled with a quiet confidence that favors permanence over spectacle. From the covered front porch, the home asks for nothing yet holds your attention completely. Inside, the main floor moves with intention. The family room, dining room, and a Thermador kitchen with a walk-in pantry and standing freezer flow as one, anchored by two 48” gas fireplaces. A private main-floor office answers how families work today, while heated floors warm every bathroom underfoot. Upstairs turns toward rest. The primary retreat (4.27 x 6.40 m) offers dual walk-in closets and a spa ensuite with a freestanding tub and glass shower. Two further bedrooms, each with bath access and generous closets, plus a dedicated upstairs laundry, complete the level. The lower level was never an afterthought-excavated deeper for soaring 10-ft ceilings and oversized windows that draw natural light into a recreation room, fitness room, roughed-in bar, a fourth bedroom, and a relaxed space for music. A true walk-up rises to a landscaped garden of perennials and interlock stone, then continues to a deck with a 36” gas fireplace, roughed for a natural-gas barbecue. This is a home built for the long term: whole-home spray-foam insulation for a tighter, quieter, more energy-efficient envelope, and an R20-insulated garage with thermostat-controlled gas heat. The pool-sized yard, and the terrace is wired for a hot tub. You wouldn’t believe how quiet it is! The future here is not only possible, it is prepared for. A short walk up the street to Yonge St., minutes to top-ranked schools, GO Transit, Highway 404, and 165+ parks and trails, this is Richmond Hill at its most established-a community chosen by families who are deciding not only on a home but on a way of life. The right address doesn’t simply change where you live. It changes how you live. (id: 58753)
