39 Burton Road is a landmark residence, gracefully positioned within one of the most exclusive and prestigious enclaves in Forest Hill. Set on a rare 100 x 170.5 foot lot, this extraordinary estate offers approximately 5,982 square foot above grade living space plus partially renovated lower level, presenting a remarkable opportunity for both luxury living and scarcity investment.
The expansive 17,000 square foot grounds are nestled within a dense canopy of mature trees and exquisitely landscaped gardens, providing a private and sensational oasis. Approved severance allows for two premium lots, effectively transforming one prominent residence into two and maximizing land value on one of the finest streets.
The current mansion was built for an exceptional luxurious lifestyle that balances sumptuous entertaining with personal relaxation. Indulgent recreational amenities include an indoor saltwater pool, a circular hot tub, and a sauna that opens to a serene alfresco retreat for maximum comfort and wellness.
Originally a Georgian home, the mansion was reimagined by acclaimed architect Stanley Shenkman and interior designer Robert Dirstein into a striking modernist statement, defined by bold geometry, sweeping curves, and a flat roofline. Recognized for its distinctive aesthetic, including its once famous black changing to white exterior, the residence became a design icon after its radical redesign.
Today, the home reflects celebrated eclecticism and modernism, featuring a teak paneled foyer, retro mid century details, wall to wall windows, and extensive use of skylights and French doors that bathe the interiors in natural light.
This excellent location is also known for its proximity to walkable social hubs, places of worship, and top tier schools such as UCC, BSS, Holy Rosary, St. Michael’s, Robbins, Bialik, Leo Baeck, and Forest Hill Collegiate Institute.
Rich in architectural significance and cultural character, this legendary residence is a rare offering in a highly coveted row renowned for its affluent scale, influential prestige, and enduring grandeur.
