27 South Drive Toronto

This is what a $21 million designer house in Toronto looks like

In Toronto, a house priced at $21 million is usually an ostentatious Drake-like mansion in the Bridle Path. It's gaudy and over-the-top, and it's not a home you could ever imagine anyone living their day-to-day life in. 

But 27 South Dr., despite its $20,800,000 listing price, is nothing like those McMansions we're used to seeing. 27 South Drive Toronto

The foyer. 

The Edwardian-era Rosedale home, which was built in 1902, is understated in its beauty.

The kitchen also features a butler's pantry. 

The home underwent an extensive renovation and expansion under the direction of architect Ray Murakami, with the help of designer Ann Johnston and landscape architect Mark Hartley

The family room. 

The result is a stunning home that was featured in OBJEKT Design Magazine.

The front hall. 

As you enter the house, you're greeted with soaring ceilings, plenty of natural light and a surprisingly modern aesthetic.

A playroom. 

While the exterior of the home is traditional in its Edwardian facade, the interior is very contemporary.

The breakfast area with a walk-out to the backyard. 

On the main floor you have the principal rooms, which are understated and simple in detail but very luxurious nonetheless.

The study. 

The study is a cozy space with a fireplace. It has custom pocket doors and a full on bar, you know, for Mad Men vibes.

The dining room. 

But the bar is right next to the dining room, which also has a climate-controlled wine fridge, making it the ultimate dinner party spot.

The open concept kitchen and family room. 

The kitchen is open concept with the family room and is stunning in its simplicity.

The primary ensuite bathroom. 

27 South Dr. features six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

A bedroom. 

They're all luxurious and comfortable with a clean, almost minimal aesthetic to them.

The primary bedroom features a walk-out terrace. 

The primary bedroom is so simple it's almost boring.

The home gym. 

But the fun really happens in the basement of the home.

The infra-red and rock combo sauna/steam room. 

There's a massage room, sauna and steam room, home gym, cold plunge bath, a home theatre and more.

The backyard. 

Coupled with the resort-worthy basement is the backyard to match.

The interior of the cabana. 

The backyard oasis comes with a beautiful pool, heated stone terraces and an all-season cabana with a bar.

The back deck with two outdoor BBQs. 

The backyard also backs onto a ravine so there's tons of privacy.

Green roofs and trees make the yard look even bigger than it is. 

The only thing 27 South Dr. doesn't have is a garage, which is honestly super weird for a house at this price point.

But there are six parking spots, so that's something...
