Toronto’s exclusive Bridle Path enclave houses the city’s wealthiest and most famous residents, from Raptors players and Drake to CEOs. Amid the wealth and ostentation, this Moriyama Teshima-designed home has caught our attention. Situated at 50 Park Lane Circle, the estate is listed for $16.8m CAD (approximately $12.3m USD) and is being sold for land value, but it features a striking residence by the designers of the Aga Khan Museum and the Toronto Reference Library.

Moriyama Teshima substantially expanded the original bungalow on the site, adding a sleek three-storey rear addition that resembles a greenhouse due to its wall of windows overlooking the garden and ravine beyond. Inside, the eight-bedroom, 16-bathroom Toronto property are some grand touches, including a grand circular staircase, marble flooring, an elevator, a dumbwaiter, and grand fireplaces on each level.

An additional residence was added to the 2.5-acre lot, transforming it into a multi-generational family compound. However, the prestigious home may soon be a memory: listing agent Barry Cohen of Cohen Homes & Estates notes the possibility of building a new mega-mansion of up to 44,000 square feet on the site, in place of the current residence. All the more reason to explore it now.
