Set on a quiet North York street, 37 Baycrest Avenue arrives with an immediate presence: a full-width facade of cream cut stone, a charcoal hip roof with dormer caps, a standing-seam metal canopy sheltering the double garage, and an arched entry flanked by pilasters. An interlock paver driveway leads straight to the front steps, setting a tone of considered classicism that continues without interruption from the front door through three finished levels.
Entry and Main-Floor Open Plan
The interior opens into a wide foyer corridor with recessed cove lighting and a dark-stained solid wood entry door. From there, the main floor unfolds as one generous open-concept space: living, family, and kitchen areas share light oak hardwood flooring, stepped coffered tray ceilings finished in crisp white, and abundant crown moulding. A crystal tiered chandelier anchors the dining zone while a second crystal ring pendant marks the family room. Two banks of large windows and sliding glass patio doors along the rear wall bring the backyard deck inside visually, and the iron-railed rear deck is accessible directly from the main level.
The family room wall features a linear gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling glossy white surround, its frameless profile a clean counterpoint to the moulded ceiling above. A crisp white wainscoting panel runs the length of the connecting foyer corridor, with recessed lighting tracking the sightline all the way to the main entry door.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is built around full-height white shaker cabinetry running floor-to-ceiling on every wall, with under-cabinet LED strips illuminating the quartz work surfaces below. Glass-mullion upper cabinet panels introduce a lighter note over the perimeter counters, and a large centre island with raised panel detailing along its base provides both prep space and seating. A custom curved-arch range hood finished in white with built-in moulding profiles sits over a six-burner brass-knob gas range, its bold scale balanced by the height of the surrounding cabinetry. Stainless steel built-in refrigerator and double wall ovens are housed in a dedicated appliance tower, keeping the working run clear. Crystal rod pendant lights hang above the island.
The Staircase
The open-tread staircase is one of the home’s most photographed details. Grey-stained oak treads rise on an open-tread profile beside a continuous run of black iron balusters shaped with an oval loop detail, their rhythm matching the handrail that wraps both the main-to-second and second-to-lower runs. Wainscoting panel moulding lines the staircase wall, and a mid-landing view back to the kitchen and living areas reinforces how thoroughly the plan has been designed to connect rather than compartmentalize.
Second Floor Landing and Upper Hall
At the top of the main staircase, the second floor opens under an octagonal tray ceiling centred directly above the landing. LED cove lighting set into the tray’s inner rim casts a warm ambient uplight, making the landing feel like a destination rather than a passage. The upper hallway extends in both directions lined with white panelled doors, hardwood underfoot, and recessed ceiling lighting throughout.
Primary Suite
The primary bedroom is calm and spacious, with hardwood floors, generous natural light from large windows, and paired wall sconces flanking a feature wall that has been pre-wired for a headboard display. Two separate walk-in closets flow off the bedroom: the first is fitted with all-white open shelving and a drawer tower, while the second is larger, with a dual-aisle layout, LED-lit shelf edges, white perimeter shelving, and a central island unit finished in dark blue-grey with bar-pull hardware. A glass-panel door connects the two sections.
Primary Ensuite
The primary ensuite is entirely white: white cabinetry, white quartz countertop, white walls. The double vanity stretches across most of the far wall, with two undermount sinks and chrome fixtures set within a quartz slab that runs edge to edge. Between the sinks, a custom medicine cabinet tower with cross-bar framed doors and an integrated oval mirror panel adds a refined detail in an otherwise clean composition. A freestanding soaker tub with chrome floor-mount faucet occupies one corner, visible through the open doorway from the vanity. The frameless glass shower uses large-format grey marble-look porcelain on all walls, with a recessed bench, glass shelving, and a hexagon mosaic tile floor. The shower head and hand spray are chrome throughout.
Secondary Bedrooms and Ensuites
The remaining upper-level bedrooms each have their own character. One ensuite takes a bold approach: the shower surround and tub deck are clad entirely in warm wood-tone chevron-patterned tiles, creating a herringbone-texture wall in brown, sand and cream tones that wraps corner to corner. A white quartz double vanity with chrome fixtures and large frameless mirror keep the overall palette balanced, while natural light enters through a tall window alongside the tub. A second full bathroom finished in teal-accented cabinetry with white quartz top and chrome fixtures serves the remaining bedrooms, carrying a confident colour choice that gives each floor a distinct identity.
Upper Floor Laundry
The upper-floor laundry room is fitted with two pairs of stacked LG washer-dryer units, white cabinetry with quartz countertop and marble-look quartz backsplash, an undermount stainless sink, gold-tone hardware, and a quartz folding surface. The room connects directly to the bedroom corridor, eliminating the need for any laundry travel between levels.
Lower Level
The lower level offers a very large open-concept recreation room with engineered hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a walk-up to the rear yard via sliding glass doors with an iron railing. A wine cooler is built into the open plan near the staircase foot, and additional lower-level rooms include finished bedrooms suitable for guests or a nanny suite, each with windows and engineered hardwood floors. The lower-level staircase carries the same grey-stained oak treads and black iron balusters as the main stairs above, giving the whole vertical run a unified material language.
