This gorgeous home has stood since 1876, but has only changed hands three times since then. Toronto restoration properties luxury

Tucked away in Toronto’s Cabbagetown is a historic home that often draws the attention of passersby. The French-Second-Empire-style house has stood on Sackville Street since 1876 but has changed hands just three times: once in 2012, once in the early 1900s, and once several years before that. But a fourth sale may soon be on its way, because the historic Toronto home recently hit the market.

Known as the Shields House — named after the Shields family who originally built it — it’s a five-bedroom, five-bathroom standout. Although nearly 150 years old, the property is anything but dated. In fact, every inch of the home’s more than 5,000 sq. ft has been meticulously renovated in a way that both makes it comfortable for modern living and pays tribute to the home’s historic French style.

That’s in no small part thanks to the home’s current owner, designer James Davie, who redesigned the aging property from top to bottom. “It was a complete gut renovation of the existing house, which was crumbling from neglect,” Davie said. “All of the modern conveniences were put in while paying special attention to maintaining the authenticity of the original house. Salvaged materials were used along with long-retired building techniques. Over the two-year renovation, the mantra was that we were building a new old house.”

Although some buyers may have seen the traditional style of the home and designed with a more muted palette, Davie chose not to shy away from bold, playful colours. And the results are fantastic. Glossy deep purple doors pop against a white tiled wall design in the living room, and in the study, vibrant blue trim and a pink patterned carpet are pulled together by a yellow-toned custom built-in.
