Everything a growing family needs, in one Midtown address.

69 Taunton Rd is a large 3,768 sqft custom-built family home in Davisville Village, finished to a standard you rarely see in a home this size. Built in 2013, brick from the ground up, and spread over four levels, it was built for a family that wanted room to grow without giving up the neighbourhood.

The main floor was designed for both entertaining and everyday life. Formal living and dining rooms at the front, a powder room, and a kitchen pantry, a butler's pantry and a large island with a pull-up breakfast bar. There's an eat-in area, plus a built-in desk for homework and household paperwork. The family room steps down, which gives it soaring ceiling height, and a wall of glass doors and windows opens to the backyard. The hardwood, the millwork and the tile work are all high quality throughout.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, backyard views and a heated marble ensuite with a skylight and freestanding air-jet tub. Second-floor laundry keeps it practical.

The third-floor loft adds a fifth bedroom if you need one, with its own bathroom, private deck, two skylights and its own climate control. It works as a teenager's retreat, guest room, office or studio.

The lower level is a full floor, not an afterthought. Ceiling height is exceptional, the floors are heated, and there's a recreation room with a gas fireplace, a full bathroom, a second laundry room and a mudroom with extensive cabinetry and direct garage access. A walk-up brings you straight out to the backyard.

The backyard is another reason you buy this home. An in-ground pool sits at the rear of the deep 150 ft lot, with an expansive flagstone patio and a gas line for the barbecue. There's plenty of room to entertain, and mature landscaping with tall cedar hedging keeps it private.

Five bathrooms, two laundry rooms and parking for three between the private drive and built-in garage. Maurice Cody, Hodgson and Northern are all close, along with Eglinton Park, the Beltline, the TTC and the shops and restaurants of Mount Pleasant and Bayview, all a short walk away. Set on an impressive 25 x 150 ft lot.
