Modern Serenity Abounds At This Willowdale West Family Home

A newly listed modern showpiece poised in the heart of Willowdale West doesn’t just raise the bar — it redefines it. Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Wengle, 71 Yorkview Drive was custom-built for its current owners with an unwavering commitment to quality and detail. The result is a contemporary masterpiece spanning more than 6,100 sq. ft, where every square inch has been meticulously considered.Set just moments from Yonge Street’s restaurants and boutiques, and a quick hop to the subway or Highway 401, the home blends convenience with sanctuary. Behind its striking façade, a generous foyer opens to a main floor that was made for both family living and sophisticated entertaining. A cozy living room flows to an elegant formal dining space, connected by a discreet butler’s pantry. A practical mudroom keeps everyday life organized, while the gourmet kitchen — complete with a breakfast nook — anchors the home. Here, an oversized family room framed by expansive windows overlooks the lush rear gardens, making the connection between indoor comfort and outdoor calm seamless.Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms — each with its own ensuite — provide ample space for R&R, while a laundry room adds functionality. The primary suite is a true escape: a gas fireplace for quiet evenings, a discreet built-in office for focused mornings, a spa-worthy ensuite with an oversized shower and soaker tub, and finally, a walk-in closet designed for the most discerning.SpecsAddress: 71 Yorkview Dr, TorontoBedrooms: 4+1Bathrooms: 6Listed At: $4,098,000Listed By: Nigel Denham, Natercia Cacador, Penny Brown, Sotheby's International Realty CanadaThe lower level holds its own allure, with a large bedroom and ensuite, a dedicated home gym, a custom wine cellar, and a sprawling recreation area perfectly suited for a home theatre setup, complete with a wet bar. Of particular note, natural light pours in through the walk-out to the south-facing yard, making the space feel anything but subterranean.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Our Favourite ThingThe way the home integrates sunlight into its lower level is remarkable — the walk-out and southern exposure transform what could have been a conventional basement into a bright, inviting extension of the main living space.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________All in all, this is a home that balances modern sophistication with warmth, designed for those who appreciate both beauty and utility in equal measure.WELCOME TO 71 YORKVIEW DRIVELIVING, KITCHEN, AND DININGBEDS AND BATHSLOWER LEVELOUTDOOR______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________This article was produced in partnership with STOREYS Custom Studio.
