Nestled on a picturesque street in the heart of Toronto’s sought-after Summerhill neighbourhood, this century-old historic Methodist church was converted into five multi-level luxury townhouses. The magnificently preserved façade features lancet windows, hood moulds, and a commanding bell tower that incorporates the former gothic design’s aesthetic quality and refined style with a modern metropolitan flair. Designed by Janet Rosenberg, one of Canada’s most distinguished landscape architecture and urban designers, the striking gardens surrounding the building create a sense of tranquility that extends both inside and out. Townhouse Five offers a private retreat of unrivalled quality, and traditional bespoke finishes representing the quintessence of sophisticated urban living.
