HERBERT HOUSE
AREA
Designed in 1895 by Toronto architect Frederick H. Herbert, welcome to a landmark Romanesque Revival residence.
Herbert House is located in The Annex, the heart of the city. Defined by tree-lined streets, cultural depth, and everyday ease, it’s a place where life unfolds at a measured, intelligent pace. The surrounding neighbourhood offers a rare choice. A composed, residential rhythm at home, with Toronto’s most vibrant dining and culture a short walk away, available when you want it and invisible when you don’t. A place chosen for how it feels, not just where it is.
PROPERTY
HERBERT HOUSE - Set on a wide, private parcel, Herbert House is surrounded by layered gardens that create a deep sense of seclusion. The outdoor spaces feel expansive and grounded, with open sky, abundant light, and quiet, day and night. The backyard unfolds as a true urban retreat. A heated pool, spa, outdoor lounge and dining areas create a setting that feels peaceful, sheltered, and deeply restorative. Central, yet removed. Immersive, yet effortless. Inside, historic character is present without ceremony. Original elements and contemporary systems exist in quiet balance, allowing the residence to feel grounded, intuitive, and easy to enjoy. Large, unobstructed windows bring natural light in from all sides, creating a sense of openness and flow rarely found in city homes. Above, a private terrace off the primary suite offers a quiet ritual. Morning light, warmth, and an open-air shower, entirely secluded and quietly unforgettable.
