In Toronto’s Mount Pleasant East neighborhood, a new listing is quietly recalibrating expectations for luxury residential design. Listed at $5.7M CAD and represented by The Agency’s Merad Safaeian and Al Mosavizadeh, 126 Sherwood Avenue is poised to set a new record for the area, surpassing the previous high sale of $4,467,500 CAD. A truly remarkable residence, this home signals how buyer expectations in the C10 district are evolving toward highly sophisticated, luxurious design.
Designed and built by Vagli Home, the custom residence spans more than 4,000 square feet and is defined by a level of architectural detailing more often associated with European bespoke builds than conventional urban development.
At the center of the home is the remarkable kitchen. More than 30 slabs of Italian marble were hand-selected from Tuscany for the project, including 14 slabs of Calacatta Vagli used to create a dramatic 15-foot bookmatched island and fully integrated kitchen detailing. The fabrication and installation process alone took nearly eight months.
The spectacular materials don’t stop there. Throughout the residence, rift-cut Spanish white oak paneling and European herringbone flooring establish a warm architectural foundation, while bespoke horn hardware by Bibby and Harriet Maxwell introduces subtle artisanal detail. Slim-profile three-layer European aluminum windows frame natural light and contribute to the home’s modern architectural language, emphasizing clean lines, proportion, and permanence.
Beyond aesthetics, the infrastructure of the home reflects a comprehensive level of mechanical sophistication. Heated systems extend through the driveway, garage, basement, foyer, and ensuite floors, ensuring comfort and functionality through Toronto’s colder seasons. Advanced sound insulation, premium lighting design, smart-home integration, and high-performance mechanical systems further align the residence with the expectations of today’s luxury buyers.
The backyard unfolds as a resort-style setting, anchored by a heated concrete pool with waterfall features. Composite decking and expansive stone patios are complemented by a Lynx outdoor kitchen and fully integrated lighting and irrigation systems.
This home speaks to the evolution of Mount Pleasant East and a broader shift within the C10 market. Buyers want to have it all—and developers are making it all available: long-term build quality, advanced systems, impeccable materials, and a high-end modern aesthetic.
