Situated in Toronto's prestigious Allenby neighbourhood, the Briar Hill Avenue project demonstrates that exceptional construction begins long before the first shovel enters the ground. While Douglas Reid Renovations Inc. is widely recognized for high-end residential renovations and additions, this project provided the opportunity to showcase our ability to deliver a custom home from the ground up with the same level of care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that defines every project we undertake.

​

This was a complete design build project where our team managed every stage of the process—from the initial planning and Committee of Adjustment approval through permit applications, construction, and final completion. By providing a true turnkey renovation experience, our clients had a single point of contact throughout the project, allowing every decision to be coordinated efficiently while maintaining complete confidence in the direction of their new home.

Designed to accommodate modern family living, the approximately 3,500-square-foot residence features five spacious bedrooms and generous entertaining areas that balance elegance with everyday practicality. Visitors are welcomed into an impressive front foyer where the beautifully detailed underside of the staircase immediately establishes the level of craftsmanship found throughout the home. It remains one of the project's most admired architectural features and perfectly reflects our belief that the smallest details often leave the greatest impression.

The rear of the home opens into an expansive living space where the custom kitchen, dining area, and family room come together as one. This open-concept layout encourages connection while providing a warm and inviting environment for everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen showcases custom millwork throughout, highlighted by a dramatic Caesarstone waterfall island, premium cabinetry, and carefully selected finishes that create a timeless aesthetic. Wide-plank pre-finished engineered hardwood flooring extends throughout the home, providing warmth, durability, and continuity from room to room.

Projects of this scale demand far more than quality construction. They require careful coordination, professional project management, and a team capable of guiding homeowners through every phase of the building process. From approvals and permits to the final finishing details, Douglas Reid Renovations Inc. remained committed to delivering a home that reflected the clients' vision without compromising quality at any stage.

​

Briar Hill Avenue stands as an example of what can be achieved when thoughtful planning, exceptional craftsmanship, and a collaborative approach come together. Whether building a custom home, completing a major addition, or undertaking a luxury renovation, our goal remains the same—to create timeless homes that families will enjoy for generations.
