Toronto real estate is full of character homes, but few can say they come with a built-in portrait of the woman who once lived there.
At 114 Glen Rd., in the heart of Rosedale, a stained glass likeness of Mrs. Applegate gazes down from the staircase landing — a self-portrait that's been watching over the house since it was built around 1910.
"The original owners, the Applegate family, actually built two homes in Rosedale.
There's even a stained glass window of Mrs. Applegate herself — it's such a rare and charming detail."
Downstairs, you'll find a recreation room with its own fireplace, an exercise room and the laundry room.
