Welcome to 32 Castle Frank Road Designed and built by renowned Toronto architect Eustace Godfrey Bird for Gerald B. Strathy, the house known as Inchaffray was completed in 1912. It is one of the finest examples of neo-georgian architecture in Canada. Each of the principal rooms, the grand entry hall on the main floor and the lower level billiard room are panelled in a variety of woods including African oak, American oak and Fruitwood. No expense was spared in the construction and decoration of Inchaffray with extensive use of solid Quebec marble of the front portico, Ionic columns and the fireplaces as well as exceptional millwork, woodwork and fittings throughout.
The library is a grand space centred around the stunning wood burning fireplace with carved oak mantle. Built-in floor to ceiling bookshelves with glass doors and wood panelling maintain a refined elegance, while the moulded ceiling draws the eye upward. A walk-out to the family room/solarium provides access to the terrace.
Carved oak panelling with bevelled mirror inserts and a wood burning fireplace with a pink Quebec marble mantelpiece carved in neo-classical style are highlights of the formal living room. In keeping with the character of the home, the main level features restored, original hardwood floors of exceptional quality.
A Home For Elegant Entertaining The formal dining room exudes sophistication and can comfortably accommodate large dinner parties. Service is made simple with the adjoining butler s pantry featuring built-in cabinets, two wine coolers and a walk-in china and silver closet. The renovated kitchen has Jerusalem limestone floors and countertops, as well as custom cabinetry with bevelled glass and the gas stove top is situated in an Italian hearth-style brick surround. Meals can be taken in the eat-in area, or breakfast room.
An intricately carved banister with solid wood, candy cane turned spindles and wood panelling flank the main staircase to the upper floors of the home.
An ante room with three piece washroom opens to the master bedroom, which features a wood burning fireplace with a carved wood mantelpiece, crown moulding and hardwood floors.
A four piece ensuite with air jet tub and two dressing rooms with mirrored closets complete the spacious master suite.
Overlooking the back yard is the bright and airy second floor solarium. A wall of windows, three skylights and painted exposed brick walls give this room a fresh and vibrant atmosphere.
The second floor of the home includes eight bedrooms with unique features. Flexibility is a key element to the upper floor; any of these rooms can function as a bedroom, guest room, office, den or study.
Unparalleled Craftsmanship Entertaining options are in abundance, from the upper level dance floor with Tiffany glass ceiling, skylights and full wet bar, to the more casual recreation rooms in the lower level. Access to the pool is also available via the lower level.
French doors from the main level solarium open to the terracotta tiled rear terrace and breathtaking expanse of the landscaped property. Marble steps lead down to the gently sloping yard, and an in-ground cement pool provides summertime pleasure.

Situated on an enormous 123.5 ft x 339.6 ft, almost 1 acre lot overlooking the Don Valley, this home is unparalleled in its incredible quality of detail and overall condition. Inchaffray is one of the few remaining examples of neo-georgian architecture in its original state in Toronto and is one of the finest examples in Canada. No expense was spared in the construction and decoration of Inchaffray. The house features updated mechanical and electrical systems as well as renovated kitchens and washrooms. None of its original character and ambiance has been lost and today it represents one of the most finely crafted and well preserved homes of its era. This property is quietly nestled into a very pretty corner of Rosedale. The grounds are surrounded by brick and stone walls and wrought iron fencing, with wrought iron gates at the entrance to the circular drive. There is a coach house situated in the foreground, linked to the main house by a porte cochere. The view over the rear gardens is majestic, as the property is very deep and gently slopes down to the rear beltline of a heavily treed ravine. The lower level of the house has walkouts at the rear onto the pool terrace and garden area.
