About this home
The Carson & Dunlop home inspector said it best: "This is a spectacular renovation." This renovation/addition is a true labour of love done by an owner with exquisite taste and an eye for quality and detail. She didn't plan on moving, but plans change and now you get the rare opportunity to live in this stunning home. The sparkling white kitchen with it's spacious island features top of the line appliances (Miele and Fisher Paykel) and has every bell and whistle you could want. Combined with the open concept living and dining rooms, this bright and light space is perfect for entertaining. The family room has floor to ceiling windows and doors leading to the fabulous deck and private garden - ideal for relaxing or socializing with friends and family. There are four gorgeous bathrooms including a handy main floor powder room and a primary bedroom ensuite. Do you like exposed brick walls, glass railings and custom sliding barn doors? You'll find them here. You will also find a fully finished basement for extra space. This home has been extensively renovated from top to bottom (pre-listing inspection report available) including kitchen, 4 bathrooms, HVAC, 200 amp electric, plumbing, Pella windows, engineered hardwood flooring, glass railings, drywall, deck and so much more! Another rare bonus - it has 2 parking spaces, one legal front yard space and a fantastic garage off Heather Street. To top it all off, this is one of the very best neighbourhoods in the city, known as John Ross, after the local public school. You can walk to the subway and all the great shops and restaurants on this part of Yonge. The public schools here (the aforementioned John Ross Robertson, Glenview, Lawrence Park Collegiate and North Toronto Collegiate) are highly regarded and you'll be close to private schools like UCC, Havergal, St. Clement's and Toronto French. It doesn't get any better than this so don't miss out on this one of a kind opportunity.

Heads up: the asking price here sits well above what comparable listings suggest. That can point to premium finishes, a bigger lot, or simply an ambitious ask, so it is worth a close look before you offer. I would not put an automatic figure on this one. Tell me you are interested and I will pull the most comparable recent sales and give you a straight answer on what it will really take.
Ask Moe if this price is fairOn schools, this address is zoned for North Toronto Collegiate Institute, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Yonge St at Blythwood Rd is about a 5-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
What the listing highlightsThese are claims from the listing. The only way to know for sure is to see it in person, and I am happy to book you a private showing.
- Finished basement: added living space, worth checking ceiling height and that the work was permitted.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Addition / added square footage: more space lifts value when it is permitted and well integrated, verify the permits.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Primary suite: a key comfort and resale feature.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Thinking of this home as an investment? We will pull real comparable rents and run the full numbers with you.
Talk about the numbersEstimates only. Rent is modelled on above-grade size and local norms, so a finished basement or second suite (a separate entrance often means one) can push real rent well above this. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing. A starting point, not a final number, let us run the real ones with you.
