About this home
This Grande Dame of Lawrence Park is an absolute treasure. Sitting on a 96 x 144 foot wide double lot set back from the street on a hill, this majestic home greets you with a rare combination of warmth and elegance. A centre hall plan seamlessly offers a formal living room to the left and sophisticated office to the right, before leading down the hall to the separate formal dining room with a stamped metal tile ceiling. The bright family kitchen overlooking the stunning yard is a delight with a large centre island and premium stainless steel appliances. The adjoining breakfast room with banquet seating overlooks an oversized family room, with built-in shelving, separate desk area and fireplace. French doors lead to a stunning outdoor haven with a covered outdoor deck, an inground pool and cabana under a canopy of trees. A chic powder room and side-door mudroom round out this traditional elegant main floor. Five generous-sized bedrooms, one with an ensuite, along with a three-piece bath and full-size laundry make up the substantial second floor, with room for everyone in the family. The third floor primary suite is a serene oasis with an oversized five-piece bath, two large walk-in closets, two balconies flanking each side of the room and floor, and an especially spacious living space, making it the perfect retreat. The lower level offers an oversized recreation/media room with a kitchen conveniently attached, a nearby sauna, a private wine cellar, utility room and plenty of storage. Built in 1913 and extensively redesigned in 1996, this distinguished home is a rare find in the city. Boasting a total of 6,000 square feet over four floors this classic Edwardian offers endless opportunities to convene as a family or entertain both indoors and out.

Listed at $5,495,000, this home is within the range of a wider set of listings, but with few close matches nearby, so worth confirming with a precise CMA. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 6 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 6 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $5.66M, a close match.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $7.00M
- Bathrooms −$30K
- Adjusts to $6.97M
That comparable adjusts to $6.97M; the $5.92M estimate above is the median of all 6 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
On schools, this address is zoned for Lawrence Park 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 more car-dependent spot, so buyers here typically drive. Transit is limited nearby. Worth weighing if transit access matters to you.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $5.92M, median of 6 comparables.
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.
- Ravine lot: privacy and premium value, but confirm the buildable area and any conservation limits.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment.
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition.
- Worth verifying
- Weigh carefully

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.
