About this home
Rosedale addresses always speak for themselves, but this one also happens to offer exceptional versatility, income potential, and long-term upside. Nestled in coveted North Rosedale, just moments from Chorley Park, the ravine trail system, Summerhill Market, Evergreen Brick Works, prestigious public and private schools, and beautiful tree-lined streets, this detached brick residence presents a rare opportunity in one of Toronto's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Currently configured as three separate living spaces, the property offers incredible versatility. The renovated main floor suite offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, elegant principal rooms with heated floors, a fireplace, an updated kitchen, and a walkout to a private landscaped rear garden. The second floor offers a bright and well-proportioned three bedroom suite with an additional office/sunroom space, a fireplace, an updated kitchen and bathroom, and excellent natural light throughout. Completing the property is a finished lower-level studio suite, providing an additional income stream. The backyard also features a sweet little shed- great for storage, but also think art studio or quiet retreat. Set on a lush and quiet 25 x 136 foot lot, this is a unique Rosedale offering where prestige, performance, and flexibility come together beautifully.

Listed at $1,995,000, this home is about 34% above what comparable homes suggest. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
Priced above comparable homes overall, but the price per square foot ($887/sqft) is below the area, so you are paying for extra space rather than a premium.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in Rosedale-Moore Park, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 9 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 9 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $3.10M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look.
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 $1.50M
- Bedrooms +$30K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $1.51M
That comparable adjusts to $1.51M; the $1.49M estimate above is the median of all 9 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.
Its public catchment (Whitney Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Douglas Dr at Douglas Dr - Chorley Park is about a 2-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.49M, median of 9 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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Heated floors: comfort and a premium-finish signal.

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.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
