Thoughtfully envisioned and executed by renowned Arklab Design Build, this custom residence is a study in modern architecture balanced with the warmth and practicality of a true family home. Featured on Amazon's Luxe Listings Toronto, the home is flooded with natural light and occupies a generous lot on a quiet crescent. Beyond the solid mahogany entry door, a dramatic double-height dining room, sculptural red-oak staircase and glass railings make an immediate impression without feeling overstated. The main living spaces unfold naturally around the home's central gathering points. The kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining, with two substantial islands and Wolf and Thermador appliances. The adjoining family room centres on a three-sided gas fireplace, custom bar and wine display, while an architectural ethanol fireplace gives the living room its own distinctive character. Upstairs, all four bedrooms feature private ensuites, giving every family member a sense of their own space. The primary suite is particularly considered, with his-and-hers closets, a custom entertainment unit and a heated ensuite featuring a skylit shower that draws in natural light. The lower level is equally impressive, with soaring ceilings, polished concrete, heated floors, two additional bedrooms, awalkout and wet bar. Technology is seamlessly integrated throughout: smart-home controls, built-in speakers, smart PDLC window film, security cameras and battery-operated blinds complement the design. Outside, a heated front porch, walkway and driveway add year-round comfort. A two-car garage and driveway parking for four additional vehicles ensure the practical details are as carefully resolved as the architectural ones. Dramatic yet comfortable, highly designed yet genuinely livable, and sophisticated without sacrificing the ease of family life, this is a rare combination of architectural pedigree, generous scale and thoughtful execution.

Listed at $4,788,000. Going by how homes in Banbury-Don Mills and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 96%, 21 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $4.60M, if it sells. A realistic range is $4.31M to $5.18M.
Independent value check: no figure for this home. Going only by the sales record, our model lands more than 25% below the ask. At that distance an automated figure has rarely been close to the eventual sale price, so we are not printing one. The usual reason is something the record cannot show: a rebuild, a second unit, or a lot or setting unlike the homes around it.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $4.60M, from 21 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 2.9 months of inventory: 20 detached homes for sale in the area against 21 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $1,127/sqft against an area asking average of $1,016/sqft.
- Walk-up basement. Extra light, usable space, and income potential, so the estimate is a conservative floor for it.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 21 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $2.66M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Heated floors: comfort and a premium-finish signal. Lifestyle
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying

The assigned public school is Don Mills Middle School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
The listing states size as a wide range, so the size adjustment is approximate and this estimate is a rough read. I can confirm exact square footage to tighten it.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

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 numbersThe last 20 whole-home leases in Banbury-Don Mills signed at a median of $6,537 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $7,080. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
