Hidden behind a mature wall of hedges on one of South Hill's most coveted streets, this Georgian Revival residence pairs Old World character with the romance of a European garden estate, offering scale and privacy on a 79.65 x 110 ft lot. A gated stone walkway leads to a classical columned portico, sunlit foyer, and sweeping staircase. Inside, 6,464 square feet of living space features soaring ceilings, solid hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, and original detailing. Exceptionally bright yet remarkably private, every room overlooks greenery rather than neighbouring homes or the street. Both the formal living room and panelled dining room feature bay windows and wood-burning fireplaces, with the living room opening to a covered veranda. A chef-calibre kitchen with honed Calacatta counters and framed cabinetry flows into a breakfast area and family room, a welcoming space for everyday living. Upstairs, an expansive primary suite with beautifully appointed ensuite joins two generous bedrooms; the third floor offers two more bedrooms, an office, den, and family room with gas fireplace. The spacious lower level includes a recreation room, wine cellar, gym, and large mudroom with a backyard walkout connecting to the driveway. Outside, the terracotta-floored veranda overlooks landscaped gardens framed by mature hedges and Japanese maples-an extraordinarily peaceful, secluded retreat that makes you forget you're in Midtown Toronto. Despite being home to some of Toronto's finest residences, South Hill has a distinctly understated and discreet character that sets it apart from many of the city's other affluent neighbourhoods. Its desirable position south of St. Clair offers easy access to Yorkville and downtown, moments from Winston Churchill Park, Yonge & St. Clair shops and restaurants, and respected public and private schools. Beautifully maintained over the years, the home is move-in ready, with the opportunity to personalize it over time.

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.

Talk to Team Asgarian about your options
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.
