About this home
Perched on the Scarborough Bluffs with sweeping lake views, this sophisticated home was built in 2011 and offers over 5,000 sq. ft. across four levels. A modern "cottage" in the city, ideal for empty-nesters or professionals looking for tranquility very close to the city. From multiple vantage points you are treated to lakeside vistas, most notably from the show-stopping 875 sq. ft. rooftop terrace with a full outdoor custom kitchen (B/I fridge & BBQ) and gas fireplace. Additional outdoor spaces include a main floor composite deck, a fully fenced and extensively landscaped yard and a new glass-fenced cliffside patio. Inside, a custom chef's kitchen anchors the main floor with an open living/dining area plus a family room perfectly appointed for cozy movie nights. A private office is tucked away behind the kitchen. Upstairs, the primary suite offers two ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets. A renovated second-floor bath features a new skylight and curbless shower, while the laundry room has new cabinetry, marble counters, and Miele appliances. The lower level features extra-high ceilings, a gym, renovated bath, partial kitchen, and garage access that's ideal for a nanny/in-law suite. The 2-car garage includes new epoxy flooring, slat wall storage and fastback hanging Kayak storage. Recent upgrades extend outdoors with a sprinkler system, upgraded landscaping, built-in BBQ & fridge and a custom front door. Set within a close-knit community and near top-rated Chine Drive Public School, you'll also enjoy quick access to the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail plus hidden neighbourhood trails at the base of the Bluffs that provide direct lakeside access few know about. Birchmount Stadium, parks, and tennis courts are within walking distance, with shops and restaurants like City Cottage Market and The Birchcliff nearby. Just minutes from the Beaches but without the congestion; this is where waterfront luxury meets everyday comfort.

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 fairThe assigned public school is Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Kingston Rd at Cliffside Dr East Side is about a 8-minute walk away.
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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person.
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room.
- 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.

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.
