About this home
227 Donlands Ave isn't just renovated - it's a complete transformation. Gutted to the studs and totally reimagined, this detached East York home is a masterclass in smart, future-ready design. Steps from Donlands subway, with quick DVP access and the vibrant Danforth at your doorstep, the location is every bit as strong as the home itself. Major systems have been replaced throughout: upgraded electrical panel with EV charger connection, a smart heat pump with individual bedroom temperature control via ecobee Wi-Fi thermostats, high-efficiency on-demand hot water radiators, whole-home HRV ventilation, full spray foam insulation, double-pane crank windows, updated PVC plumbing, and new roof shingles (2025-2026).

Custom built-ins throughout bring calm and function to every room. Outside, a large private backyard and permeable interlocking front pad complete the picture. The finished lower level offers a bright third bedroom with upgraded egress - ideal for guests, a home office, or flex living.

Listed at $899,000, and my independent estimate is right in line with comparable homes.
In Danforth Village-East York lately, sellers get about 100% of asking; homes sell in ~28 days.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $940K, median of 31 comparables.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 31 most comparable recent sales nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, and standout features), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single sale.
It’s grounded in recent closing prices, not asking prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $823K, a bit lower.

- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Recent major systems: lower near-term capital costs, ask for the ages and any warranties. Value driver
- Upscale kitchen: a genuine value driver, verify the appliances, stone, and finishes in person. Value driver
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements. Value driver

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.
