Bendale, Toronto · MLS® E13729834
About this home
Nestled in a park-like setting, 23 Norbury Crescent is located within Midland Park (Bendale), a notable modernist heritage neighbourhood in Toronto. This mid-century modern 3 bedroom home has been tastefully updated without altering the original open concept floorplan. With gleaming light maple hardwood floors throughout, and soaring cathedral ceilings, the house presents a truly unique design esthetic. Sliding pocket doors, a massive front foyer, walkout from the dining room to a large elevated back deck make this home a perfect blend of form and function. The windows, HVAC, washer and dryer, kitchen with its sparkling white stone counter tops, and bathroom have all been tastefully updated. Constructed to last, the house was built utilizing steel beams in both the peak of the roof and in the basement for the ultimate in structural integrity. The living room contains three massive floor to ceiling windows bringing an abundance of light into the room. The large family room on the lower level has large above ground oversized windows, making the room feel anything but like a basement. Adjacent to the brightly lit laundry room is the entry way to a massive crawl space so you will never run out of storage capacity. Situated on a large 45 x 120 ft lot with several mature trees, the property provides a private green oasis. Custom stone interlocking driveway and paths provide a stunning finishing touch to the exterior. The house sits adjacent to Donwood Park while on the opposite side of the park is Donwood Park Public School and David and Mary Thomson Collegiate. Children can actually walk to school and teenagers are steps from a TTC stop. With all the amenities and shopping you could wish for located within a short 5 minute drive (Scarborough Town Centre, the 401 Hwy, Scarborough General Hospital, and Thomson Park), this property is truly something special.

- REAL ESTATE HOMEWARD
Listed at $945,000. My estimate lands at $886K. The ask is about 7% ahead of that, which usually means the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or simply room to negotiate. Worth a close look at what justifies it before you offer.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $886K, median of 6 comparables.
The market behind the math:
Price per square foot: this home lists at $727/sqft against an area asking average of $682/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Ravine / green setting. This home sits beside a green space, a premium that comparable-sales math under-prices, so read the estimate as a floor.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 6 most comparable recent listings 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 listing.
It’s grounded in comparable active listings. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $884K, a close match.

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.
