There is a sense of ease to 1788 Loyst Ave that goes beyond its scale. Newly built by Geranium in Clarehaven Estates and backing onto conservation, this approx. 3,067 sq. ft. residence pairs estate-style proportions with a setting that feels open, private and connected to nature. Ten-foot ceilings and red-oak hardwood bring warmth and presence to the main level, where a formal dining room, private office and generous great room flow naturally into the kitchen and breakfast area. A substantial island anchors the space, complemented by stone counters, extended cabinetry, a pantry and adjoining servery. Beyond the 4-panel slider, the 35' x 10' covered loggia looks out to the conservation backdrop, creating a natural extension of the home for quiet mornings, summer dinners and evenings outdoors. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer a thoughtful sense of separation. The primary suite is a true retreat with a raised ceiling, walk-in closet and ensuite with freestanding tub, glass shower and double vanity. The secondary bedrooms are equally well considered, with dedicated ensuite access, vaulted ceiling details and second-floor laundry close at hand. The unfinished lower level gives the home room to evolve, with approx. 9' ceilings, windows, a cold cellar and 3-piece rough-in ready for future living space. A three-car garage and well-planned mudroom add everyday function without interrupting the home's sense of refinement. Set within Clarehaven, an intimate, architecturally controlled estate community connected to the established hamlet of Claremont, the location offers a quieter pace without feeling removed. Trails, conservation lands, golf and four-season recreation shape the surrounding landscape, while Highway 407, Old Elm GO, Stouffville and Markham remain within reach. Space here is not simply measured in square feet. It is felt in the outlook, the privacy and the room to live well.

Independent value check: $1.99M. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 12% below the ask (homes like it typically land between $1.87M and $2.09M).

The market behind the math:
About 0.7 months of inventory: 9 detached homes for sale in the area against 41 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $692/sqft against an area asking average of $505/sqft.
- Park / green-space backing. The listing says this home backs onto or abuts a park or green space. That privacy is priced into the comparison. What is actually behind the fence, and how the lot sits against it, is my in-person call.
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 41 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.29M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Tall ceilings: they transform how a home feels, worth confirming the actual heights room to room. Worth verifying
- Hardwood floors: quality hardwood is durable and broadly desirable. Lifestyle

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.

Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
