You will not believe what lies behind this extensively upgraded home's subtle streetscape. Nestled on a premium, oversized lot in desirable Glenway Estates, the home's open floor plan wows immediately with views through to the kitchen and family room sliding doors and to the upper floors! A breathtaking living room with soaring ceilings almost 11 feet high greets guests and light spills into this home reflecting on the solid hardwood floors running throughout the main and lower levels. Don't let the perfect proportions and generous scale of the living spaces distract your from noticing the kitchen's multiple wow factors: classic full height cabinetry, an exceptionally large eat-in area, the fact it is open to and overlooks the lower level family room, a walkout to deck and property, natural stone countertops & undermounted lighting! The spacious family room has its own walkout and a wall of custom cabinetry built around a gas fireplace and stone hearth. New wood staircases, crisp trims and updated lighting add polish and whimsey blending modern and traditional sensibilities for today's lifestyles.. The primary bedroom is a true retreat with not only an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, but its own large, private deck with a pretty trellis, ready for morning coffee. You can't get this kind of serene privacy in a new subdivision. The lower level also features another large bedroom/den with a walk-in closet and picture window overlooking patio and property, and a laundry room of a size seldom seen in even the largest homes. Convenient interior access direct to garage is a bonus! The property is almost 50 ft. wide and 133 ft. deep, a luxury in today's housing market, and set well away from busy streets despite its central Newmarket location. Almost everything you need is within a short walk including the Newmarket YRT Terminal with GO & YRT buses. This is a truly incredible location.

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 17 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $1.01M. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.
What the listing highlights2 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- 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

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 numbersThe last 16 whole-home leases in Glenway Estates signed at a median of $3,931 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,727. The gross yield above is on the asking price, before taxes and upkeep; the cap rate is after them. A finished basement or second suite can push real rent above it. Taxes, fees, and vacancy vary by property, and cap rate is before financing.
