High Park-Swansea, Toronto · MLS® W12551128
About this home
Welcome to a stately 1911 High Park residence set on an exceptional 50 x 175 ft lot. This rare, estate-sized property offers a private backyard oasis, extraordinary depth, and parking for up to 12 vehicles via a wide paved driveway - a near-impossible find in the city. A grand early-century character home nestled in a park-like setting with mature trees and serene views, this is one of High Park's most compelling offerings. Currently configured as multiple apartments, the property presents outstanding flexibility. Options include maintaining the existing layout, redeveloping into a 6-9 unit multiplex (subject to approvals), adding a garden suite or ADU, or restoring it to a magnificent single-family residence. With its generous footprint, stately façade, and classic 1911 architectural details, the upside is exceptional. The basement was updated approximately 40 years ago, featuring higher ceilings, larger windows, and three separate entrances, offering strong potential for additional units or flexible use. The roof was replaced approximately 5 years ago at a cost of $54,000. Ideal for builders, developers, investors, or end-users seeking multi-generational living or significant rental upside in a neighbourhood where demand consistently exceeds supply. Prime Parkside location with direct access to High Park's trails, gardens, sports facilities, and the lakefront. Steps to TTC, minutes to Roncesvalles Village, and close to top-rated schools. Being sold as-is, where-is.

Rooms
Listed at $2,499,000, this home is tracking about 21% below a wider set of listings, though close matches were thin, so it is worth confirming with a precise CMA rather than reading it as a clear deal. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There are only a few closely comparable homes right here, so this is a broad read from wider listings in the area. Ask me for a precise CMA before relying on it.
Based on 16 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 16 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $2.43M, lower than the comparables and worth a second look.
How I got there
Here is the exact math behind the estimate. I start from the closest comparable listing and adjust for the real differences (size, beds, baths) to land on a like-for-like value for this home.
- Closest comparable, listed at $2.25M
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms +$45K
- Adjusts to $2.27M
That comparable adjusts to $2.27M; the $3.15M estimate above is the median of all 16 comparables, which is steadier than any single home.This uses comparable active listings, not sold prices. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and I can run a full CMA with recent solds.
Its public catchment (Garden Avenue Junior Public School) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Parkside Dr at Algonquin Ave is about a 1-minute walk away. Walkable, transit-friendly spots tend to hold value and widen your resale pool.

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.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment.
- Garden / laneway suite potential: extra-unit upside, but confirm zoning and feasibility with the city.
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition.

Investor snapshot
Income potential: the basement has a separate entrance, which often supports a rentable in-law or second suite. That can lift real rent well above the figure above and help carry the mortgage. Ask us about permitted use in this area.
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.
