About this home
Attention builders, developers, and savvy investors-exceptional opportunity to acquire a prime 26.43 x 153.52 ft lot (4,047 sq ft) in Toronto's sought-after Runnymede area. Being sold strictly for land value. The existing structure has sustained extensive water damage (plumbing; not land waters) and is not habitable - demolition or major renovation is required. This deep, well-proportioned lot offers excellent potential for redevelopment in a neighbourhood experiencing steady reinvestment and new custom builds. Ideally located just minutes to Stockyards Village, public transit (TTC) and nearby subway access, reputable schools, parks, and amenities, with convenient connections leading to the Gardiner Expressway and Highway 400. Laneway access at the rear adds flexibility and future potential. Rare chance to secure a solid footprint in a high-demand west-end location. Property sold in "as is, where is" condition with no warranties or representations. Buyers are to conduct their own due diligence regarding zoning, permits, and development potential. A rare chance to secure a deep lot in an evolving neighbourhood with strong upside.

Listed at $889,999, and my independent estimate is about 19% below comparable homes, worth a close look.
In Rockcliffe-Smythe lately, sellers get about 100% of asking; homes sell in ~22 days.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.09M, median of 56 comparables.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 56 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 $872K, a bit lower.
What the listing highlights4 points to weigh
Claims from the listing, worth confirming in person. I can book you a private showing.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled. Value driver
- Transit / schools nearby: convenience and resale support, verify the exact distances and school catchment. Value driver
- Development potential: upside only if zoning permits, verify with the city before relying on it. Worth verifying
- Sold as-is / needs work: budget for renovation, the price should reflect the condition. Weigh carefully

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.
