About this home
This cherished family home, proudly owned by the same family for over 40 years, is being offered for sale for the very first time. Over the decades, it has been filled with love, laughter, and Sunday dinners around the dining table, a space that has been deeply cared for and warmly lived in. Set on a 220-foot extra-deep lot with sunny south-facing exposure, the backyard is surrounded by lush greenery, offering a peaceful and private escape. Perfect for summer gatherings on the large deck or simply enjoying quiet moments in the sun. Set well back from Burnhamthorpe, the home offers exceptional privacy and a quiet ambiance that feels pleasantly removed from the street. With over 5,000 square feet of space, this home is ready to be reimagined. The existing layout is both functional and flexible, featuring generously sized rooms and a floor plan that lends itself beautifully to modern updates. The spacious walkout lower level offers exciting potential to convert it into an income-generating suite or a private space for extended family, a great fit for multi-generational living. Located in prime Etobicoke, between Thorncrest Village and Bloor West, this is a neighbourhood known for its family-friendly feel, excellent schools, and a strong sense of community. You are close to transit, highways, beautiful parks, Islington Golf Club, plus great shopping, dining, and local cafes; everything you need is nearby. This is more than just a house, it's an opportunity to make a truly special property your own.

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 $2.40M
- Bedrooms −$30K
- Bathrooms −$15K
- Adjusts to $2.35M
That comparable adjusts to $2.35M; the $2.69M estimate above is the median of all 13 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 (Etobicoke Collegiate Institute) tests around the provincial average, a steady, family-friendly draw. The full EQAO breakdown is below.
On location, it is moderately walkable, so some daily errands are within reach and for the rest you will likely drive. Kipling Ave at Burnhamthorpe Rd is about a 2-minute walk away.

Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval.

Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.
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.
