52 Beresford Avenue, Toronto, ON
High Park-Swansea, Toronto · MLS® W13516928
About this home
An exceptional opportunity in the heart of Swansea, one of Toronto's most cherished and family friendly neighbourhoods. Situated in a rare 32 foot wide lot, this detached home offers something increasingly difficult to find in the area: private parking for two cars with no shared driveway and a generous pool sized backyard. the home itself offers a comfortable and functional layout, highlighted by a recently renovated kitchen and a bright family area that opens to a sunny west facing backyard, perfect for afternoon light and outdoor enjoyment. it can easily serve as a move-in home or rental property today, while also presenting a compelling opportunity for those considering a larger renovation or custom build in the future. For builders and investors, the value lies not only in the structure but in the land frontage and location, a combination that rarely comes to market in this established community.

Listed at $1,559,900, this home is within the range of comparable homes, on the higher side. The number above is my independent estimate of value, not the asking price.
There were not many closely comparable homes right in High Park-Swansea, so I widened the search to the surrounding area.
Based on 5 similar homes nearby, adjusted for size, beds, and baths.Median of 5 comparable active listings, adjusted for size, beds, and baths. The city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.78M, higher than the comparables and worth a second look. The comparable range is wide here, so treat this as a rough read until I run a full CMA.
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 $1.90M
- Adjusts to $1.90M
That comparable adjusts to $1.90M; the $1.25M estimate above is the median of all 5 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.
On schools, this address is zoned for Humberside Collegiate Institute, one of the higher-rated public schools in the area. A strong catchment tends to hold value and widen your resale pool, especially with family buyers.
On location, this is a very walkable address with everyday errands close by. Runnymede Rd at Deforest Rd is about a 2-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.
- Renovated / rebuilt: recent work can mean fewer upfront costs, worth confirming the scope, quality, and that permits were pulled.
- Pool: lifestyle appeal, but adds maintenance, insurance, and resale is mixed.
- Premium lot / gardens: lot size and privacy hold value and cannot be changed, verify frontage, depth, and any easements.

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.
