The 1 Dundee Drive Estate Residence. A rare estate styled corner property with unmatched depth, privacy, and architectural flexibility. Commanding a coveted 57 x 122 ft corner property facing the uninterrupted greens of Sentinel Park and a flood-lit baseball diamond, this residence offers a level of land value, natural light, and privacy that is almost never available within Toronto's urban grid. Mature evergreens, sculpted gardens, and multiple outdoor zones create a serene estate-like presence that feels worlds away from the city - yet moments from transit, York University, Downsview and Sentinel Park, nature trails and community amenities. Uniquely configured as a dual-residence estate, the home delivers exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, income generation, or lifestyle expansion. The ground-level above-grade residence is a fully independent 2-bedroom suite - bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with its own kitchen, dining area, 3-piece washroom, private laundry, and dedicated storage. With Toronto-approved STR eligibility, it functions seamlessly as a high-yield rental, Airbnb suite, or private in-law residence. The main floor estate residence offers three generous bedrooms, a large drawing-cum-dining room, a European-style kitchen, and a full 4-piece washroom. Its signature feature is the breathtaking huge three-sided glass solarium - a year-round destination room with 8-foot double-glass windows framing exceptional sunset views, an insulated European-style ceiling, and space for a kitchen garden, lounge, studio, or dining pavilion. The backyard is thoughtfully divided into two distinct outdoor environments: one for entertaining, the other for quiet retreat. For the lifestyle-driven buyer seeking rarity, flexibility, and architectural character, this is your new home. This is Number 1 Dundee Drive - Opportunities like this do not return.

Listed at $1,250,000 with no offer date, so the ask is the seller’s number, and homes priced this way sell close to it. My read is $1.21M, typically $1.06M to $1.35M. Comparable listings on their own put this home around $1.12M, so the ask carries a premium over the comparables: the seller is pricing in the finishes, the lot, or room to negotiate. That gap is your negotiating room.
Second read, from the city assessment: $1.14M. Similar homes sold in line with their assessments, and this one lands close to the comparable-sales figure, which is what a firm read looks like.
Total price vs nearby homes. Fair value about $1.21M, median of 5 comparables.
The market behind the math:
About 1.8 months of inventory: 7 detached homes for sale in the area against 12 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $962/sqft against an area asking average of $705/sqft. Size and $/sqft both feed the estimate above.
- Corner lot. Two street frontages: more to landscape, shovel and mow, and more exposure to traffic, wind and headlights at night. Buyers price that against an interior lot on the same street, so I read this one on the cautious side and confirm the setting in person.
- Walk-out basement apartment features. A finished 2 bed walk-out basement apartment with a separate entrance and a second kitchen. A self-contained space for extended family, guests or potential income. In York University Heights basements rarely rent out (3 of 17 recent detached leases were basement units), so buyers here treat a suite as family or nanny space rather than income. Value it for the living space, not the rent. Second-suite retrofit status is not verified. A buyer intending to rent should confirm requirements with the City of Toronto.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
I take the 5 most comparable recent listings nearby and adjust each one to this home for the real differences (size, beds, baths, garage, lot frontage, a ravine backing, an inground pool), then use the median, which is steadier than leaning on any single listing.
It’s grounded in comparable active listings. Lot, condition, and finishes are my in-person call, and the city (MPAC) assessment points to about $1.14M, a close match.
Schools & getting aroundcatchment and transit
The assigned public school is Lamberton Public School. EQAO is only one input, and families here also look at French Immersion, boundary, and private options, the full breakdown is below.
Read this with carewhy it’s an estimate, not an appraisal
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.

Affordability & Mortgage
Income needed assumes a ~32% GDS ratio; weekly is mortgage principal & interest only. Price ÷ income is the home price over the income needed. Fixed reference assumptions so listings compare on equal footing, not a lending decision.

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in York University Heights basements rarely rent out (3 of 17 recent detached leases were basement units), so the figure above does not count it as income. Buyers here use a suite as family or nanny space.
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 6 whole-home leases in York University Heights signed at a median of $3,600 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,044. 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.
