Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a desirable Toronto neighbourhood, this well-loved semi-detached home offers a rare setting with incredible potential. Backing directly onto expansive greenspace and the Lambton Golf & Country Club, the home enjoys a peaceful natural backdrop that makes the backyard feel like it goes on forever. Lovingly held by the same family since new, this is a home filled with history and ready for its next chapter. The main floor features a spacious living and dining room, original hardwood floors and a kitchen overlooking the backyard and beautiful setting beyond. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, along with two additional bedrooms and a 4-piece bath. One of the bedrooms previously housed a kitchen, offering interesting possibilities for buyers looking for a flexible layout. The lower level adds even more usable space with a rec room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom, home office, playroom or cozy den. With solid bones, a great layout and plenty of opportunity to make it your own, this is a home with exciting potential in a truly special setting. A detached one-car garage adds even more value.

Bloor West Village and The Junction are also within easy reach, offering an incredible selection of shops, restaurants and local favourites. Convenient access to Hwy 401 and Pearson Airport makes getting around the city and beyond easy, while the future Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will bring even more transit connectivity with a new station planned at Scarlett Road and Eglinton Avenue West.

Listed at $875,000. Going by how homes in Rockcliffe-Smythe and the wider GTA have actually closed against their asking prices (about 97%, 8 local closings in 90 days), the likely sale price is near $849K, if it sells. A realistic range is $796K to $957K.
Independent value check: $902K. Without looking at the asking price, our model values the home itself about 3% above the ask (homes like it typically land between $845K and $945K).
Why $902K. The typical semi-detached home sold in Rockcliffe-Smythe over the past year went for about $835K (23 sales). What sets this one apart:
- ▲ Raises it slightlyIts tax bill, which follows the city's own assessment, is $4,087 a year; the typical home sold here pays about $3,700.
Total price vs nearby homes. Likely closing about $849K, from 8 recent closings in this pocket.
The market behind the math:
About 1.9 months of inventory: 5 semi-detached homes for sale in the area against 8 closings in the last 90 days. Under two months favours sellers, over four favours buyers.
Price per square foot: this home lists at $673/sqft against an area asking average of $615/sqft.
- Park / green-space backing. The listing says this home backs onto or abuts a park or green space. That privacy is priced into the comparison. What is actually behind the fence, and how the lot sits against it, is my in-person call.
How this estimate is builtthe short version
This figure comes from a model built on about 44,000 recent GTA sales. It weighs this home’s tax assessment, size, age, location and features against what homes like it actually sold for, including sales in this neighbourhood.
It never sees the asking price. The 8 most comparable recent sales on their own, adjusted for size, beds, baths and lot, point to about $822K. Condition and finishes remain an in-person call.

Investor snapshot
About the suite: in Rockcliffe-Smythe basements rarely rent out (0 of 21 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 11 whole-home leases in Rockcliffe-Smythe signed at a median of $3,286 a month; adjusted to this home for size, beds and baths, and for where rents stood the month each signed, that is $3,329. 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.
