The experience begins on arrival with a heated driveway, followed by 12+ foot ceilings, skylights, and a raised, light-filled living space that set the tone for scale and warmth. The chef's kitchen is anchored by a large island wrapped in a fluted finish, a design motif echoed throughout the home in Vogt faucets, solid brass hardware, and refined architectural accents. Custom millwork is paired with a premium appliance suite including a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, Wolf six-burner gas cooktop, wall oven, and Bosch dishwasher. The family room is elegant yet inviting, featuring fluted oak veneer panels, custom built-ins, and a porcelain fireplace, with floor-to-ceiling glass opening to a beautifully landscaped backyard. Enjoy a composite deck, interlocking surfaces, gas lines for a BBQ and firepit, gazebo, and full landscape illumination-ideal for quiet evenings at home. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene retreat with custom cabinetry, dual sinks, wall-mounted vanity, linear drain, floor bench, and a seamless full-slab stone shower. One additional bedroom includes its own ensuite, while two others share a bath. A convenient upper-level laundry completes the floor, with rough-ins in place for a future second laundry in the basement. The finished lower level features heated floors, a spacious rec room with walkout, wet bar, wine display, and flexible living space with direct access to the garage. Engineered for comfort and longevity, the home includes radiant in-floor heating for all stone surfaces, a high-efficiency furnace with heat pump cooling, tankless hot water, sump pump, integrated drainage system, an interlock driveway with snow-melt on stairs, and epoxy garage floors with LED lighting. Smart home features include Control4, an Ecobee thermostat, built-in speakers, a Wi-Fi booster, and security cameras. Set between Avenue Road and Yonge Street, within the coveted Allenby Junior PS and North Toronto CI catchments.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1398/sqft, this property is priced above the Lawrence Park average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 52 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Lawrence Park. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Lawrence Park are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Lawrence Park. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 5 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Lawrence Park properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $11,646 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
