Set on one of North Toronto's most storied streets, 124 Blythwood is a rare, yet handsome thing. A 1923 Georgian Colonial with Gambrel Roofline that has only deepened with time. Carefully proportioned living across the traditional centre hall plan, along with a modern addition with a sunken main floor family room with panoramic views of the pool and deep rear gardens. When not outside, this is the room the whole house gravitates toward. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary with a sitting area, generous closets, and a renovated ensuite overlooking the back gardens. The fully finished basement is a home within the home: a rec room with a gas fireplace and Murphy bed, a games room, a wine cellar, a cedar-lined walk-in, a workshop, and storage that actually solves problems. Outside, perennial gardens bloom spring through fall, a heated inground pool with diving board and waterslide anchors every summer, and the Ipe deck with electric awnings handles the overflow. Two-car garage with power for an EV charger. Full-home generator on 200-amp service - no outage disrupts this house. Independently inspected and rated above average for its age. Slate roof in excellent condition. Newer Daikin furnace and central air (2023), Mitsubishi split AC for the third floor. Maintained and improved with intention for decades. Blythwood JPS, Glenview, and Lawrence Park CI form the best school corridor in midtown. Lawrence Station is a 14-minute walk. The 401 is minutes away when the city needs a pause. This is the home you stop looking after you find it.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1357/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.
Market Position
At 34 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,500 sqft, this is a substantial home. Budget approximately $400-600/month more for utilities compared to an average-sized home. Maintenance costs scale with size too - roof, HVAC, and cleaning all cost more. That said, space is a luxury that's hard to add later, and larger homes often have better resale in family-oriented neighbourhoods.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 bedrooms, you have genuine flexibility. Beyond the master and kids' rooms, you can have a dedicated home office, guest room, hobby space, or even rental income potential. In today's work-from-home era, extra bedrooms add significant value. Properties with 5+ bedrooms are relatively rare in Lawrence Park.
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.
