The Carson & Dunlop home inspector said it best: "This is a spectacular renovation." This renovation/addition is a true labour of love done by an owner with exquisite taste and an eye for quality and detail. She didn't plan on moving, but plans change and now you get the rare opportunity to live in this stunning home. The sparkling white kitchen with it's spacious island features top of the line appliances (Miele and Fisher Paykel) and has every bell and whistle you could want. Combined with the open concept living and dining rooms, this bright and light space is perfect for entertaining. The family room has floor to ceiling windows and doors leading to the fabulous deck and private garden - ideal for relaxing or socializing with friends and family. There are four gorgeous bathrooms including a handy main floor powder room and a primary bedroom ensuite. Do you like exposed brick walls, glass railings and custom sliding barn doors? You'll find them here. You will also find a fully finished basement for extra space. This home has been extensively renovated from top to bottom (pre-listing inspection report available) including kitchen, 4 bathrooms, HVAC, 200 amp electric, plumbing, Pella windows, engineered hardwood flooring, glass railings, drywall, deck and so much more! Another rare bonus - it has 2 parking spaces, one legal front yard space and a fantastic garage off Heather Street. To top it all off, this is one of the very best neighbourhoods in the city, known as John Ross, after the local public school. You can walk to the subway and all the great shops and restaurants on this part of Yonge. The public schools here (the aforementioned John Ross Robertson, Glenview, Lawrence Park Collegiate and North Toronto Collegiate) are highly regarded and you'll be close to private schools like UCC, Havergal, St. Clement's and Toronto French. It doesn't get any better than this so don't miss out on this one of a kind opportunity.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1400/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 67 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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 4 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 $8,750 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
