Fabulous and flawless on Lauder! There's a difference between renovated and truly reimagined - and this detached home unmistakably falls into the latter. Every inch has been curated by a designer with a warm, cohesive aesthetic where soft wood tones, muted textures, and elevated finishes come together in a way that feels both refined and deeply inviting. An open-concept main floor features wide-plank hardwood, custom blinds, and thoughtfully integrated storage throughout. The living and dining room is effortlessly elegant and overlooks the kitchen which is a true standout - both beautiful and brilliantly functional. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a bespoke backsplash are paired with a full suite of Cafe appliances and a striking Falmec hood fan. The space is elevated by a center island, built-in banquet, coffee station, appliance garage, corner pull-out, office nook, and is designed for real living and effortless entertaining. Upstairs, a serene primary retreat features custom built-ins, a beautifully finished five-piece bath and laundry facilities. The lower level introduces a legal apartment finished to the same exacting standard. With its own designer kitchen, laundry, and living space, it offers meaningful rental income that can qualify you for a higher mortgage. Located just steps from the vibrant St. Clair West corridor, daily life becomes wonderfully easy - cafes, shops, parks, restaurants, and transit are all within a short stroll. This is a rare offering where design, function, and long-term value come together effortlessly. Please see attachment re front pad parking report.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $1033/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Forest Hill market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Forest Hill 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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 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 Forest Hill.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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: Forest Hill properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $6,454 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
