This Grande Dame of Lawrence Park is an absolute treasure. Sitting on a 96 x 144 foot wide double lot set back from the street on a hill, this majestic home greets you with a rare combination of warmth and elegance. A centre hall plan seamlessly offers a formal living room to the left and sophisticated office to the right, before leading down the hall to the separate formal dining room with a stamped metal tile ceiling. The bright family kitchen overlooking the stunning yard is a delight with a large centre island and premium stainless steel appliances. The adjoining breakfast room with banquet seating overlooks an oversized family room, with built-in shelving, separate desk area and fireplace. French doors lead to a stunning outdoor haven with a covered outdoor deck, an inground pool and cabana under a canopy of trees.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1570/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 55 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.
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.
