Set on a remarkable half acre ravine lot overlooking the Medway Valley Heritage Forest, this is a rare offering on one of London's most recognized streets, Doncaster Ave. Known for its estate-sized properties, this enclave offers a blend of privacy, natural beauty and proximity to University Hospital, Western University and premier amenities. Set well back from the road, this home presents as an understated, sprawling ranch with reclaimed brick and an expansive porch. Inside, the scale and layout reveal a much larger two-storey residence, thoughtfully designed to capture the surrounding landscape from nearly every principal room. The elegant living room with a large window frames uninterrupted views of the forest beyond. A generously sized dining room provides the perfect setting for entertaining, while the kitchen, expansive for its time, offers abundant cabinetry and dedicated dinette overlooking the natural setting, an exceptional opportunity for future redesign. Adjacent, the family room is inviting, complete with built-in shelving and walkout to a terrace. A standout feature is the secluded secondary suite offering a bedroom, bath and lounge with fireplace, bar and terrace access, ideal for guests, multigenerational living or a private retreat. The main level is completed by a powder room and an exceptionally large laundry/mudroom with inside entry to the garage, a forward-thinking design for its era. Upstairs, 5 well-proportioned bedrooms are all oriented to the rear of the home to maximize the ravine views, two bathrooms and extensive storage throughout. The lower level offers additional space with large windows and potential for future finishing. Outdoors, the setting is truly exceptional, with two terraces overlooking the forest and ample space to create a resort-style backyard with pool. A rare opportunity to secure a substantial home on a premier street, offering scale, setting, and the chance to own in one of London's most distinguished neighbourhoods.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $445/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Market Position
At 45 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 London North 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 London North.
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.
