Welcome to 43 Chester Ave: a detached 3-storey custom designed home in Coveted Playter Estates. The home was totally rebuilt in 2015, with an Architect and Designer who thought of everything. Throughout the house are high ceilings, hardwood floors, and low-profile radiators providing a consistent temperature. The open-concept main floor features a bright living room with a stylish built-in gas fireplace, dining room with ample space for family dinners, and a beautifully outfitted custom kitchen with two counters for seating and a built-in desk for the kids to do homework while dinner is cooking.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 25+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1333/sqft, this property is priced above the Danforth 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.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Danforth's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Danforth 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 Danforth.
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: Danforth properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $8,329 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
