Natural light is the first thing you notice at 52 Shaftesbury Ave. It carries through every room across all four finished levels. An end-unit position brings extra light, added privacy, and a fenced front side yard, mostly garden. Fully renovated throughout: tall ceilings, richly stained oak hardwood, crown mouldings, custom millwork, all executed to a level of finish that rewards close inspection. The main floor centres on a double-sided fireplace shared between the living and dining rooms. It warms both spaces without closing them off. The custom kitchen is built to the same standard: integrated cabinetry, stone countertops, premium appliances, and a breakfast bar that suits a quiet morning as well as it does hosting. On the second floor, a den with its own fireplace, custom built-ins and access to a private treetop deck makes a proper home office, or a reading room you'll actually use. An additional bedroom and full bath round out the level. The entire third floor is the primary suite, ensuite included, with the quiet that a floor to yourself brings. The lower level is fully finished: a recreation room with wet bar, guest bedroom and full bath, anchored by its own fireplace. A private one-car garage rounds out the home. Offered unfurnished, with bi-weekly maid service, snow clearing, gardening, and security monitoring included. Steps from Summerhill Subway Station, the Summerhill Market and the trails of David A. Balfour Park. No Smoking. No Pets.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Above Market Rent
At $8,800/mo, this is asking above the typical 4-bedroom rent of ~$4,200/mo in Rosedale. That premium needs to be justified — newer finishes, included parking, a premium location, or utilities included. I'll help you assess whether it's worth it or whether there's room to negotiate.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Rosedale'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.
Townhouse Benefits
Townhouses offer an excellent balance of space and maintenance. You get more room than a condo with lower upkeep than a detached home. Key things to verify: whether it's freehold or condo-titled (affects fees and rules), and the condition of shared walls for noise considerations. Townhouses in Rosedale have shown strong appreciation as families seek more space.
Family-Friendly Layout
4 bedrooms hits the sweet spot for most families. You'll have room for 2-3 children plus a home office or guest room. This is the most sought-after configuration for families relocating to Rosedale. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
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.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
