Completely restored and reimagined, Longwood House is a landmark estate in a coveted, private pocket of The Beach. Once the summer retreat of a 19th-century lumber baron, this iconic residence now stands as a masterful blend of historic grandeur and art-deco sophistication. Commanding nearly half an acre across two lots, 8 Crown Park Road sits privately perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by the lush beauty of Ivan Forrest Gardens and overlooking Glen Manor Drive and the Glen Stewart Ravine. Inside, the scale is breathtaking with three full levels, seven walkouts, and over 8,000 sq. ft. of living space (Main: 2,871 sq. ft. | 2nd: 2,425 sq. ft. | Lower: 3,074 sq. ft.). Every inch has been meticulously rebuilt with timeless craftsmanship and curated materials sourced from around the world: imported tile from Spain and South America, alabaster lighting in the living room, pantry, and bar, and three custom gas fireplaces wrapped in bespoke marble. The grounds are a private oasis. Over $1M in landscaping includes restored original brick (including rare clinker brick), solid wood soffits, a hydronic heated driveway, walkway, entry, and garage floor, a full-property irrigation system, Ebel stone retaining walls with granite caps, and an expansive rear terrace finished in black granite. Elegant, versatile spaces throughout offer both light and warmth from the stately foyer, sunlit dining room, and Scavolini millwork home office, to the gym, games' room, two wet bars, wine cellar, and in-law suite potential. With wall-to-wall windows framing lush ravine and garden views from every angle, Longwood House truly is The Crown of the Beach, your own private park in the heart of the city.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $2960/sqft, this property is priced above the The Beaches 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 137 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for The Beaches. 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 The Beaches 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 5,000 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 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 The Beaches.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 7 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.
