Completely restored and reimagined, Longwood House is a landmark estate tucked within a coveted, private pocket of The Beaches. Once the summer retreat of a 19th-century lumber baron, this iconic residence now unfolds as a masterful fusion of historic grandeur and art deco sophistication.Set across nearly half an acre over two lots, 8 Crown Park Road sits quietly at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac, surrounded by the lush serenity of Ivan Forrest Gardens and overlooking Glen Manor Drive and the Glen Stewart Ravine-a setting that feels worlds away, yet entirely connected.Inside, over 8,000 sq ft spans three beautifully finished levels, where scale and light are elevated by seven walkouts that blur the line between indoors and out. Every detail reflects uncompromising craftsmanship, with globally sourced materials, imported tile from Spain and South America, alabaster lighting, and two bespoke marble-wrapped gas fireplaces.The grounds are a private, curated oasis. With over $1M in landscaping, the property honours its heritage through restored original and rare clinker brick, solid wood soffits, and a hydronic heated driveway, walkway, entry, and garage floor. Ebel stone retaining walls with granite caps frame the landscape, while a black granite rear terrace creates a striking outdoor living space.Elegant, versatile interiors unfold effortlessly-from the stately foyer and sunlit dining room to a Scavolini-designed home office-alongside a gym, games room, two wet bars, wine cellar, and in-law suite potential. Wall-to-wall windows capture uninterrupted ravine and garden views at every turn.Longwood House is not simply a residence-it is The Crown of the Beach. A private park. A legacy property. A rare and remarkable offering.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $2340/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 56 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.
