Custom Architect-Designed Home in Prestigious Newtonbrook West - A True One-of-a-Kind. Originally built in 1978 by an architect as his own personal residence, this stunning 2.5-storey masterpiece reflects a rare vision that simply cannot be replicated. Angular skylights, soaring ceilings, and dramatic windows throughout make this home unlike anything else on the market. The main floor welcomes you with rich hardwood floors, striking architectural windows with custom shutters, and a show stopping two-sided fireplace shared between the living and dining rooms. Step through the walkout to a beautiful backyard oasis with a stone patio and lush gardens on a generous 132-ft deep lot. Every bedroom opens to a wraparound balcony - a rare and coveted feature. The spacious primary retreat boasts a large closet, a 4-piece ensuite, and private balcony walkout. Two additional generously sized bedrooms each offer ample space and balcony access. The versatile loft with brand new vinyl flooring and a striking angular ceiling is ideal as a 4th bedroom, home office, or studio. The fully finished basement is an entertainer's retreat and wellness haven - unwind in your private sauna, enjoy the 3-piece bath, cozy up by the fireplace, or head straight out to the backyard via the convenient walk-up. It's a level of functionality rarely found in homes of this character. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, you're steps to TTC bus routes and minutes to Finch Station (Line 1) for a straight shot downtown. The Finch Bus Terminal connects to GO Transit and York Region Transit. Top-rated schools including Newtonbrook Secondary, Drewry Secondary, and Brebeuf College are all nearby, along with G. Ross Lord Park, Centerpoint Mall, and the vibrant shops and dining along Yonge Street. An architecturally significant home, perfectly located - truly one of a kind.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $500/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.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Willowdale'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 Willowdale 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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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: Willowdale properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,163 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
