Rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed home on a coveted 35.75 x 120 ft lot in the heart of Teddington Park, one of Toronto's most established and quietly prestigious neighbourhoods. This is not a starter home, nor is it trying to be. Ideally suited for the established buyer looking to simplify without sacrificing character, convenience, or exclusivity, this home offers the refined atmosphere that makes Lawrence Park and Teddington Park so desirable. Many buyers do not fully appreciate the difference between the east and west sides of Yonge Street. The east side of Yonge, particularly within M4N, offers a noticeably quieter residential experience with less through traffic, less congestion, and far less city noise than areas west of Yonge. The location provides immediate access to Rosedale Golf Club, The Granite Club, Crescent School, Toronto French School, Sunnybrook Hospital, beautiful ravine systems, fine dining, boutique shopping, Highway 401, and downtown Toronto. Inside, the home blends modern comfort with timeless functionality. The main floor features a chef's kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, powder room, and open-concept living and dining spaces designed for entertaining and everyday comfort. Walk out to a private rear deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped backyard retreat. An engineered floating staircase leads to the second floor where the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and private 3-piece ensuite. Two additional spacious bedrooms include one with a private balcony. A well-appointed 4-piece bathroom completes the upper level. The finished lower level includes a rec room, games area, bar, stone fireplace, and spa-inspired bathroom with oversized walk-in shower and heated towel rack. Outdoor spaces include a private top-floor walk-out deck, enclosed front garden, secure gated courtyard, rear entertaining deck, putting green, sprinkler system, attached garage, and parking for five vehicles.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1799/sqft, this property is priced above the Lawrence Park 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.
Market Position
At 28 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Lawrence Park 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.
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 Lawrence Park. 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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Lawrence Park properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $11,242 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
