Situated on a prime west-facing 50 x 132 ft lot in the heart of Forest Hill South, this classic Tudor centre hall plan offers good bones, a great location, with exceptional potential. The distinguished 2-storey brick and stone residence, built in 1932 and cherished by the same family for generations, showcases timeless proportions, original character, and enduring craftsmanship.

The lower level adds valuable recreation space, laundry, storage, and utility areas. A built-in garage with private drive parking, stone and brick exterior, gas hot water heating, central air conditioning, and solid structural fundamentals further enhance the offering. Bathed in natural light from its west lot on Gardiner Road, the property enjoys a coveted streetscape in close proximity to top public and private schools, parks, library, greenbelt, transit, and places of worship.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1260/sqft, this property is priced above the Forest Hill 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 130 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Forest Hill. 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 Forest Hill 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.
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 Forest Hill.
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: Forest Hill properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $13,125 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
