Situated on one of Forest Hill's most coveted and quietest streets, 12 Millbank Avenue is an exquisitely-designed home exuding luxury at every turn. Meticulously rebuilt over two years, including a primary suite addition in 2019, this Tudor-style brick house blends traditional Forest Hill charm with a modern elevated aesthetic design throughout by Tara Fingold Design Group. At the heart of this home is a large open-concept kitchen with an oversized island, a suite of Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, walk-in pantry and adjoining breakfast area. All adjacent to an exquisite dining room with a window seat and custom cabinetry. Steps down to a bright, expansive family room with electric fireplace, a wetbar and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking an impeccably-designed yard with both outdoor dining and seating, built-in BBQ, swimming pool and sport court, all among a topiary of tall trees. The primary suite addition is an oasis, with a stunning bespoke built-in King sized bed, an office with custom cabinetry, a walk-in closet, 5-piece spa ensuite and potential for a walkout deck. Three chic bedrooms with ensuites, custom millwork and closets along with a spacious secondary laundry room round out this space. A mud room with ample storage greets you on the fully-finished lower level, with abundant family space. A luxurious media room with custom cabinetry, spacious rec room/gym, laundry room, 3-piece bath and abundant storage. Partially heated driveway. This unique location provides the best of both worlds - the privacy of a tree-lined street, and steps away from the well-loved shops & restaurants that Forest Hill Village has to offer and easy access for all transportation. Moments from leading private schools such as BSS, UCC and St. Mike's, and in the catchment for Forest Hill Elementary School and Forest Hill Collegiate. No stone was left unturned in this impeccably-designed and functional house, making this a home not to be missed.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1883/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.
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.
Larger Home Realities
At 3,000 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 Forest Hill.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 6 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.
