On a charming and grand historic boulevard in an amazing community, this large & graceful historical gem seeks the next talented visionary to reclaim the magnitude, the grandeur, and the significance. Steeped in history, and in the same family for over 60 years, now is the time to seize the opportunity before it's gone again for another generation. The strength and weightiness of these bones cannot be overstated: this is a magnificent double brick home that commands respect and demands to be brought back to prominence through special treatment, love, and care. Standing tall, level, true and proud since 1936, the stories it could tell you of the events it's been through, and the times that it's seen, would simply take your breath away. Spacious, airy, bright and gorgeous are just the beginning of the descriptors. 3 generous bedrooms, expansive living and dining spaces, and a large private backyard all beckon for your updates and personal touches. A private drive with a garage offers the current option of 4 or 5 car parking, or the ability to reimagine parts of that space for various options including an addition or the potential of a garden suite. Bring forth only your finest, for this property deserves nothing but the very best for the makeover and reimagining, before it boldly moves into the future and the next chapter of life. Step forward, brave souls, and see if you feel that you are worthy to the task. If you are, you shall be rewarded greatly.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1167/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.
Market Position
At 17 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 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.
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.
About Humewood-Cedarvale
I know Humewood-Cedarvale well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
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 $7,292 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
