Rarely does a home offer this much space, style + flexibility while still feeling warm, inviting and entirely livable. Set on one of Roncesvalles' most loved streets, this beautifully renovated detached home offers 3,850 sq. ft. across levels, with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a layout designed for real family living. Gorgeous original plaster ceiling arches bring character and history to spaces beautifully reimagined for today. A dedicated entry foyer with a large closet contains the inevitable clutter of coming and going, while a private main-floor powder room is thoughtfully tucked away. The main floor strikes that hard-to-find balance between open concept and rooms with purpose. French doors open to a handsome formal living room overlooking the front garden with wall panelling details resulting in a sophisticated, private space for conversation, reading or entertaining. At the heart of the home, a bright kitchen centres around an oversized island where everyday life naturally gathers: relaxed mornings, homework after school, casual dinners and evenings with friends. The light-filled family room invites you to settle in around the wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, an exceptionally versatile bedroom configuration sets this home apart. 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 3 more on the 3rd create flexibility for growing families, working from home, guests and teenagers, with privacy for everyone. Plumbing made accessable for a 3rd floor washroom if desired. The lower level adds generous living space plus a separate kitchen/wet bar and could easily adapt to accommodate in-laws or a nanny. Outside, a substantial 22' x 20' deck and double garage complete the package. Renovated in 2023 with award-winning Two Fold Interiors, all just moments from High Park in one direction and the shops, restaurants + unmistakable convenience of Roncesvalles in the other. A stylish, substantial family home with space to be together, rooms to retreat + the flexibility to evolve with you.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1280/sqft, this property is priced above the High 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.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in High 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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 6 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 High Park.
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.
About High Park-Swansea
I know High Park-Swansea 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: High Park properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $13,329 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
