6 Months lease-Rarely offered for lease in South Richvale - one of Richmond Hill's most established and tightly held pockets. This sprawling detached sidesplit sits on a rare 92-foot frontage and delivers over 3,500 sq ft of above-grade living space, offering a scale of home that is almost impossible to find in the rental market.St back on a mature, tree-lined street, the property greets you with a manicured front lawn, an extended interlock walkway and a private double garage with an oversized driveway accommodating up to 8 vehicles in total - ideal for larger households, multi-driver families, or anyone who regularly entertains.Inside, the sidesplit layout creates natural separation between living, sleeping and entertaining zones, giving the home a sense of privacy that open-concept builds simply can't replicate. Nine principal rooms across multiple levels provide genuine flexibility: [formal living and dining rooms, a family room with fireplace, and a main-floor office/den - adjust to actual layout]. Oversized windows draw light through the main level throughout the day, and the generous room proportions comfortably accommodate full-size furniture.The home offers 4 well-scaled bedrooms and 5 bathrooms - a bathroom count that speaks to how rare this offering is in the lease market. The primary retreat includes [ensuite and closet details], while the additional bedrooms are sized for children, guests, or dedicated work-from-home setups. Location is the story here. South Richvale is prized for its wide lots, quiet streets and central position within York Region. You're minutes to Hwy 407 and Yonge Street, with quick connections to the 404 and Hwy 7. Transit is well served by YRT/Viva along Yonge, with GO service accessible for downtown commuters.Whether you're relocating to the area, building or renovating nearby, or simply want space, privacy and parking without compromise.

Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fairly Priced Rental
At $4,500/mo, this is in line with typical 4-bedroom rents in Richmond Hill (~$4,200/mo). The rent itself may be firm, but there's often room to negotiate on lease terms — move-in date, appliance inclusions, or parking.
Market Position
At 34 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 Richmond 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 3,500 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.
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 Richmond Hill. Good resale value as demand remains consistent.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 5 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.
