A magnificent stone residence, poised above the Humber - Toronto's only Canadian Heritage River - on one of the city's most coveted and private streets. On nearly an acre of ravine land at the end of a quiet Swansea court, this is a true country estate within the city: rare, secluded, and irreplaceable. Settings of this calibre are no longer created. They are simply passed, with privilege, from one steward to the next. Inside, approx. 8,000 sq ft of living space unfolds from a full-height panelled centre hall with parquet inlay. Each update has been curated with intention. Modern touches introduced seamlessly, space added thoughtfully, and not a single decision made at the expense of the home's original charm. Stately principal rooms include a board-and-batten original quarter-sawn oak fireplace room with cut-stone surround and iron strap-hinged built-ins, beamed ceilings, panelled window seats, and terracotta mosaic floors. The kitchen pairs a Viking Professional 6 burner range and twin dishwasher drawers with a wall of wood-framed windows opening into the tree canopy. The formal dining room comfortably seats ten beside French doors to a private balcony; the vaulted third floor is a retreat of its own, with gas fireplace and twin west-facing Juliet balconies framing sunsets over the river valley. Five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, multiple fireplaces, walk-out lower level. Outside: level table land with room for a pool, a curved stone lookout terrace, stone staircase entry, built-in garage, and full-home generator. Swansea - once its own village - offers a walk to Bloor West Village, High Park, top-rated schools, and two subway stations, with downtown and the airport minutes away. Nature at your doorstep, the city at your convenience - a once-in-a-lifetime offering.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1800/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.
Market Position
At 37 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 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.
Larger Home Realities
At 5,000 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 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 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.
