Timeless Architecture Meets Modern Family Living in the Heart of the Scarborough Bluffs. This redesigned home, set on a spectacular 100' x 151' lot, was originally built in 1949 as one of the first homes on the street. The nearly 3,500 sq. ft. residence was thoughtfully expanded with a second-storey addition and extensive renovations that seamlessly blend timeless character with modern family living. The bright, open-concept layout is filled with natural light and features spacious principal rooms, a large central kitchen overlooking the family room, and living and dining areas with touches of preserved details-including a cork floor, wood batten ceiling, and an exposed brick wall from the original bungalow adding warmth and character to the space. A main-floor bedroom with a full bathroom offers the perfect space for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. The second level features large bedrooms, extensive closet space and an additional family room, creating a separate retreat to relax and unwind. The primary suite is complemented by an adjoining sitting room that offers exceptional flexibility and can easily serve as a nursery, home office, or an additional bedroom. Outside, the home is equally impressive, featuring a circular driveway, private decks, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a timeless exterior finished in a striking combination of stucco, metal, and wood siding, all complemented by a distinctive shake-style roof crafted from environmentally friendly recycled materials. Steps to transit and just minutes from downtown Toronto, this spectacular home is nestled in one of the city's most coveted neighbourhoods, moments from the dramatic Scarborough Bluffs, waterfront parks, beaches, and scenic walking trails, truly a rare opportunity to own a distinctive home.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Pricing
At $663/sqft, this is priced below the area average. This could represent genuine value, but let's investigate why. In my experience, underpriced homes often have deferred maintenance, unfavourable layouts, or motivated sellers. I'll help you determine which it is.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Scarborough 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 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 Scarborough.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 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.
