Stately Stone Tudor Set Against a Breathtaking Ravine Backdrop! Tucked away on a quiet crescent and backing directly onto the ravine and Beltline, this distinguished home offers a rare combination of elegance, space, privacy and an exceptional connection to nature-all in the heart of the city! An impressive 61-foot frontage provides an expansive foyer, generously proportioned principal rooms and the added convenience of an attached 1.5-car garage with a private 3 car heated driveway and heated walkway. This home even has its own Muskoka room! There is also a side door mudroom entrance with a closet for convenience. The extraordinary 200+ foot deep lot, framed by mature trees and lush greenery provides privacy and creates a truly serene, country-like setting. Spanning three storeys with five bedrooms and a fully finished lower level with a secondary kitchen, the home is designed for both family living and effortless entertaining. Multiple walk-outs from every level seamlessly extend the living space outdoors, while the lower level features three walk-outs to the ravine garden. The top tier garden is low maintenance AstroTurf, while underground sprinklers service both the front and lower-level gardens. A convenient rear gate provides direct access to the Beltline, making it easy to enjoy the surrounding trails and natural beauty. A truly special setting offering the best of both worlds: tranquil ravine-side living with exceptional access to transit, schools, shops and restaurants.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1427/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.
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.
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.
Excellent Flexibility
With 5 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 Forest Hill.
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.
