Beyond the front entrance, peaceful views of the private pond and lush landscape create a tranquil, park-like retreat rarely found in such a coveted urban location.Custom built in 1980, this stately four-bedroom residence offers an extraordinary opportunity to reimagine an exceptional property. Offered in "as is" condition, the home presents the perfect canvas for those looking to undertake a significant renovation, thoughtfully restore its timeless character, or explore the opportunity to create a magnificent custom estate (subject to all necessary approvals).

A fourplex is as-of-right on nearly any detached lot in the GTA, and many go further, a sixplex in the right ward, a garden suite, or a two-lot severance. Whether the numbers work comes down to the zone, the overlays, and the parcel, which is exactly what a TESA development read tells you. Get one on this lot before it goes.
