House of the Week: $3.8 million for a house of terraces in Forest Hill South

Address: 2 Tarlton Road
Neighbourhood: Forest Hill South
Agent: Elizabeth Ching, RE/MAX Realtron Realty Inc. Brokerage
Price: $3,800,000

The Place: With a tiered design inspired by traditional rice terraces, this contemporary, three-bedroom home is perched on a corner overlooking the treetops of Kay Gardner Beltline Park.

Bragging Rights: The lower level is at-grade and lined with picture windows, meaning it easily converts into a sun-filled studio or workspace, complete with its own bathroom and kitchenette.

Big Selling Point: The home was designed and built for the owner, MTF Design, and so there are plenty of top-of-the-line finishes, like a Boffi kitchen, Miele and Thermador appliances, Vola plumbing and motorized blinds (to keep out prying eyes).

Possible Deal Breaker: Because it’s a corner lot, the backyard is nearly non-existent, but the lush landscaping, massive terraces and city park at the front door won’t leave the owner wanting for outdoor space.
