ADDRESS: 33 Heather Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Leaside-Bennington
AGENT: Charlene Kalia and Erin Ashby, Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage
PRICE: $3,495,000
THE PLACE: A 110-year-old red brick home (that was fully renovated in 2004), set on one of the largest lots in Leaside.
BRAGGING RIGHTS: This home puts the “Lea” in “Leaside”—it was built in 1902 for John Edmund Lea, a member of the prominent family that gave the neighbourhood its name.
BIG SELLING POINT: Those less interested in history lessons may be impressed that the current owner is Nick Kypreos, a former NHL player (with the New York Rangers and Maple Leafs) and Sportsnet host.
POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The massive backyard has a great playground set with swings, a circular slide and a playhouse, so you’ll have to contend with hordes of neighbourhood kids wanting to play. Better stock up on Sunny D while you’re at Pusateri’s.
BY THE NUMBERS: • $3,495,000 • $16,895.11 (2011 taxes) • 110 years old • 80-foot-by-150-foot lot • 6 bathrooms • 4 bedrooms • 2-car garage • 1 amazing backyard playhouse
