House of the Week: $2.8 million for a Forest Hill Tudor with modern conveniences (and a secret hatch)

Bragging Rights: One of the second floor bedrooms has a secret ladder that leads to the third floor loft, making for a pretty cool hideaway.

Big Selling Point: The home has a lot of smart, modern touches. There’s a toe-touch vacuum in the kitchen (no more dust pans!), a laundry chute in the master dressing room and a tricked-out master bathroom with a television, a towel warmer and a heated floor.

Possible Deal Breaker: This is a great area, but if the buyer is planning a teardown they’d better watch out: the neighbours can be litigious.

By the Numbers:

• $2,795,000 • $10,819.83 in taxes (2014) • 4 bedrooms • 5 bathrooms • 1 secret trap door • 1 basement gym • 4-year-old renovations
