House of the Week: $1.8 million for a five-bedroom, Beach-adjacent home


ADDRESS
: 67 Blantyre Avenue

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Birchcliffe-Cliffside

AGENT: Paul Sabiston, Royal LePage Estate Realty

PRICE: $1,795,000

THE PLACE: Located just a block from The Beach proper, this large five-bedroom, four-bathroom house has great bone structure, complemented by a renovated kitchen and living room. The huge master bathroom and impressive curb appeal make this place stand out in an area full of post-war standards. With the lake and the Toronto Hunt Club within walking distance, having a beautiful summer has never been simpler.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: The private outdoor hot tub could make this the most popular backyard in town.

BIG SELLING POINT: Heaven’s in the details here, with small upgrades that nudge this home from “comfortable” to “awesome”: Wolf dual stove, massive windows, cathedral ceilings, heated bathroom floors, Miele dishwasher, oversized water heater, customized multi-area sound system, and walk-in rain shower.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The insufferable debate over calling the area “The Beach” or “The Beaches.”

BY THE NUMBERS:
• 50-foot lot
