House of the Week: $3.3 million for a Lawrence Park North mini-mansion with living space to spare
House of the Week: $3.3 million for a Lawrence Park North mini-mansion with living space to spare
Address: 1 Haddington Avenue
Neighbourhood: Lawrence Park North
Agent: Robert S. Greenberg and Adam David Weiner, Harvey Kalles Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $3,295,000
The Place: A modern stone-and-glass manse just a stone’s throw (get it?) away from the Cricket Club.
Bragging Rights: The master suite has something for everyone. For the romantic, there’s a fireplace tucked away in a corner. For the shopaholic, the walk-in closet is massive (and it has a skylight, no less). And for the spa-obsessed, the enormous washroom features a soaker tub and a huge shower, with views of the treetops outside.
Big Selling Point: The glass wine cabinet that separates the dining room from the kitchen is the kind of focal point we can get behind. China hutches are so last millennium.
Possible Deal Breaker: Seven washrooms mean every bedroom comes with its own en suite. We’d suggest installing a timer in each one, though—otherwise, the owner may have to brace for a shock when the water bill arrives.
By the Numbers:
• $3,295,000
• 5 bedrooms
• 7 washrooms
• 4 parking spaces
• 2 fireplaces
• 1 wine cabinet
• 1 enormous walk-in closet

 away from the Cricket Club.
Bragging Rights: The master suite has something for everyone. For the romantic, there’s a fireplace tucked away in a corner. For the shopaholic, the walk-in closet is massive (and it has a skylight, no less). And for the spa-obsessed, the enormous washroom features a soaker tub and a huge shower, with views of the treetops outside.
Big Selling Point: The glass wine cabinet that separates the dining room from the kitchen is the kind of focal point we can get behind. China hutches are so last millennium.
Possible Deal Breaker: Seven washrooms mean every bedroom comes with its own en suite. We’d suggest installing a timer in each one, though—otherwise, the owner may have to brace for a shock when the water bill arrives.
By the Numbers:
• $3,295,000
• 5 bedrooms
• 7 washrooms
• 4 parking spaces
• 2 fireplaces
• 1 wine cabinet
• 1 enormous walk-in closet

The possible deal breaker for me (other than lack of cash) would be that exterior façade. Yikes.
