House of the Week: $3 million for a regal Rosedale mansion on one of Toronto’s most distinguished blocks

BRAGGING RIGHTS: Exclusivity. The semi-private road with cobblestone edges and coach lamps is the closest thing you can find to a gated community in Toronto.

BIG SELLING POINT: This home oozes curb appeal—three impressive storeys, an original cedar shake roof (with copper treatments), a circular red-brick awning and impeccable landscaping.

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: The family room is cozy (check out the leaded glass windows and original oak flooring)—but it could do with a modern update.

BY THE NUMBERS: • $2,995,000 • 85 years old • 70 feet of frontage • 6 bedrooms • 5 bathrooms • 2 fireplaces • 1 exercise room • 1 semi-private road
