House of the Week: $1.1 million for a brand-new family home just north of Christie Pits

BRAGGING RIGHTS: An abundance of glass—from the front exterior to the glass curtain running down the three flights of stairs—gives the house an undeniably clean vibe.

BIG SELLING POINT: The master ensuite feels like a Zen spa, with its rain showerhead, private deck and Japanese-inspired tub (though the square edges on the latter may take some getting used to).

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Your Windex budget would have to double, at least.

BY THE NUMBERS: • $1,149,000 • $3,682 in taxes (2011) • 2,700 square feet • 4 bathrooms • 3 bedrooms • 2 parking spaces • 9-foot ceilings (main floor) • 10-foot ceilings (second floor) • 1 gas fireplace
