ADDRESS: 132 Yarmouth Road
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Dovercourt-Wallace-Emerson-Junction
AGENT: Frank and Mark Gentile, Citysites Realty Inc

THE PLACE: A newly constructed three-bedroom home with a contemporary look near Dupont’s bustling strip of design stores.
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.
