House of the Week: $4 million for a sprawling family home in Rosedale
Address: 18 McKenzie Avenue
Neighbourhood: Rosedale-Moore Park
Agent: Jacqueline A. Yaffe, Forest Hill Real Estate Inc., Brokerage
Price: $3,950,000
The Place: A sprawling five-bedroom family home on a tree-lined street in Rosedale, just north of Castle Frank Station.
Bragging Rights: Featured back in 2010 as one of our Great Spaces, this house has a little bit of a reputation. The current owners are known for their “raucous parties.”
Big Selling Point: Natural light floods the main-floor rooms through a private, inner courtyard.
Possible Deal Breaker: At about 7000 square feet, it’s a large place. The new owner is going to need some big furniture—or, at least, a lot of normal-sized furniture—to fill all the spacious rooms.
By The Numbers:
• $3,950,000 • $24,960.75 in property taxes (2013) • 7,000 square feet, give or take • 6 parking spots • 6 bathrooms • 5 bedrooms • 5 fireplaces • 3 storeys • 1 private courtyard • 1 balcony
