A four-plus-two-bedroom, five-bathroom freehold house just off Midland in Birchcliffe-Cliffside.

It’s within walking distance of the Scarborough GO station, St. Clair East and several parks. And motorists are a short drive from Kingston Road, Eglinton and the Bluffs.

The History

This never-before-lived-in house was built in 2024.

The Tour

Here’s the façade, which is mostly stone and stucco with some fluted panelling to add a bit of pop.

The foyer is defined by its chevron-patterned door, marble floors and funky chandelier. Those double doors on the right open to a jumbo coat closet.

Pulling back lets residents take in the mezzanine. It comes with iron picket railings and walks up to the living room.

Here’s a closer look at the living room’s gold-plated accent wall, lounge and big window overlooking the neighbourhood.

The powder room, meanwhile, has a gold-veined sink.

Just beyond the living room is the dining area. Like the rest of the home, it’s lined with engineered hardwood floors.

Next is the kitchen, with an eight-foot island, a fluted hood vent, a Bosch five-burner cooktop, a built-in oven-microwave combo and a 36-inch refrigerator, both Samsung.

In the family room: a floating fireplace with a marble surround.

Heading upstairs highlights the second-floor landing, which has two skylights.

This is one of the secondary bedrooms, with its own wood-panelled accent wall.

It also comes with this walk-in closet.

This secondary ensuite bathroom includes more marble, a double vanity, and a glass shower with a waterfall head and cubby.

A reverse angle reveals the soaker tub with a view.

Now for the main suite, with a walkout balcony and custom closets.

Here’s the main ensuite.

And here’s the washer-dryer next to the linen closet.

Now let’s head down to the finished basement. Ideal for a nanny suite or a rental unit, it has a full kitchen, two bedrooms (both with walk-ins), a three-piece bathroom and a rec room.

There’s another black-and-white bathroom down here as well.

Lastly, here’s a look at the backyard, with a deck, fences for privacy and a separate entrance descending to the basement.
