Address: 21 McMaster Avenue
Neighbourhood: Casa Loma
Agent: Lizanne Bertrand, Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage Price: $2,395,000

The Place: A three-story home designed by Ron Thom and located in the exclusive (and maybe even slightly cultish) Rathnelly neighbourhood.

Bragging Rights: Did we mention Ron Thom designed this home? He’s one of Canada’s most famous mid-century architects, best known locally for designing U of T’s Massey College and Ryerson’s Architecture building. His work has earned comparisons to that of giants like Frank Lloyd Wright.

Big Selling Point: The entire second floor serves as a master retreat with a walkout balcony, sitting room (with fireplace) and 4-piece bathroom.

Possible Deal Breaker: The third-floor bedrooms have sloping walls that may make them difficult to furnish, and the “open concept” washroom they share is a little unusual. But a private balcony should be ample compensation for whichever family members end up sleeping there.

By The Numbers:

• $2,395,000 • $50,000 worth of landscaping • $8,846.02 in taxes (2014) • 35 years old, approximately • 3 bedrooms • 3 bathrooms • 3 storeys • 2 fireplaces • 2-car garage
