House of the Week: 210 Poplar Plains Road

Address: 210 Poplar Plains Road
Neighbourhood: Casa Loma
Agent: Janet Marlene Lindsay, Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited, Brokerage
Price: $4,900,000

The Place: A towering contemporary home with five bedrooms in the quiet and leafy South Hill neighbourhood.

Bragging Rights: The master suite has two very luxe features: a three-sided fireplace separating the bedroom and bathroom, and a balcony that spans the entire width of the house.

Big Selling Point: Plenty of natural light and fresh air. There are floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor spaces on every level.

Possible Deal Breaker: With marble floors on the main level and Brazilian hardwood on the second and third floors, you’ll probably need to invest in some area rugs—or at least a pair of cozy slippers.
