House of the Week: $2.5 million for a huge Casa Loma home designed by Eden Smith

Bragging Rights: Eden Smith’s name lends the house some design cachet. He’s responsible for many of the city’s best Arts and Crafts–style homes, including this Rosedale manse.

Big Selling Point: Though the master bedroom has its own bath, the third-floor washroom (and its claw-foot tub) looks like a better place to enjoy a private winter soak.

Possible Deal Breaker: If the new homeowners are looking for more subdued walls, they’ll have to get out the paint and primer (or hire a crew of people to do it for them).

By the Numbers:

• $2,495,000 • 5 bedrooms • 4 bathrooms • 109 years old • 3 storeys • 3 parking spaces • 1 famous architect • 1 outdoor pool
