House of the Week: $3.7 million for a recently reno'd North York mansion

Address: 100 Sandringham Drive
Neighbourhood: Wilson Heights Agent: Deep Sachdev, Engel & Volkers Toronto Central Price: $3,688,000 Last renovated in: 2019

The place

A stately 10,000-square-foot mansion with classic interior décor. It’s got six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a giant backyard and parking for five cars. 

The history

In 1997, the original owners tore down their bungalow and built this house. Two years later, the current sellers bought the place and renovated it, bit by bit, over a 20-year period. In 2011, they spent $350,000 on a rear addition to the home. Since then, they’ve upgraded all of the ensuite bathrooms, installed a steam shower in the basement and added stonework to the façade.

The tour

The foyer has granite flooring:

Big selling point

The solarium.

Possible deal breaker

The house is at the end of a quiet private cul-de-sac, but it’s also on the opposite side of a Highway 401 sound barrier.
